Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition (ResNet)

This is a PyTorch implementation of the paper Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition.

ResNets train layers as residual functions to overcome the degradation problem. The degradation problem is the accuracy of deep neural networks degrading when the number of layers becomes very high. The accuracy increases as the number of layers increase, then saturates, and then starts to degrade.

The paper argues that deeper models should perform at least as well as shallower models because the extra layers can just learn to perform an identity mapping.

Residual Learning

If H(x) is the mapping that needs to be learned by a few layers, they train the residual function

F(x)=H(x)−x

instead. And the original function becomes F(x)+x.

In this case, learning identity mapping for H(x) is equivalent to learning F(x) to be 0, which is easier to learn.

In the parameterized form this can be written as,

F(x,{Wi​})+x

and when the feature map sizes of F(x,Wi​) and x are different the paper suggests doing a linear projection, with learned weights Ws​.

F(x,{Wi​})+Ws​x

Paper experimented with zero padding instead of linear projections and found linear projections to work better. Also when the feature map sizes match they found identity mapping to be better than linear projections.

F should have more than one layer, otherwise the sum F(x,{Wi​})+Ws​x also won't have non-linearities and will be like a linear layer.

Here is the training code for training a ResNet on CIFAR-10.

Linear projections for shortcut connection

This does the Ws​x projection described above.

62classShortcutProjection(nn.Module):

#

  • in_channels is the number of channels in x
  • out_channels is the number of channels in F(x,{Wi​})
  • stride is the stride length in the convolution operation for F. We do the same stride on the shortcut connection, to match the feature-map size.

Residual Block

This implements the residual block described in the paper. It has two 3×3 convolution layers.

The first convolution layer maps from in_channels to out_channels , where the out_channels is higher than in_channels when we reduce the feature map size with a stride length greater than 1.

The second convolution layer maps from out_channels to out_channels and always has a stride length of 1.

Both convolution layers are followed by batch normalization.

Bottleneck Residual Block

This implements the bottleneck block described in the paper. It has 1×1, 3×3, and 1×1 convolution layers.

The first convolution layer maps from in_channels to bottleneck_channels with a 1×1 convolution, where the bottleneck_channels is lower than in_channels .

The second 3×3 convolution layer maps from bottleneck_channels to bottleneck_channels . This can have a stride length greater than 1 when we want to compress the feature map size.

The third, final 1×1 convolution layer maps to out_channels . out_channels is higher than in_channels if the stride length is greater than 1; otherwise, outc​hannels is equal to in_channels .

bottleneck_channels is less than in_channels and the 3×3 convolution is performed on this shrunk space (hence the bottleneck). The two 1×1 convolution decreases and increases the number of channels.

#

  • in_channels is the number of channels in x

ResNet Model

This is a the base of the resnet model without the final linear layer and softmax for classification.

The resnet is made of stacked residual blocks or bottleneck residual blocks. The feature map size is halved after a few blocks with a block of stride length 2. The number of channels is increased when the feature map size is reduced. Finally the feature map is average pooled to get a vector representation.

239classResNetBase(nn.Module):

#

  • n_blocks is a list of of number of blocks for each feature map size.
  • n_channels is the number of channels for each feature map size.
  • bottlenecks is the number of channels the bottlenecks. If this is None , residual blocks are used.
  • img_channels is the number of channels in the input.
  • first_kernel_size is the kernel size of the initial convolution layer
