Loading the Model from Hub

For Inference Validation

mindspore_hub.load API is used to load the pre-trained model in a single line of code. The main process of model loading is as follows:

Search the model of interest on MindSpore Hub Website.

For example, if you aim to perform image classification on CIFAR-10 dataset using GoogleNet, please search on MindSpore Hub Website with the keyword GoogleNet. Then all related models will be returned. Once you enter into the related model page, you can get the website url.

Complete the task of loading model using url , as shown in the example below:

import mindspore_hub as mshub
import mindspore
from mindspore import context, Tensor, nn, Model
from mindspore import dtype as mstype
import mindspore.dataset.vision.py_transforms as py_transforms

context.set_context(mode=context.GRAPH_MODE,
                     device_target="Ascend",
                     device_id=0)

model = "mindspore/ascend/0.7/googlenet_v1_cifar10"

# Initialize the number of classes based on the pre-trained model.
network = mshub.load(model, num_classes=10)
network.set_train(False)

# ...

After loading the model, you can use MindSpore to do inference. You can refer to Multi-Platform Inference Overview.

For Transfer Training

When loading a model with mindspore_hub.load API, we can add an extra argument to load the feature extraction part of the model only. So we can easily add new layers to perform transfer learning. This feature can be found in the related model page when an extra argument (e.g., include_top) has been integrated into the model construction by the model developer. The value of include_top is True or False, indicating whether to keep the top layer in the fully-connected network.

We use MobileNetV2 as an example to illustrate how to load a model trained on the ImageNet dataset and then perform transfer learning (re-training) on a specific sub-task dataset. The main steps are listed below:

Search the model of interest on MindSpore Hub Website and get the related url.

Load the model from MindSpore Hub using the url. Note that the parameter include_top is provided by the model developer.

import os
import mindspore_hub as mshub
import mindspore
from mindspore import context, Tensor, nn
from mindspore.nn import Momentum
from mindspore.train.serialization import save_checkpoint, load_checkpoint,load_param_into_net
from mindspore import ops
import mindspore.dataset as ds
import mindspore.dataset.transforms.c_transforms as C2
import mindspore.dataset.vision.c_transforms as C
from mindspore import dtype as mstype
from mindspore import Model
context.set_context(mode=context.GRAPH_MODE, device_target="Ascend", device_id=0)

model = "mindspore/ascend/1.0/mobilenetv2_v1.0_openimage"
network = mshub.load(model, num_classes=500, include_top=False, activation="Sigmoid")
network.set_train(False)

Add a new classification layer into current model architecture.

class ReduceMeanFlatten(nn.Cell):
      def __init__(self):
         super(ReduceMeanFlatten, self).__init__()
         self.mean = ops.ReduceMean(keep_dims=True)
         self.flatten = nn.Flatten()

      def construct(self, x):
         x = self.mean(x, (2, 3))
         x = self.flatten(x)
         return x

# Check MindSpore Hub website to conclude that the last output shape is 1280.
last_channel = 1280

# The number of classes in target task is 10.
num_classes = 10

reducemean_flatten = ReduceMeanFlatten()

classification_layer = nn.Dense(last_channel, num_classes)
classification_layer.set_train(True)

train_network = nn.SequentialCell([network, reducemean_flatten, classification_layer])

Define dataset_loader.

As shown below， the new dataset used for fine-tuning is the CIFAR-10. It is noted here we need to download the binary version dataset. After downloading and decompression, the following code can be used for data loading and processing. It is noted the dataset_path is the path to the dataset and should be given by the user.

def create_cifar10dataset(dataset_path, batch_size, do_train):
    if do_train:
        usage, shuffle = "train", True
    else:
        usage, shuffle = "test", False

    data_set = ds.Cifar10Dataset(dataset_dir=dataset_path, usage=usage, shuffle=True)

    # define map operations
    trans = [C.Resize((256, 256))]
    if do_train:
        trans += [
            C.RandomHorizontalFlip(prob=0.5),
        ]

    trans += [
        C.Rescale(1.0 / 255.0, 0.0),
        C.Normalize([0.5, 0.5, 0.5], [0.5, 0.5, 0.5]),
        C.HWC2CHW()
    ]

    type_cast_op = C2.TypeCast(mstype.int32)

    data_set = data_set.map(operations=type_cast_op, input_columns="label", num_parallel_workers=8)
    data_set = data_set.map(operations=trans, input_columns="image", num_parallel_workers=8)

    # apply batch operations
    data_set = data_set.batch(batch_size, drop_remainder=True)
    return data_set

# Create Dataset
dataset_path = "/path_to_dataset/cifar-10-batches-bin"
dataset = create_cifar10dataset(dataset_path, batch_size=32, do_train=True)

Define loss, optimizer and learning rate.

def generate_steps_lr(lr_init, steps_per_epoch, total_epochs):
    total_steps = total_epochs * steps_per_epoch
    decay_epoch_index = [0.3*total_steps, 0.6*total_steps, 0.8*total_steps]
    lr_each_step = []
    for i in range(total_steps):
        if i < decay_epoch_index[0]:
            lr = lr_init
        elif i < decay_epoch_index[1]:
            lr = lr_init * 0.1
        elif i < decay_epoch_index[2]:
            lr = lr_init * 0.01
        else:
            lr = lr_init * 0.001
        lr_each_step.append(lr)
    return lr_each_step

# Set epoch size
epoch_size = 60

# Wrap the backbone network with loss.
loss_fn = nn.SoftmaxCrossEntropyWithLogits(sparse=True, reduction="mean")
loss_net = nn.WithLossCell(train_network, loss_fn)
steps_per_epoch = dataset.get_dataset_size()
lr = generate_steps_lr(lr_init=0.01, steps_per_epoch=steps_per_epoch, total_epochs=epoch_size)
# Create an optimizer.
optim = Momentum(filter(lambda x: x.requires_grad, classification_layer.get_parameters()), Tensor(lr, mindspore.float32), 0.9, 4e-5)
train_net = nn.TrainOneStepCell(loss_net, optim)

Start fine-tuning.

for epoch in range(epoch_size):
    for i, items in enumerate(dataset):
        data, label = items
        data = mindspore.Tensor(data)
        label = mindspore.Tensor(label)

        loss = train_net(data, label)
        print(f"epoch: {epoch}/{epoch_size}, loss: {loss}")
    # Save the ckpt file for each epoch.
    if not os.path.exists('ckpt'):
       os.mkdir('ckpt')
    ckpt_path = f"./ckpt/cifar10_finetune_epoch{epoch}.ckpt"
    save_checkpoint(train_network, ckpt_path)

Eval on test set.
