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

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 |
- 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.
Please refer to the installation instruction in MindCV.
Please download the ImageNet-1K dataset for model training and validation.
- 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/inceptionv4/inception_v4_ascend.yaml --data_dir /path/to/imagenetIf the script is executed by the root user, the
--allow-run-as-rootparameter must be added tompirun.
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/inceptionv4/inception_v4_ascend.yaml --data_dir /path/to/dataset --distribute FalseTo 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/inceptionv4/inception_v4_ascend.yaml --data_dir /path/to/imagenet --ckpt_path /path/to/ckptPlease refer to the deployment tutorial in MindCV.
