COP: Customized Deep Model Compression via Regularized Correlation-Based Filter-Level Pruning

Introduction

COP is a filter-level pruning algorithm for deep CNNs. It fully considers the correlation among filters and the inequivalence between saving more storage resources and computing resources during the pruning process. This repository is a Tensorflow implementation of our algorithm in IJCAI2019 paper: COP: Customized Deep Model Compression via Regularized Correlation-Based Filter-Level Pruning

Requirements

Ubuntu 16.04

Python == 3.x

Tensorflow >= 1.10.0

Numpy >= 1.14.1

Older versions of dependencies are to be tested.

You are highly recommended to use our docker image (branch 9.0-cudnn7-devel-ubuntu16.04), which satisfies all the requirements above.

Quick Start

# arguments:
#   --train_dir: the directory to save the log file and checkpoint
#   --dataset: it could be "cifar10", "cifar100" and "imagenet"
#   --data_dir: the directory to read data. 
#     - For cifar10: The data files are $data_dir/cifar-10-batches-bin/*.bin
#     - For cifar100: The data files are $data_dir/cifar-100-binary/*.bin
#     - For imagenet: The data files are $data_dir/train/* and $data_dir/validation/*(TFRecord-type)
#   --network: it could be "vgg16", "vgg11", "resnet18", "resnet32", "mobilenet_for_cifar" and "mobilenet_for_imagenet"
#   --alpha, beta, gamma: they are the coefficients when computing the importance of filts, see the paper for details
#   --prune_rate: the ratio of filters to be pruned


## to train a model
mkdir data && cd data && wget https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~kriz/cifar-10-binary.tar.gz && tar -zxvf cifar-10-binary.tar.gz
python train.py --train_dir=vgg-cifar10-model --dataset="cifar10" --data_dir="./data" --network="vgg16"

## to prune and finetune a pretrained model
train_dir=vgg-cifar10-model
python auto_prune.py --train_dir=$train_dir --dataset="cifar10" --data_dir="./data" --network="vgg16" --alpha=1.0 --beta=0.0 --gamma=3.0 --prune_rate=0.1

Please see train.sh and prune.sh for more usage. The imagenet dataset need to transforming to TFRecord-type first, see extra/README.md for details.

Datasets and Architectures Supported

The following table shows the datasets and models which could be used directly now. You could also use other datasets and models with minor changes. Please see next section for how to experiments with your own datasets and models

CIFAR10 CIFAR100 ImageNet
VGG11 N N Y
VGG16 Y Y N
ResNet18 N N Y
ResNet32 Y Y N
MobileNet Y Y Y
...

Use Your Own Models and Datasets

Use new dataset

  1. You should put your new dataset in ./datasets/, please see ./datasets/cifar10.py for reference.

  2. A dataset is obliged to parse the dataset file, do data augmentation, and batch the dataset

  3. You need to implement at least 2 interfaces, they are train_input_fn and test_input_fn, one for training and the other for test

    • train_input_fn should take 3 parameters, which are "data_directory", "batch_size" and "epochs" respectively, and it should return a tf.data.Dataset-type class. You should also do shuffling, data augmentation and batch internally.
    • test_input_fn should take 2 parameters, which are "data_directory" and "batch_size", and it should return a tf.data.Dataset-type class too.

  4. Import the new dataset to config.py and add the new term to parse_net_and_dataset in config.py (just mimic what CIFAR10 does).

Totally speaking, you should create a new file datasets/new_dataset.py which contains at least the following 2 functions and tell config.py to parse the dataset correctly.

def train_input_fn(data_dir, batch_size, epochs, **kargs):
	"""
	Args:
    data_dir: the path of the dataset file
    batch_size: the batch size of the dataset
    epochs: the dataset could provide how many epochs, -1 for infinity
    **kargs: any other parameters you want
  Return:
  	dataset: an object of type tf.data.Dataset(or its sub-classes)
	"""
	pass

def test_input_fn(data_dir, batch_size, **kargs):
	"""
	Args:
    data_dir: the path of the dataset file
    batch_size: the batch size of the dataset
    **kargs: any other parameters you want
  Return:
  	dataset: an object of type tf.data.Dataset(or its sub-classes)
	"""
	pass

Use new model

  1. You need to create 2 new files to use a new model, one for the definition of the model and the other for the pruning details of the model. Put the first file in ./networks/ and the second file in ./prune_algorithm/.
  • For the definition of the model, you should inherit from the class ClassificationBase, it has implement some essential functions for you. You only need to implement all abstract methods defined in ClassificationBase. See the comments in ClassificationBase for details. (You could see ./networks/vgg16 for reference).
  • For the pruning algorithm of the model, you should inherit from the class PruneBase, you need to implement all abstract methods defined in PruneBase and overload other methods if needed. See the comments in PruneBase for details. (You could see ./prune_algorithm/prune_vgg16 for reference).
  1. Import the new model to config.py and parse the model correctly.
