InceptionV4: Inception-v4, Inception-ResNet and the Impact of Residual Connections on Learning

Introduction

InceptionV4 studies whether the Inception module combined with Residual Connection can be improved. It is found that the
structure of ResNet can greatly accelerate the training, and the performance is also improved. An Inception-ResNet v2
network is obtained, and a deeper and more optimized Inception v4 model is also designed, which can achieve comparable
performance with Inception-ResNet v2.[1]

Results

Our reproduced model performance on ImageNet-1K is reported as follows.

Model	Context	Top-1 (%)	Top-5 (%)	Params (M)	Recipe	Download
Inception_v4	D910x8-G	80.88	95.34	42.74	yaml	weights

Notes

• Context: Training context denoted as {device}x{pieces}-{MS mode}, where mindspore mode can be G - graph mode or F - pynative mode with ms function. For example, D910x8-G is for training on 8 pieces of Ascend 910 NPU using graph mode.
• Top-1 and Top-5: Accuracy reported on the validation set of ImageNet-1K.

Quick Start

Preparation

Installation

Please refer to the installation instruction in MindCV.

Dataset Preparation

Please download the ImageNet-1K dataset for model training and validation.

Training

• Distributed Training

It is easy to reproduce the reported results with the pre-defined training recipe. For distributed training on multiple Ascend 910 devices, please run

# distributed training on multiple GPU/Ascend devices
mpirun -n 8 python train.py --config configs/inception_v4/inception_v4_ascend.yaml --data_dir /path/to/imagenet

If the script is executed by the root user, the --allow-run-as-root parameter must be added to mpirun.

Similarly, you can train the model on multiple GPU devices with the above mpirun command.

For detailed illustration of all hyper-parameters, please refer to config.py.

Note: As the global batch size (batch_size x num_devices) is an important hyper-parameter, it is recommended to keep the global batch size unchanged for reproduction or adjust the learning rate linearly to a new global batch size.

• Standalone Training

If you want to train or finetune the model on a smaller dataset without distributed training, please run:

# standalone training on a CPU/GPU/Ascend device
python train.py --config configs/inception_v4/inception_v4_ascend.yaml --data_dir /path/to/dataset --distribute False

Validation

To validate the accuracy of the trained model, you can use validate.py and parse the checkpoint path with --ckpt_path.

python validate.py -c configs/inception_v4/inception_v4_ascend.yaml --data_dir /path/to/imagenet --ckpt_path /path/to/ckpt

Deployment

Please refer to the deployment tutorial in MindCV.
