Network Entity and Loss Construction
Before reading this section, read the tutorials Loss Function on the MindSpore official website first.
Network Basic Unit: Cell
MindSpore uses Cell to construct graphs. You need to define a class that inherits the Cell base class, declare the required APIs and submodules in init, and perform calculation in construct. Cell compiles a computational graph in GRAPH_MODE (static graph mode). It is used as the basic module of neural network in PYNATIVE_MODE (dynamic graph mode). The basic Cell setup process is as follows:
import mindspore.nn as nn
import mindspore.ops as ops
class MyCell(nn.Cell):
def __init__(self, forward_net):
super(MyCell, self).__init__(auto_prefix=True)
self.net = forward_net
self.relu = ops.ReLU()
def construct(self, x):
y = self.net(x)
return self.relu(y)
inner_net = nn.Conv2d(120, 240, 4, has_bias=False)
my_net = MyCell(inner_net)
print(my_net.trainable_params())
[Parameter (name=net.weight, shape=(240, 120, 4, 4), dtype=Float32, requires_grad=True)]
A parameter name is generally formed based on an object name defined by __init__ and a name used during parameter definition. For example, in the foregoing example, a convolutional parameter name is net.weight, where net is an object name in self.net = forward_net, and weight is name: self.weight = Parameter(initializer(self.weight_init, shape), name='weight') when a convolutional parameter is defined in Conv2d.
To align parameter names, you may not need to add object names. The cell provides the auto_prefix interface to determine whether to add object names to parameter names in the cell. The default value is True, that is, add object names. If auto_prefix is set to False, the name of Parameter in the preceding example is weight.
Unit Test
After the Cell is set up, you are advised to build a unit test method for each Cell and compare it with the benchmarking code. In the preceding example, the PyTorch build code is as follows:
import torch.nn as torch_nn
class MyCell_pt(torch_nn.Module):
def __init__(self, forward_net):
super(MyCell_pt, self).__init__()
self.net = forward_net
self.relu = torch_nn.ReLU()
def forward(self, x):
y = self.net(x)
return self.relu(y)
inner_net_pt = torch_nn.Conv2d(120, 240, kernel_size=4, bias=False)
pt_net = MyCell_pt(inner_net_pt)
for i in pt_net.parameters():
print(i.shape)
torch.Size([240, 120, 4, 4])
With the script for building the Cell, you need to use the same input data and parameters to compare the output.
import numpy as np
import mindspore as ms
import torch
x = np.random.uniform(-1, 1, (2, 120, 12, 12)).astype(np.float32)
for m in pt_net.modules():
if isinstance(m, torch_nn.Conv2d):
torch_nn.init.constant_(m.weight, 0.1)
for _, cell in my_net.cells_and_names():
if isinstance(cell, nn.Conv2d):
cell.weight.set_data(ms.common.initializer.initializer(0.1, cell.weight.shape, cell.weight.dtype))
y_ms = my_net(ms.Tensor(x))
y_pt = pt_net(torch.from_numpy(x))
diff = np.max(np.abs(y_ms.asnumpy() - y_pt.detach().numpy()))
print(diff)
# ValueError: operands could not be broadcast together with shapes (2,240,12,12) (2,240,9,9)
The output of MindSpore is different from that of PyTorch. Why?
The default parameters of Conv2d are different in MindSpore and PyTorch.
By default, MindSpore uses the same mode, and PyTorch uses the pad mode. During migration, you need to modify the pad_mode of MindSpore Conv2d.
import numpy as np
import mindspore as ms
import torch
inner_net = nn.Conv2d(120, 240, 4, has_bias=False, pad_mode="pad")
my_net = MyCell(inner_net)
# Construct random input.
x = np.random.uniform(-1, 1, (2, 120, 12, 12)).astype(np.float32)
for m in pt_net.modules():
if isinstance(m, torch_nn.Conv2d):
# Fixed PyTorch initialization parameter
torch_nn.init.constant_(m.weight, 0.1)
for _, cell in my_net.cells_and_names():
if isinstance(cell, nn.Conv2d):
# Fixed MindSpore initialization parameter
cell.weight.set_data(ms.common.initializer.initializer(0.1, cell.weight.shape, cell.weight.dtype))
y_ms = my_net(ms.Tensor(x))
y_pt = pt_net(torch.from_numpy(x))
diff = np.max(np.abs(y_ms.asnumpy() - y_pt.detach().numpy()))
print(diff)
2.9355288e-06
The overall error is about 0.01%, which basically meets the expectation. During cell migration, you are advised to perform a unit test on each cell to ensure migration consistency.
Common Methods of Cells
Cell is the basic unit of the neural network in MindSpore. It provides many flag setting and easy-to-use methods. The following describes some common methods.
Manual Mixed-precision
MindSpore provides an auto mixed precision method. For details, see the amp_level attribute in Model.
However, sometimes the hybrid precision policy is expected to be more flexible during network development. MindSpore also provides the to_float method to manually add hybrid precision.
to_float(dst_type): adds type conversion to the input of the Cell and all child Cell to run with a specific floating-point type.
If dst_type is ms.float16, all inputs of Cell (including input, Parameter, and Tensor used as constants) will be converted to float16. For example, if you want to change all BNs and losses in a network to the float32 type and other operations to the float16 type, run the following command:
import mindspore as ms
from mindspore import nn
# Define model
class Network(nn.Cell):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.layer1 = nn.SequentialCell([
nn.Conv2d(3, 12, kernel_size=3, pad_mode="pad", padding=1),
nn.BatchNorm2d(12),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.MaxPool2d(kernel_size=2, stride=2)
])
self.layer2 = nn.SequentialCell([
nn.Conv2d(12, 4, kernel_size=3, pad_mode="pad", padding=1),
nn.BatchNorm2d(4),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.MaxPool2d(kernel_size=2, stride=2)
])
self.pool = nn.AdaptiveMaxPool2d((5, 5))
self.fc = nn.Dense(100, 10)
def construct(self, x):
x = self.layer1(x)
x = self.layer2(x)
x = self.pool(x)
x = x.view((-1, 100))
out = nn.Dense(x)
return out
net = Network()
net.to_float(ms.float16) #Add the float16 flag to all operations in the net. The framework adds the cast method to the input during compilation.
for _, cell in net.cells_and_names():
if isinstance(cell, (nn.BatchNorm1d, nn.BatchNorm2d, nn.BatchNorm3d)):
cell.to_float(ms.float32)
loss = nn.SoftmaxCrossEntropyWithLogits(sparse=True, reduction='mean').to_float(ms.float32)
net_with_loss = nn.WithLossCell(net, loss_fn=loss)
The customized to_float conflicts with the amp_level in the model. If the customized mixing precision is used, do not set the amp_level in the model.
Customizing Initialization Parameters
Generally, the high-level API encapsulated by MindSpore initializes parameters by default. Sometimes, the initialization distribution is inconsistent with the required initialization and PyTorch initialization. In this case, you need to customize initialization. Initializing Network Arguments describes a method of initializing parameters by using API attributes. This section describes a method of initializing parameters by using Cell.
For details about the parameters, see Network Parameters. This section uses Cell as an example to describe how to obtain all parameters in Cell and how to initialize the parameters in Cell.
Note that the method described in this section cannot be performed in
construct. To change the value of a parameter on the network, use assign.
set_data(data, slice_shape=False) sets parameter data.
For details about the parameter initialization methods supported by MindSpore, see mindspore.common.initializer. You can also directly transfer a defined Parameter object.
import math
import mindspore as ms
from mindspore import nn
# Define model
class Network(nn.Cell):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.layer1 = nn.SequentialCell([
nn.Conv2d(3, 12, kernel_size=3, pad_mode="pad", padding=1),
nn.BatchNorm2d(12),
nn.ReLU(),
nn.MaxPool2d(kernel_size=2, stride=2)
])
self.layer2 = nn.SequentialCell([
nn.Conv2d(12, 4, kernel_size=3, pad_mode="pad", padding=1),

nn.MaxPool2d(kernel_size=2, stride=2)
])
self.pool = nn.AdaptiveMaxPool2d((5, 5))
self.fc = nn.Dense(100, 10)
def construct(self, x):
x = self.layer1(x)
x = self.layer2(x)
x = self.pool(x)
x = x.view((-1, 100))
out = nn.Dense(x)
return out
net = Network()
for _, cell in net.cells_and_names():
if isinstance(cell, nn.Conv2d):
cell.weight.set_data(ms.common.initializer.initializer(
ms.common.initializer.HeNormal(negative_slope=0, mode='fan_out', nonlinearity='relu'),
cell.weight.shape, cell.weight.dtype))
elif isinstance(cell, (nn.BatchNorm2d, nn.GroupNorm)):
cell.gamma.set_data(ms.common.initializer.initializer("ones", cell.gamma.shape, cell.gamma.dtype))
cell.beta.set_data(ms.common.initializer.initializer("zeros", cell.beta.shape, cell.beta.dtype))
elif isinstance(cell, (nn.Dense)):
cell.weight.set_data(ms.common.initializer.initializer(
ms.common.initializer.HeUniform(negative_slope=math.sqrt(5)),
cell.weight.shape, cell.weight.dtype))
cell.bias.set_data(ms.common.initializer.initializer("zeros", cell.bias.shape, cell.bias.dtype))
Freezing Parameters
Parameter has a requires_grad attribute to determine whether to update parameters. When requires_grad=False, Parameter is equivalent to the buffer object of PyTorch.
You can obtain the parameter list in Cell through parameters_dict, get_parameters, and trainable_params of the cell.
parameters_dict: obtains all parameters in the network structure and returns an
OrderedDictwithkeyas the parameter name andvalueas the parameter value.get_parameters: obtains all parameters in the network structure and returns the iterator of the
Parameterin theCell.trainable_params: obtains the attributes whose
requires_gradisTrueinParameterand returns the list of trainable parameters.
import mindspore.nn as nn
net = nn.Dense(2, 1, has_bias=True)
print(net.trainable_params())
for param in net.trainable_params():
param_name = param.name
if "bias" in param_name:
param.requires_grad = False
print(net.trainable_params())
[Parameter (name=weight, shape=(1, 2), dtype=Float32, requires_grad=True), Parameter (name=bias, shape=(1,), dtype=Float32, requires_grad=True)]
[Parameter (name=weight, shape=(1, 2), dtype=Float32, requires_grad=True)]
When defining an optimizer, use net.trainable_params() to obtain the list of parameters that need to be updated.
In addition to setting the parameter requires_grad=False not to update the parameter, you can also use stop_gradient to block gradient calculation to freeze the parameter. When will requires_grad=False and stop_gradient be used?
As shown in the preceding figure, the requires_grad=False does not update some parameters, but the backward gradient calculation is normal.
The stop_gradient directly cuts off backward gradient. When there is no parameter to be trained before the parameter to be frozen, the two parameters are equivalent in function.
However, stop_gradient is faster (with less backward gradient calculations).
If there are parameters to be trained before the frozen parameters, only requires_grad=False can be used.
Saving and Loading Parameters
MindSpore provides the load_checkpoint and save_checkpoint methods for saving and loading parameters. Note that when a parameter is saved, the parameter list is saved. When a parameter is loaded, the object must be a cell.
When loading parameters, you may need to modify the parameter names. In this case, you can directly construct a new parameter list for the load_checkpoint to load the parameter list to the cell.
import mindspore as ms
import mindspore.ops as ops
import mindspore.nn as nn
net = nn.Dense(2, 1, has_bias=True)
for param in net.get_parameters():
print(param.name, param.data.asnumpy())
ms.save_checkpoint(net, "dense.ckpt")
dense_params = ms.load_checkpoint("dense.ckpt")
print(dense_params)
new_params = {}
for param_name in dense_params:
print(param_name, dense_params[param_name].data.asnumpy())
new_params[param_name] = ms.Parameter(ops.ones_like(dense_params[param_name].data), name=param_name)
ms.load_param_into_net(net, new_params)
for param in net.get_parameters():
print(param.name, param.data.asnumpy())
weight [[-0.0042482 -0.00427286]]
bias [0.]
{'weight': Parameter (name=weight, shape=(1, 2), dtype=Float32, requires_grad=True), 'bias': Parameter (name=bias, shape=(1,), dtype=Float32, requires_grad=True)}
weight [[-0.0042482 -0.00427286]]
bias [0.]
weight [[1. 1.]]
bias [1.]
Dynamic and Static Graphs
For Cell, MindSpore provides two image modes: GRAPH_MODE (static image) and PYNATIVE_MODE (dynamic image). For details, see Dynamic Image and Static Graphs.
The inference behavior of the model in PyNative mode is the same as that of common Python code. However, during training, once a tensor is converted into NumPy for other operations, the gradient of the network is truncated, which is equivalent to detach of PyTorch.
When GRAPH_MODE is used or PYNATIVE_MODE is used for training, syntax restrictions usually occur. In these two cases, graph compilation needs to be performed on the Python code. However, MindSpore does not support the complete Python syntax set. Therefore, there are some restrictions on compiling the construct function. For details about the restrictions, see MindSpore Static Graph Syntax.
Common Restrictions
Compared with the detailed syntax description, the common restrictions are as follows:
Scenario 1
Restriction: During image composition (construct functions or functions modified by ms_function), do not invoke other Python libraries, such as NumPy and scipy. Related processing must be moved forward to the
__init__phase. Measure: Use the APIs provided by MindSpore to replace the functions of other Python libraries. The processing of constants can be moved forward to the__init__phase.Scenario 2
Restriction: Do not use user-defined types during graph build. Instead, use the data types provided by MindSpore and basic Python types. You can use the tuple/list combination based on these types. Measure: Use basic types for combination. You can increase the number of function parameters. There is no restriction on the input parameters of the function, and variable-length input can be used.
Scenario 3
Restriction: Do not perform multi-thread or multi-process processing on data during image composition. Measure: Avoid multi-thread processing on the network.
Customized Backward Network Construction
Sometimes, MindSpore does not support some processing and needs to use some third-party library methods. However, we do not want to truncate the network gradient. In this case, what should we do? This section describes how to customize backward network construction to avoid this problem in PYNATIVE_MODE.
In this scenario, a value greater than 0.5 needs to be randomly selected, and the shape of each batch is fixed to max_num. However, the random put-back operation is not supported by MindSpore APIs. In this case, NumPy is used for computation in PYNATIVE_MODE, and then a gradient propagation process is constructed.
import numpy as np
import mindspore as ms
import mindspore.nn as nn
import mindspore.ops as ops
ms.set_context(mode=ms.PYNATIVE_MODE)
ms.set_seed(1)
class MySampler(nn.Cell):
# Customize a sampler and select `max_num` values greater than 0.5 in each batch.
def __init__(self, max_num):
super(MySampler, self).__init__()
self.max_num = max_num
def random_positive(self, x):
# Method of the third-party library NumPy. Select a position greater than 0.5.
pos = np.where(x > 0.5)[0]
pos_indice = np.random.choice(pos, self.max_num)
return pos_indice
def construct(self, x):
# Forward Network Construction
batch = x.shape[0]
pos_value = []
pos_indice = []
for i in range(batch):
a = x[i].asnumpy()
pos_ind = self.random_positive(a)
pos_value.append(ms.Tensor(a[pos_ind], ms.float32))
pos_indice.append(ms.Tensor(pos_ind, ms.int32))
pos_values = ops.stack(pos_value, axis=0)
pos_indices = ops.stack(pos_indice, axis=0)
print("pos_values forword", pos_values)
print("pos_indices forword", pos_indices)
return pos_values, pos_indices
x = ms.Tensor(np.random.uniform(0, 3, (2, 5)), ms.float32)
print("x", x)
sampler = MySampler(3)
pos_values, pos_indices = sampler(x)
grad = ops.GradOperation(get_all=True)(sampler)(x)
print("dx", grad)

When we do not construct this backward process, the gradient will be truncated because the numpy method is used to calculate the pos_value.
As shown in the preceding information, the value of dx is all 0s. In addition, you may find that pos_values forword and pos_indices forword are printed twice in this process. This is because the forward graph is constructed again when the backward graph is constructed in PYNATIVE_MODE. As a result, the forward graph is constructed twice and the backward graph is constructed once, which wastes training resources. In some cases, precision problems may occur. For example, in the case of BatchNorm, moving_mean and moving_var are updated during forward running. As a result, moving_mean and moving_var are updated twice during one training.
To avoid this scenario, MindSpore has a method set_grad() for Cell. In PYNATIVE_MODE mode, the framework synchronously constructs the backward process when constructing the forward process. In this way, the forward process is not executed when the backward process is executed.

The bprop method is added to the MySampler class. The input of this method is forward input (expanded write), forward output (a tuple), and output gradient (a tuple). In this method, a gradient-to-input backward propagation process is constructed.
In batch 0, the values at positions 3, 1, and 3 are randomly selected. The output gradient is 1, and the reverse gradient is [0.00000000e+000, 1.00000000e+000, 0.00000000e+000, 2.00000000e+000, 0.00000000e+000], which meets the expectation.
Dynamic Shape Workarounds
Generally, dynamic shape is introduced due to the following reasons:
The input shape is not fixed.
Operators that cause shape changes exist during network execution.
Different branches of the control flow introduce shape changes.
Now, let’s look at some workarounds for these scenarios.
Input Shape Not Fixed
You can add pads to the input data to a fixed shape. For example, Data Processing of deep_speechv2 specifies the maximum length of
input_length. Shortinput_lengthare padded with 0s, and longinput_lengthare randomly truncated. Note that this method may affect the training accuracy. Therefore, the training accuracy and training performance need to be balanced.You can set a group of fixed input shapes to process the input into several fixed scales. For example, in Data Processing of YOLOv3_darknet53, the processing function
multi_scale_transis added to the batch method, and a shape is randomly selected from MultiScaleTrans for processing.
Currently, the support for completely random input shapes is limited and needs to be supported in the new version.
Operations that Cause Shape Changes During Network Execution
In the scenario where tensors with unfixed shapes are generated during network running, the most common method is to construct a mask to filter out values in invalid positions. For example, in the detection scenario, some boxes need to be selected based on the iou results of the prediction box and real box. The PyTorch implementation is as follows:
def box_select_torch(box, iou_score):
mask = iou_score > 0.3
return box[mask]
In versions later than MindSpore 1.8, masked_select is supported in all scenarios. In MindSpore, masked_select can be implemented as follows:
import mindspore as ms
from mindspore import ops
ms.set_seed(1)
def box_select_ms(box, iou_score):
mask = (iou_score > 0.3).expand_dims(1)
return ops.masked_select(box, mask)
Let’s look at the result comparison.
import torch
import numpy as np
import mindspore as ms
ms.set_seed(1)
box = np.random.uniform(0, 1, (3, 4)).astype(np.float32)
iou_score = np.random.uniform(0, 1, (3,)).astype(np.float32)
print("box_select_ms", box_select_ms(ms.Tensor(box), ms.Tensor(iou_score)))
print("box_select_torch", box_select_torch(torch.from_numpy(box), torch.from_numpy(iou_score)))
box_select_ms [0.14675589 0.09233859 0.18626021 0.34556073]
box_select_torch tensor([[0.1468, 0.0923, 0.1863, 0.3456]])
However, after this operation, dynamic shape is generated, which may cause problems in subsequent network calculation. Currently, you are advised to use the mask to avoid this problem.
def box_select_ms2(box, iou_score):
mask = (iou_score > 0.3).expand_dims(1)
return box * mask, mask
In subsequent computation, if some box operations are involved, check whether the mask needs to be multiplied to filter invalid results.
If a tensor with an unfixed shape is obtained due to feature selection during loss computation, the processing method is basically the same as that during network running. The only difference is that the loss part may not have other operations and the mask does not need to be returned.
For example, we want to select the values of the first 70% positive samples to compute the loss. The PyTorch implementation is as follows:
import torch
import torch.nn as torch_nn
class ClassLoss_pt(torch_nn.Module):
def __init__(self):
super(ClassLoss_pt, self).__init__()
self.con_loss = torch_nn.CrossEntropyLoss(reduction='none')
def forward(self, pred, label):
mask = label > 0
vaild_label = label * mask
pos_num = torch.clamp(mask.sum() * 0.7, 1).int()
con = self.con_loss(pred, vaild_label.long()) * mask
loss, _ = torch.topk(con, k=pos_num)
return loss.mean()
torch.topk is used to obtain the first 70% positive sample data. Currently, MindSpore does not support K as a variable. Therefore, you need to convert the method to obtain the Kth largest value and then obtain the mask of the top K based on the value. The MindSpore implementation is as follows:
import mindspore as ms
from mindspore import ops
from mindspore import nn as ms_nn
class ClassLoss_ms(ms_nn.Cell):
def __init__(self):
super(ClassLoss_ms, self).__init__()
self.con_loss = ms_nn.SoftmaxCrossEntropyWithLogits(sparse=True, reduction="none")
self.sort_descending = ops.Sort(descending=True)
def construct(self, pred, label):
mask = label > 0
vaild_label = label * mask
pos_num = ops.maximum(mask.sum() * 0.7, 1).astype(ms.int32)
con = self.con_loss(pred, vaild_label.astype(ms.int32)) * mask
con_sort, _ = self.sort_descending(con)
con_k = con_sort[pos_num - 1]
con_mask = (con >= con_k).astype(con.dtype)
loss = con * con_mask
return loss.sum() / con_mask.sum()
Let’s look at the test result.
import torch
import numpy as np
import mindspore as ms
ms.set_seed(1)
pred = np.random.uniform(0, 1, (5, 2)).astype(np.float32)
label = np.array([-1, 0, 1, 1, 0]).astype(np.int32)
print("pred", pred)
print("label", label)
t_loss = ClassLoss_pt()
cls_loss_pt = t_loss(torch.from_numpy(pred), torch.from_numpy(label))
print("cls_loss_pt", cls_loss_pt)
m_loss = ClassLoss_ms()
cls_loss_ms = m_loss(ms.Tensor(pred), ms.Tensor(label))
print("cls_loss_ms", cls_loss_ms)

Shape Changes Introduced by Different Branches of Control Flows
The following is an example in the model analysis and preparation section:
import numpy as np
import mindspore as ms
from mindspore import ops
np.random.seed(1)
x = ms.Tensor(np.random.uniform(0, 1, (10)).astype(np.float32))
cond = (x > 0.5).any()
if cond:
y = ops.masked_select(x, x > 0.5)
else:
y = ops.zeros_like(x)
print(x)
print(cond)
print(y)
[4.17021990e-01 7.20324516e-01 1.14374816e-04 3.02332580e-01
1.46755889e-01 9.23385918e-02 1.86260208e-01 3.45560730e-01
3.96767467e-01 5.38816750e-01]
True
[0.7203245 0.53881675]
In cond=True mode, the maximum shape is the same as x. According to the preceding mask adding method, the maximum shape can be written as follows:
import numpy as np
import mindspore as ms
from mindspore import ops
np.random.seed(1)
x = ms.Tensor(np.random.uniform(0, 1, (10)).astype(np.float32))
cond = (x > 0.5).any()
if cond:
mask = (x > 0.5).astype(x.dtype)
else:
mask = ops.zeros_like(x)
y = x * mask
print(x)
print(cond)
print(y)
[4.17021990e-01 7.20324516e-01 1.14374816e-04 3.02332580e-01
1.46755889e-01 9.23385918e-02 1.86260208e-01 3.45560730e-01
3.96767467e-01 5.38816750e-01]
True
[0. 0.7203245 0. 0. 0. 0.
0. 0. 0. 0.53881675]
Note that if y is involved in other computations, the mask needs to be transferred together to filter the valid positions.
Loss Construction
The loss function is essentially a part of network construction and can be constructed using Cell. For details, see Loss Function.
Note that loss generally involves operations such as feature combination, cross entropy, and specification, which are prone to overflow. Therefore, the float16 type is not recommended for loss. A basic network with loss is constructed as follows:
# 1. Build a network.
net = Net()
# 2. Build a loss.
loss = Loss()
# 3. Perform mixed precision on the network.
net = apply_amp(net)
# 4. Use float32 for the loss part.
loss = loss.to_float(ms.float32)
# 5. Combine the network with loss.
net_with_loss = WithLossCell(net, loss)
net_with_loss.set_train()
# 6. Set a backward flag in PYNATIVE mode.
net_with_loss.set_grad()
You can also use the Model interface to encapsulate the network and loss in step 5.
Note that you do not need to set set_train and set_grad when using Model to package the network. The framework sets set_train and set_grad when executing model.train.
