Requirements can be found in requirements.txt.
To download the repository use :
git clone https://github.com/WatChMaL/WatChMaL.git
Before training or evaluation can be done, a container needs to be attached.
A consideration to make is that if training/evaluation needs to be conducted on a particular dataset, then there needs to be config files for that dataset located in the WatChMaL/config/data and WatChMaL/config/data/dataset directories. If there are not any config files for that dataset, then new config files should be created for that dataset.
The first config file should follow the same format as the files in the WatChMaL/config/data directory. Once this file has been created, it should be added to the following directory:
WatChMaL/config/data
The other file should should follow the same format as the files in the WatChMaL/config/data/dataset directory. Once this file has been created, it should be added to the following directory:
WatChMaL/config/data/dataset
In order to override the dataset being used:
python main.py data="name_of_data_config" data/dataset="name_of_dataset_config"
For example, if someone wants to use the short-tank data:
python main.py data=iwcd_short data/dataset=iwcd_cnn_short
# Train and evaluate a resnet model using the sample training config file on gpu 0
python main.py gpu_list=[0]
# Train and evaluate a resnet model using the sample training config file on gpus 0 and 1 (using DistributedDataParallel)
python main.py gpu_list=[0,1]
# Evaluate a pretrained resnet model using the sample evaluation config file on gpu 0
python main.py --config-name=resnet_test gpu_list=[0] tasks.restore_state.weight_file='filepath'
Hydra is used to create composable configs that allow modifications to be made without having to maintain separate configs.
Running main.py with the argument --hydra-help gives documentation on how to use Hydra's command line options for controlling the configuration.
Full Hydra documentation can be found here: https://hydra.cc/docs/tutorials/intro
Run parameters are collected into a main config that is passed to a main function when the code runs. The main config path is set with the command line arguments --config-name / -cn and --config-path / -cp, with the defaults defined in main.py:
@hydra.main(config_path='config/', config_name='resnet_train')
def main(config):
logger.info(f"Running with the following config:\n{OmegaConf.to_yaml(config)}")
This main config specifies subconfigs which are loaded at runtime. An example main config is resnet_train.yaml:
gpu_list:
- 0
- 1
dump_path: './outputs/'
defaults:
- data: iwcd_postveto_nomichel
- data/dataset: iwcd_cnn
- model: classifier
- model/feature_extractor: resnet18
- model/classification_network: resnet_fc
- engine: classifier
- tasks/train: train_resnet
- [email protected]: adam
- [email protected]_loaders.train.sampler: subset_random
- [email protected]_loaders.validation.sampler: subset_sequential
- tasks/evaluate: test
- [email protected]_loaders.test.sampler: subset_sequential
These subconfigs correspond to config groups (more on config groups can be found in the hydra documentation). Generally, all the parameters related to a certain task or object are grouped into separate config groups. The defaults list in the main config contains default config for relevant config groups.
You can list all config groups available for WatChMaL, and the full default config, using the --help command line argument.
$ python main.py --help
main is powered by Hydra.
== Configuration groups ==
Compose your configuration from those groups (group=option)data: iwcd_postveto_nomichel
data/dataset: iwcd_cnn, iwcd_pointnet
engine: classifier
model: classifier
model/classification_network: pointnet_fc, resnet_fc
model/feature_extractor: pointnet, resnet18
optimizers: adam
sampler: subset_random, subset_sequential
tasks/evaluate: test
tasks/train: train_pointnet, train_resnet
== Config ==
Override anything in the config (foo.bar=value)
... [full default config listed]
Config parameters and groups can be overridden in the command line. For example, to run using default configuration:
python main.py
And to override the list of GPUs to use:
python main.py gpu_list=[0]
Default config groups (but not parameters) can also be overridden in the defaults list:
- [email protected]_loaders.train.sampler: subset_random
Some of the config groups listed are used to instantiate objects using hydra. For example subset_random.yaml contains:
# @package _group_._name_
_target_: torch.utils.data.sampler.SubsetRandomSampler
And can be used to instantiate a SubsetRandomSampler, where sampler_config contains the config object obtained from loading subset_random.yaml:
from hydra.utils import instantiate
sampler = instantiate(sampler_config)
Other config packages are used for calling functions. The config object is passed as an instance of OmegaConf's DictConfig (used like a standard dictionary), and then its parameters are used as part of a function. In particular, this is how tasks like training and testing are organized. For example the training task config train_resnet.yaml contains parameters used to set up the training run:
# @package _group_
epochs: 20
report_interval: 10
val_interval: 10
num_val_batches: 32
checkpointing: False
data_loaders:
train:
split_key: train_idxs
batch_size: 512
num_workers: 4
transforms:
- horizontal_flip
- vertical_flip
validation:
split_key: val_idxs
batch_size: 512
num_workers: 4
Which is then used in the call to the task:
def train(self, train_config):
...
# initialize training params
epochs = train_config.epochs
report_interval = train_config.report_interval
val_interval = train_config.val_interval
num_val_batches = train_config.num_val_batches
checkpointing = train_config.checkpointing
In our set up, the data_loaders and optimizers subconfigs of each task (if there are any) are instantiated and configured separately, before performing the tasks.
