知识蒸馏实战：使用CoatNet蒸馏ResNet

摘要

知识蒸馏（Knowledge Distillation），简称KD，将已经训练好的模型包含的知识(”Knowledge”)，蒸馏(“Distill”)提取到另一个模型里面去。Hinton在"Distilling the Knowledge in a Neural Network"首次提出了知识蒸馏（暗知识提取）的概念，通过引入与教师网络（Teacher network：复杂、但预测精度优越）相关的软目标（Soft-target）作为Total loss的一部分，以诱导学生网络（Student network：精简、低复杂度，更适合推理部署）的训练，实现知识迁移（Knowledge transfer）。论文链接：https://arxiv.org/pdf/1503.02531.pdf

蒸馏的过程

知识蒸馏使用的是Teacher—Student模型，其中teacher是“知识”的输出者，student是“知识”的接受者。知识蒸馏的过程分为2个阶段:

• 原始模型训练: 训练"Teacher模型", 简称为Net-T，它的特点是模型相对复杂，也可以由多个分别训练的模型集成而成。我们对"Teacher模型"不作任何关于模型架构、参数量、是否集成方面的限制，唯一的要求就是，对于输入X, 其都能输出Y，其中Y经过softmax的映射，输出值对应相应类别的概率值。
• 精简模型训练: 训练"Student模型", 简称为Net-S，它是参数量较小、模型结构相对简单的单模型。同样的，对于输入X，其都能输出Y，Y经过softmax映射后同样能输出对应相应类别的概率值。
• Teacher学习能力强，可以将它学到的知识迁移给学习能力相对弱的Student模型，以此来增强Student模型的泛化能力。复杂笨重但是效果好的Teacher模型不上线，就单纯是个导师角色，真正部署上线进行预测任务的是灵活轻巧的Student小模型。

最终结论

先把结论说了吧！ Teacher网络使用coatnet_2，Student网络使用ResNet18。如下表

在相同的条件下，加入知识蒸馏后，ResNet18的ACC上升了3个点，提升的还是很高的。如下图：

数据准备

数据使用我以前在图像分类任务中的数据集——植物幼苗数据集，先将数据集转为训练集和验证集。执行代码：

import glob
import os
import shutil

image_list=glob.glob('data1/*/*.png')
print(image_list)
file_dir='data'
if os.path.exists(file_dir):
    print('true')
    #os.rmdir(file_dir)
    shutil.rmtree(file_dir)#删除再建立
    os.makedirs(file_dir)
else:
    os.makedirs(file_dir)

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
trainval_files, val_files = train_test_split(image_list, test_size=0.3, random_state=42)
train_dir='train'
val_dir='val'
train_root=os.path.join(file_dir,train_dir)
val_root=os.path.join(file_dir,val_dir)
for file in trainval_files:
    file_class=file.replace("\\","/").split('/')[-2]
    file_name=file.replace("\\","/").split('/')[-1]
    file_class=os.path.join(train_root,file_class)
    if not os.path.isdir(file_class):
        os.makedirs(file_class)
    shutil.copy(file, file_class + '/' + file_name)

for file in val_files:
    file_class=file.replace("\\","/").split('/')[-2]
    file_name=file.replace("\\","/").split('/')[-1]
    file_class=os.path.join(val_root,file_class)
    if not os.path.isdir(file_class):
        os.makedirs(file_class)
    shutil.copy(file, file_class + '/' + file_name)

定义全局参数

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # 创建保存模型的文件夹
    file_dir = 'resnet_kd'
    if os.path.exists(file_dir):
        print('true')

        os.makedirs(file_dir, exist_ok=True)
    else:
        os.makedirs(file_dir)

    # 设置全局参数
    modellr = 1e-4
    BATCH_SIZE = 16
    EPOCHS = 50
    DEVICE = torch.device('cuda' if torch.cuda.is_available() else 'cpu')

图像预处理与增强

 # 数据预处理7
    transform = transforms.Compose([
        transforms.RandomRotation(10),
        transforms.GaussianBlur(kernel_size=(5, 5), sigma=(0.1, 3.0)),
        transforms.ColorJitter(brightness=0.5, contrast=0.5, saturation=0.5),
        transforms.Resize((224, 224)),
        transforms.ToTensor(),
        transforms.Normalize(mean=[0.44127703, 0.4712498, 0.43714803], std=[0.18507297, 0.18050247, 0.16784933])

    ])
    transform_test = transforms.Compose([
        transforms.Resize((224, 224)),
        transforms.ToTensor(),
        transforms.Normalize(mean=[0.44127703, 0.4712498, 0.43714803], std=[0.18507297, 0.18050247, 0.16784933])

读取数据

使用pytorch默认读取数据的方式。

    # 读取数据
    dataset_train = datasets.ImageFolder('data/train', transform=transform)
    dataset_test = datasets.ImageFolder("data/val", transform=transform_test)
    with open('class.txt', 'w') as file:
        file.write(str(dataset_train.class_to_idx))
    with open('class.json', 'w', encoding='utf-8') as file:
        file.write(json.dumps(dataset_train.class_to_idx))
    # 导入数据
    train_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(dataset_train, batch_size=BATCH_SIZE, shuffle=True)
    test_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(dataset_test, batch_size=BATCH_SIZE, shuffle=False)

设置模型和Loss

	# 实例化模型并且移动到GPU
    criterion = nn.CrossEntropyLoss()
    model_ft = resnet18()
    print(model_ft)
    num_ftrs = model_ft.fc.in_features
    model_ft.fc = nn.Linear(num_ftrs, 12)
    model_ft.to(DEVICE)
    # 选择简单暴力的Adam优化器，学习率调低
    optimizer = optim.Adam(model_ft.parameters(), lr=modellr)
    cosine_schedule = optim.lr_scheduler.CosineAnnealingLR(optimizer=optimizer, T_max=20, eta_min=1e-9)
    # 训练
    val_acc_list= {}
    for epoch in range(1, EPOCHS + 1):
        train(model_ft, DEVICE, train_loader, optimizer, epoch)
        cosine_schedule.step()
        acc=val(model_ft, DEVICE, test_loader)
        val_acc_list[epoch]=acc
        with open('result_student.json', 'w', encoding='utf-8') as file:
            file.write(json.dumps(val_acc_list))
    torch.save(model_ft, 'resnet_kd/model_final.pth')

完成上面的代码就可以开始蒸馏模式！！！

结果比对

加载保存的结果，然后绘制acc曲线。

import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
import json
teacher_file='result.json'
student_file='result_student.json'
student_kd_file='result_kd.json'
def read_json(file):
    with open(file, 'r', encoding='utf8') as fp:
        json_data = json.load(fp)
        print(json_data)
    return json_data

teacher_data=read_json(teacher_file)
student_data=read_json(student_file)
student_kd_data=read_json(student_kd_file)


x =[int(x) for x in  list(dict(teacher_data).keys())]
print(x)

plt.plot(x, list(teacher_data.values()), label='teacher')
plt.plot(x,list(student_data.values()), label='student without KD')
plt.plot(x, list(student_kd_data.values()), label='student with KD')

plt.title('Test accuracy')
plt.legend()

plt.show()

总结

知识蒸馏是常用的一种对轻量化模型压缩和提升的方法。今天通过一个简单的例子讲解了如何使用Teacher网络对Student网络进行蒸馏。
