pytorch implementation of Structured Bayesian Pruning, NIPS17. Authors of this paper provided TensorFlow implementation. This implementation is built on pytorch 0.4.
Some preliminary results on MNIST:
| Network | Method | Error | Neurons per Layer |
|---|---|---|---|
| LeNet-5 | Orginal | 0.68 | 20 - 50 - 800 - 500 |
| SBP | 0.86 | 3 - 18 - 284 - 283 | |
| SBP* | 1.17 | 8 - 15 - 163 - 81 |
SBP* denotes the results from my implementation, I believe the results can be improved by hyperparameter tuning.
As a byproduct of my implementation, I roughly plot the graph of average layerwise sparsity vs. the performance of the model in MNIST. Average layerwise sparsity is not an accurate approximation for the compression rate, but you can get an idea how they related in Structred Bayesian Pruning.
The code only contains experiment to reproduce MNIST experiment, the file is LeNet_MNIST.py, however, it can be easily expanded to any other models or dataset. Here I give a simple example on how to custom your own model with Structured Bayesian Pruning.
from SBP_utils import SBP_layer
import torch.nn as nn
import torch
batch = 3
input_dim = 5
output_dim = 10
#for CNN layer, input_dim is number of channels; for linear layer, input_dim is number of neurons
linear = nn.Linear(input_dim,output_dim)
sbp_layer = SBP_layer(output_dim)
#perform forward pass
x = torch.randn(batch, input_dim)
x = linear(x)
y, kl = sbp_layer(x)
#don't forget add kl to loss
loss = loss + kl
