Repository Details

Dataset Condensation (ICLR21 and ICML21)

Dataset Condensation

Dataset condensation aims to condense a large training set T into a small synthetic set S such that the model trained on the small synthetic set can obtain comparable testing performance to that trained on the large training set.

This repository includes codes for Dataset Condensation with Gradient Matching (ICLR 2021 Oral), Dataset Condensation with Differentiable Siamese Augmentation (ICML 2021) and Dataset Condensation with Distribution Matching (arXiv 2021).

Off-the-shelf synthetic sets can be downloaded from Google Drive. Each .pt file includes 5 synthetic sets learned with ConvNet in 5 independent experiments and corresponding 100 testing accuracies. Note that these synthetic data have been normalized.

Dataset Condensation with Gradient Matching [PDF]

Method

Figure 1: Dataset Condensation (left) aims to generate a small set of synthetic images that can match the performance of a network trained on a large image dataset. Our method (right) realizes this goal by learning a synthetic set such that a deep network trained on it and the large set produces similar gradients w.r.t. the parameters. The synthetic data can later be used to train a network from scratch in a fraction of the original computational load. CE denotes Cross-Entropy.

Setup

install packages in the requirements.

Dataset Condensation with Differentiable Siamese Augmentation [PDF]

Method

Figure 4: Differentiable Siamese augmentation (DSA) applies the same parametric augmentation (e.g. rotation) to all data points in the sampled real and synthetic batches in a training iteration. The gradients of network parameters w.r.t. the sampled real and synthetic batches are matched for updating the synthetic images. A DSA example is given that rotation with the same degree is applied to the sampled real and synthetic batches.

Setup

install packages in the requirements.

Dataset Condensation with Distribution Matching [PDF]

Method

Figure 7: Dataset Condensation with Distribution Matching. We randomly sample real and synthetic data, and then embed them with the randomly sampled deep neural networks. We learn the synthetic data by minimizing the distribution discrepancy between real and synthetic data in these sampled embedding spaces.

Setup

install packages in the requirements.

TinyImageNet

TinyImageNet dataset download. Put it into data_path.
Tricks to solve the out of memory (OOM) problem: Use "if 'BN' not in args.model:" (Line 158) branch, as we suggest including samples from multiple classes when measuring the running mean/std for BatchNorm. Put image optimization (Line 198-201) into the class loop (Line 158), then you can optimize each class independently. We jointly optimize when memory is enough, as empirically we find it is faster.

Basic experiments

python main_DM.py  --dataset CIFAR10  --model ConvNet  --ipc 10  --dsa_strategy color_crop_cutout_flip_scale_rotate  --init real  --lr_img 1  --num_exp 5  --num_eval 5 
# Empirically, for CIFAR10 dataset we set --lr_img 1 for --ipc = 1/10/50, --lr_img 10 for --ipc = 100/200/500/1000/1250. For CIFAR100 dataset, we set --lr_img 1 for --ipc = 1/10/50/100/125.

Figure 8: Learning large-scale synthetic sets on CIFAR10.

DM achieves 67.0 ± 0.3%, 71.2 ± 0.4%, 76.1±0.3%, 79.8±0.3% and 80.8±0.3% testing accuracies with ConvNets when learning 100, 200, 500, 1000 and 1250 images/class synthetic sets on CIFAR10 dataset respectively, which means we can recover 79%, 84%, 90%, 94% and 95% relative performance using only 2%, 4%, 10%, 20% and 25% training data compared to whole dataset training. The performances will be further improved if BatchNorm is used, i.e. ConvNetBN.

Cross-architecture experiments

python main.py  --dataset CIFAR10  --model ConvNetBN  --ipc 50  --init real  --method DSA  --dsa_strategy color_crop_cutout_flip_scale_rotate  --lr_img 0.1  --eval_mode B  --num_exp 5  --num_eval 5

# For DM cross-architecture experiments, we use models with batchnorm layer. --model can be ConvNetBN, AlexNetBN, VGG11BN, ResNet18BN_AP/ResNet18BN, ConvNetASwishBN.

We introduce Swish activation function which may achieve better performance, especially for DC/DSA methods.

Continual learning experiments

We do 5 experiments with 5 seeds to generate the class order for both 5 and 10 step learning:

for seed_cl in range(5):
    np.random.seed(seed_cl)
    class_order = np.random.permutation(num_classes).tolist()

Please download the synthetic sets from Google Drive which are learned in the continual learning scenario and put them into the data path (refer to the code). Then run CL_DM.py using the following scripts:

python CL_DM.py  --dataset CIFAR100  --model ConvNet  --steps 5 --method random 
python CL_DM.py  --dataset CIFAR100  --model ConvNet  --steps 5 --method herding

Synthesizing Informative Training Samples with GAN [PDF]

We propose to learn the latent vectors of generators that produces informative training images. Then, we store the generator and learned latent vectors instead of synthetic images, which needs less storage. The code and data have been released in VICO-UoE/IT-GAN.
