tensorpack

Neural Network Toolbox on TensorFlowww

See some examples to learn about the framework. You can train them and reproduce the performance... not just to see how to write code.

• DoReFa-Net: training binary / low bitwidth CNN on ImageNet
• ResNet for ImageNet/Cifar10/SVHN classification
• InceptionV3 on ImageNet
• Fully-convolutional Network for Holistically-Nested Edge Detection(HED)
• Spatial Transformer Network on MNIST addition
• Generative Adversarial Network(GAN) variants
• Deep Q-Network(DQN) variants on Atari games
• Asynchronous Advantage Actor-Critic(A3C) with demos on OpenAI Gym
• char-rnn language model

Features:

Describe your training task with three components:

1. Model, or graph. models/ has some scoped abstraction of common models, but you can simply use any symbolic functions available in tensorflow, or most functions in slim/tflearn/tensorlayer. LinearWrap and argscope simplify large models (vgg example).

2. DataFlow. tensorpack allows and encourages complex data processing.

   • All data producer has an unified generator interface, allowing them to be composed to perform complex preprocessing.
   • Use Python to easily handle any data format, yet still keep good performance thanks to multiprocess prefetch & TF Queue prefetch. For example, InceptionV3 can run in the same speed as the official code which reads data by TF operators.

3. Callbacks, including everything you want to do apart from the training iterations, such as:

   • Change hyperparameters during training
   • Print some variables of interest
   • Run inference on a test dataset
   • Run some operations once a while
   • Send the accuracy to your phone

With the above components defined, tensorpack trainer will run the training iterations for you. Multi-GPU training is off-the-shelf by simply switching the trainer. You can also define your own trainer for non-standard training (e.g. GAN).

The components are designed to be independent. You can use only Model or DataFlow in your project.

Dependencies:

• Python 2 or 3

• Python bindings for OpenCV
• other requirements:

pip install --user -r requirements.txt
pip install --user -r opt-requirements.txt (some optional dependencies, you can install later if needed)

• Enable import tensorpack:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:`readlink -f path/to/tensorpack`
