A library of self-supervised methods for unsupervised visual representation learning powered by PyTorch Lightning. We aim at providing SOTA self-supervised methods in a comparable environment while, at the same time, implementing training tricks. The library is self-contained, but it is possible to use the models outside of solo-learn. More details in our paper.

First clone the repo.
Then, to install solo-learn with Dali and/or UMAP support, use:
pip3 install .[dali,umap,h5] --extra-index-url https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/redist
If no Dali/UMAP/H5 support is needed, the repository can be installed as:
pip3 install .
For local development:
pip3 install -e .[umap,h5]
# Make sure you have pre-commit hooks installed
pre-commit install
NOTE: if you are having trouble with dali, install it following their guide.
NOTE 2: consider installing Pillow-SIMD for better loading times when not using Dali.
NOTE 3: Soon to be on pip.
For pretraining the backbone, follow one of the many bash files in scripts/pretrain/
.
We are now using Hydra to handle the config files, so the common syntax is something like:
python3 main_pretrain.py \
# path to training script folder
--config-path scripts/pretrain/imagenet-100/ \
# training config name
--config-name barlow.yaml
# add new arguments (e.g. those not defined in the yaml files)
# by doing ++new_argument=VALUE
# pytorch lightning's arguments can be added here as well.
After that, for offline linear evaluation, follow the examples in scripts/linear
or scripts/finetune
for finetuning the whole backbone.
For k-NN evaluation and UMAP visualization check the scripts in scripts/{knn,umap}
.
NOTE: Files try to be up-to-date and follow as closely as possible the recommended parameters of each paper, but check them before running.

All pretrained models avaiable can be downloaded directly via the tables below or programmatically by running one of the following scripts
zoo/cifar10.sh
, zoo/cifar100.sh
, zoo/imagenet100.sh
and zoo/imagenet.sh
.
Note: hyperparameters may not be the best, we will be re-running the methods with lower performance eventually.

🚀 methods where hyperparameters were heavily tuned.
😪 ViT is very compute intensive and unstable, so we are slowly running larger architectures and with a larger batch size. Atm, total batch size is 128 and we needed to use float32 precision. If you want to contribute by running it, let us know!

We report the training efficiency of some methods using a ResNet18 with and without DALI (4 workers per GPU) in a server with an Intel i9-9820X and two RTX2080ti.
Method | Dali | Total time for 20 epochs | Time for 1 epoch | GPU memory (per GPU) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Barlow Twins | ❌ | 1h 38m 27s | 4m 55s | 5097 MB |
✔️ | 43m 2s | 2m 10s (56% faster) | 9292 MB | |
BYOL | ❌ | 1h 38m 46s | 4m 56s | 5409 MB |
✔️ | 50m 33s | 2m 31s (49% faster) | 9521 MB | |
NNCLR | ❌ | 1h 38m 30s | 4m 55s | 5060 MB |
✔️ | 42m 3s | 2m 6s (64% faster) | 9244 MB |
Note: GPU memory increase doesn't scale with the model, rather it scales with the number of workers.
