Description

Context

In PyTorch, calling .eval() means we are going into the evaluation mode and the Dropout layer will be deactivated.

Problem

If the training mode did not toggle back in time, the Dropout layer would not be used in some data training and thus affect the training result.

Solution

Developers should call the training mode in the right place to avoid forgetting to switch back to the training mode after the inference step.

Generic

Existing Stage

Example

# PyTorch
# 1. Load and normalize CIFAR10
import torch
import torchvision
import torchvision.transforms as transforms

transform = transforms.Compose(
    [transforms.ToTensor(),
     transforms.Normalize((0.5, 0.5, 0.5), (0.5, 0.5, 0.5))])

batch_size = 4

trainset = torchvision.datasets.CIFAR10(root='./data', train=True,
                                        download=True, transform=transform)
trainloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(trainset, batch_size=batch_size,
                                          shuffle=True, num_workers=0)

testset = torchvision.datasets.CIFAR10(root='./data', train=False,
                                       download=True, transform=transform)
testloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(testset, batch_size=batch_size,
                                         shuffle=False, num_workers=0)

classes = ('plane', 'car', 'bird', 'cat',
           'deer', 'dog', 'frog', 'horse', 'ship', 'truck')

# 2. Define a Convolutional Neural Network
import torch.nn as nn

        self.fc1 = nn.Linear(16 * 5 * 5, 120)
        self.fc2 = nn.Linear(120, 84)

net = Net()

# 3. Define a Loss function and optimizer
import torch.optim as optim

criterion = nn.CrossEntropyLoss()

# 4. Train the network

    running_loss = 0.0
-   net.train()
    for i, data in enumerate(trainloader, 0):
        # get the inputs; data is a list of [inputs, labels]

        inputs, labels = data

        # zero the parameter gradients
        optimizer.zero_grad()

        # forward + backward + optimize
        outputs = net(inputs)
        loss = criterion(outputs, labels)
        loss.backward()
        optimizer.step()

        # print statistics
        running_loss += loss.item()
        if i % 2000 == 1999:    # print every 2000 mini-batches
            print(f'[{epoch + 1}, {i + 1:5d}] loss: {running_loss / 2000:.3f}')
            running_loss = 0.0
            # validation
            net.eval()
            #...

PATH = './cifar_net.pth'
torch.save(net.state_dict(), PATH)

# 5. Test the network on the test data
correct = 0
total = 0
# since we're not training, we don't need to calculate the gradients for our outputs
with torch.no_grad():
    for data in testloader:
        images, labels = data
        # calculate outputs by running images through the network
        outputs = net(images)
        # the class with the highest energy is what we choose as prediction
        _, predicted = torch.max(outputs.data, 1)
        total += labels.size(0)
        correct += (predicted == labels).sum().item()

print(f'Accuracy of the network on the 10000 test images: {100 * correct // total} %')
