assert num_buckets == self.num_buckets error

[gudrb]

I am trying to use the mini_deit_tiny_patch16_224 with finetuning another subtask having different sequence size of 18 (num of patches) with dimension 192. when operate under code for blk in self.blocks: x = blk(x) i get the error from irpe.py file's in line 574 code "assert num_buckets == self.num_buckets" num_buckets is 50 but self.num_buckets is 49. Do u know why this problem happens and how can i fix it?

Hi @gudrb , thanks for your attention to our work!

Does the class token exist in the fine-tuned model?

If the class token exists (use_cls_token=True), please set skip=1 in https://github.com/microsoft/Cream/blob/main/MiniViT/Mini-DeiT/mini_deit_models.py#L16. It means that the class token is skipped to compute relative positional encoding.

If not, namely (use_cls_token=False), skip should be set to 0.

Thank you for answering,

I am not using class token, but still i tried to use tried to use skip=1 option, and it gives the key error when i load the pretrained model self.v = create_model( 'mini_deit_tiny_patch16_224', pretrained=False, num_classes=1000, drop_rate=0, drop_path_rate=0.1, drop_block_rate=None) checkpoint = torch.load('./checkpoints/mini_deit_tiny_patch16_224.pth', map_location='cpu') self.v.load_state_dict(checkpoint['model'])

I tried to use random variable and observed the blk fuction such as

    x = torch.randn((2, 196, 192), device=x.device)

    for blk in self.v.blocks:
        x = blk(x)
    x = self.v.norm(x)

and i found when i change the second dimension of variable x to another value such as 196 -> N (not 196), then i get the error (num_buckes is 50, and self.num_buckets is 49) File "/data/hyounggyu/Mini-DeiT/irpe.py", line 573, in _get_rp_bucket assert num_buckets == self.num_buckets

Is it possible to use a pretrained model that utilizes IRPE for a different sequence length, such as a varying number of patches?

Yes. You need to pass the two arguments width and height for rpe_k, rpe_q and rpe_v.

Example: https://github.com/microsoft/Cream/blob/main/iRPE/DETR-with-iRPE/models/rpe_attention/rpe_attention_function.py#L330

iRPE is a 2D relative position encoding. If height and width are not specified, they are set to the square root of the sequence length. It leads to wrong number of buckets.

Now, it is working. I modified the code for the MiniAttention class from (https://github.com/microsoft/Cream/blob/4a13c4091e78f9abd2160e7e01c02e48c1cf8fb9/MiniViT/Mini-DeiT/mini_vision_transformer.py#L97) to manually process my patch sequence (9 x 2) from a spectrogram image.

    # image relative position on keys
    if self.rpe_k is not None:
        attn += self.rpe_k(q,9,2)

I hope this is the correct way to utilize the MiniAttention class when fine-tuning the task with a different sequence length.

Thank you.

Do I need to crop or interpolate pretrained relative positional encoding parameters when the sequence length is changed?

When I use the pretrained Mini-DeiT with positional encodings (both absolute and relative), in the case of absolute positional encoding, if the modified sequence length is shorter or longer than 14, I employ cropping and interpolation, respectively.

            # get the positional embedding from deit model,  reshape it to original 2D shape.
            new_pos_embed = self.v.pos_embed.detach().reshape(1, self.original_num_patches, self.original_embedding_dim).transpose(1, 2).reshape(1, self.original_embedding_dim, self.oringal_hw, self.oringal_hw)
            # cut (from middle) or interpolate the second dimension of the positional embedding
            if t_dim <= self.oringal_hw:
                new_pos_embed = new_pos_embed[:, :, :, int(self.oringal_hw / 2) - int(t_dim / 2): int(self.oringal_hw / 2) - int(t_dim / 2) + t_dim]
            else:
                new_pos_embed = torch.nn.functional.interpolate(new_pos_embed, size=(self.oringal_hw, t_dim), mode='bicubic')
            # cut (from middle) or interpolate the first dimension of the positional embedding
            if f_dim <= self.oringal_hw:
                new_pos_embed = new_pos_embed[:, :, int(self.oringal_hw / 2) - int(f_dim / 2): int(self.oringal_hw / 2) - int(f_dim / 2) + f_dim, :]
            else:
                new_pos_embed = torch.nn.functional.interpolate(new_pos_embed, size=(f_dim, t_dim), mode='bicubic')
            # flatten the positional embedding
            new_pos_embed = new_pos_embed.reshape(1, self.original_embedding_dim, num_patches).transpose(1,2)

@gudrb No. You don't. Relative position encoding can be adapted with the longer sequence.
