To implement the most basic version of knowledge distillation from Distilling the Knowledge in a Neural Network and plot loss curves:
import torch
import torch.optim as optim
from torchvision import datasets, transforms
from KD_Lib.KD import VanillaKD
# This part is where you define your datasets, dataloaders, models and optimizers
train_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
datasets.MNIST(
"mnist_data",
train=True,
download=True,
transform=transforms.Compose(
[transforms.ToTensor(), transforms.Normalize((0.1307,), (0.3081,))]
),
),
batch_size=32,
shuffle=True,
)
test_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
datasets.MNIST(
"mnist_data",
train=False,
transform=transforms.Compose(
[transforms.ToTensor(), transforms.Normalize((0.1307,), (0.3081,))]
),
),
batch_size=32,
shuffle=True,
)
teacher_model = <your model>
student_model = <your model>
teacher_optimizer = optim.SGD(teacher_model.parameters(), 0.01)
student_optimizer = optim.SGD(student_model.parameters(), 0.01)
# Now, this is where KD_Lib comes into the picture
distiller = VanillaKD(teacher_model, student_model, train_loader, test_loader,
teacher_optimizer, student_optimizer)
distiller.train_teacher(epochs=5, plot_losses=True, save_model=True) # Train the teacher network
distiller.train_student(epochs=5, plot_losses=True, save_model=True) # Train the student network
distiller.evaluate(teacher=False) # Evaluate the student network
distiller.get_parameters() # A utility function to get the number of
# parameters in the teacher and the student network
To train a collection of 3 models in an online fashion using the framework in Deep Mutual Learning and log training details to Tensorboard:
import torch
import torch.optim as optim
from torchvision import datasets, transforms
from KD_Lib.KD import DML
from KD_Lib.models import ResNet18, ResNet50 # To use models packaged in KD_Lib
# Define your datasets, dataloaders, models and optimizers
train_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
datasets.MNIST(
"mnist_data",
train=True,
download=True,
transform=transforms.Compose(
[transforms.ToTensor(), transforms.Normalize((0.1307,), (0.3081,))]
),
),
batch_size=32,
shuffle=True,
)
test_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
datasets.MNIST(
"mnist_data",
train=False,
transform=transforms.Compose(
[transforms.ToTensor(), transforms.Normalize((0.1307,), (0.3081,))]
),
),
batch_size=32,
shuffle=True,
)
student_params = [4, 4, 4, 4, 4]
student_model_1 = ResNet50(student_params, 1, 10)
student_model_2 = ResNet18(student_params, 1, 10)
student_cohort = [student_model_1, student_model_2]
student_optimizer_1 = optim.SGD(student_model_1.parameters(), 0.01)
student_optimizer_2 = optim.SGD(student_model_2.parameters(), 0.01)
student_optimizers = [student_optimizer_1, student_optimizer_2]
# Now, this is where KD_Lib comes into the picture
distiller = DML(student_cohort, train_loader, test_loader, student_optimizers, log=True, logdir="./logs")
distiller.train_students(epochs=5)
distiller.evaluate()
distiller.get_parameters()
