S2-BNN (Self-supervised Binary Neural Networks Using Distillation Loss)

This is the official pytorch implementation of our paper:

"S2-BNN: Bridging the Gap Between Self-Supervised Real and 1-bit Neural Networks via Guided Distribution Calibration" (CVPR 2021)

by Zhiqiang Shen, Zechun Liu, Jie Qin, Lei Huang, Kwang-Ting Cheng and Marios Savvides.

In this paper, we introduce a simple yet effective self-supervised approach using distillation loss for learning efficient binary neural networks. Our proposed method can outperform the simple contrastive learning baseline (MoCo V2) by an absolute gain of 5.5∼15% on ImageNet.

The student models are not restricted to the binary neural networks, you can replace with any efficient/compact models.

News

[Aug. 18, 2021] Add ResNet-50 result as the student (real-valued model) with SwAV/RN50-w4 as the teacher.

  • Python
  • PyTorch
  • Torchvision

2. Data:

Training & Testing

To train a model, run the following scripts. All our models are trained with 8 GPUs.

1. Standard Two-Step Training:

Our enhanced MoCo V2:

Step 1:

cd Contrastive_only/step1
python main_moco.py --lr 0.0003 --batch-size 256 --dist-url 'tcp://localhost:10001' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 1 --rank 0 [imagenet-folder with train and val folders]  --mlp --moco-t 0.2 --aug-plus --cos -j 48

Step 2:

cd Contrastive_only/step2
python main_moco.py --lr 0.0003 --batch-size 256 --dist-url 'tcp://localhost:10001' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 1 --rank 0 [imagenet-folder with train and val folders]  --mlp --moco-t 0.2 --aug-plus --cos -j 48  --model-path ../step1/checkpoint_0199.pth.tar

Our MoCo V2 + Distillation Loss:

Download real-valued teacher network here. We use MoCo V2 800-epoch pretrained model, while you can choose other stronger self-supervised models as the teachers.

Step 1:

cd Contrastive+Distillation/step1
python main_moco.py --lr 0.0003 --batch-size 256 --dist-url 'tcp://localhost:10001' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 1 --rank 0 [imagenet-folder with train and val folders] --mlp --moco-t 0.2 --aug-plus --cos -j 48 --wd 0  --teacher-path ../../moco_v2_800ep_pretrain.pth.tar

Step 2:

cd Contrastive+Distillation/step2
python main_moco.py --lr 0.0003 --batch-size 256 --dist-url 'tcp://localhost:10001' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 1 --rank 0 [imagenet-folder with train and val folders] --mlp --moco-t 0.2 --aug-plus --cos -j 48 --wd 0  --teacher-path ../../moco_v2_800ep_pretrain.pth.tar --model-path ../step1/checkpoint_0199.pth.tar

Our Distillation Loss Only:

Step 1:

cd Distillation_only/step1
python main_moco.py --lr 0.0003 --batch-size 256 --dist-url 'tcp://localhost:10001' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 1 --rank 0 [imagenet-folder with train and val folders] --mlp --moco-t 0.2 --aug-plus --cos -j 48 --wd 0 --teacher-path ../../moco_v2_800ep_pretrain.pth.tar

Step 2:

cd Distillation_only/step2
python main_moco.py --lr 0.0003 --batch-size 256 --dist-url 'tcp://localhost:10001' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 1 --rank 0 [imagenet-folder with train and val folders] --mlp --moco-t 0.2 --aug-plus --cos -j 48 --wd 0 --teacher-path ../../moco_v2_800ep_pretrain.pth.tar --model-path ../step1/checkpoint_0199.pth.tar

2. Simple One-Step Training (Conventional):

Our enhanced MoCo V2:

cd Contrastive_only/step2
python main_moco.py --lr 0.0003 --batch-size 256 --dist-url 'tcp://localhost:10001' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 1 --rank 0 [imagenet-folder with train and val folders] --mlp --moco-t 0.2 --aug-plus --cos -j 48

Our MoCo V2 + Distillation Loss:

cd Contrastive+Distillation/step2
python main_moco.py --lr 0.0003 --batch-size 256 --dist-url 'tcp://localhost:10001' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 1 --rank 0 [imagenet-folder with train and val folders] --mlp --moco-t 0.2 --aug-plus --cos -j 48 --wd 0 --teacher-path ../../moco_v2_800ep_pretrain.pth.tar

Our Distillation Loss Only:

cd Distillation_only/step2
python main_moco.py --lr 0.0003 --batch-size 256 --dist-url 'tcp://localhost:10001' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 1 --rank 0 [imagenet-folder with train and val folders] --mlp --moco-t 0.2 --aug-plus --cos -j 48 --wd 0 --teacher-path ../../moco_v2_800ep_pretrain.pth.tar

You can replace binary neural networks with any kinds of efficient/compact models on one-step training.

3. Testing:

  • To linearly evaluate a model, run the following script:

    python main_lincls.py  --lr 0.1  -j 24  --batch-size 256  --pretrained  /home/szq/projects/s2bnn/checkpoint_0199.pth.tar --dist-url 'tcp://localhost:10001' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 1 --rank 0 [imagenet-folder with train and val folders]
