How to add support to DenseNet from torchvision #165

mstaczek · 2022-09-27T09:22:20Z

I wanted to use LRP with DesneNet121 from torchvision. So far, in zennit.torchvision I found canonizers for ResNet and VGG and I wonder if I may use them (to get some results) or I need to write my own custom canonizer (because the network has some new layers that were not covered by previous canonizers?).

Thanks for your help!

Hey @mstaczek

the truth is, DenseNet is quite tricky with LRP in the sense that the DenseLayers within the DenseBlocks end with a linear layer without an activation, and start with a BatchNorm. This means that, with the residual connections, multiple BatchNorm layers are connected to multiple Linear layers, so they cannot be merged into the linear layer as it is normally done.

Current State

Using DenseNet without canonizers does not work correctly:

Heatmaps without canonizers

You can use the Epsilon rule in BatchNorm layers for slightly better results:

Heatmaps without canonizers, with Epsilon in BatchNorm

Here's some code to produce heatmaps with densenet121:

Implementing a DenseNet Canonizer

Ultimately, a canonizer needs to be implemented also for DenseNet, due to its problematic BatchNorms.
We cannot merge the BatchNorms into the adjacent linear layer, since multiple BatchNorms use the same linear layer, and we cannot merge the adjacent linear layer into the BatchNorms, since the BatchNorm is not expressive enough.

There are a few settings of BatchNorms that need different handling:

BatchNorm at the beginning of DenseBlock: This is a single linear layer followed by ReLU. Instead of being merged, it needs to use a rule (i.e. Epsilon)
BatchNorm within DenseBlock, anywhere but the beginning: This needs to be merged with all directly connected previous linear layers. This could be done by overwriting the forward function to become the merge of the linear functions, similar to how it is done for the ResNetCanonizer, and then setting the connected linear layers to become the identity. This is probably very involved.
BatchNorm at the beginning of TransitionBlocks: essentially the same as the BatchNorms within the DenseBlock
Final BatchNorm: Same handling as the TransitionBlock, but has an additional Linear layer following it that will also need to be merged.

There may be things that I overlooked, but LRP for DenseNet, is, by the design of LRP, currently quite a challenge to get right. It needs careful thinking in order to be done as implied by the definition of LRP.

I will try to discuss this in our Lab and see if there's a better solution, but maybe until then you can try the Epsilon rule for BatchNorm layers.

Wow, I did not expect it to be such a challenge!

Thank you for the explanation and sample heatmaps. They really help to convince that a custom canonizer is necessary for DenseNets. I will think about implementing it after reading more about DenseNet, it's blocks and LRP.
