一些Pytorch常用的代码段，会慢慢继续填充。

$$x_2$$

$$sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta = 1$$

首先需要调用的基本包大致为：

1
2

5
6

import collections
import os
import shutil
import tqdm

import numpy as np
import PIL.Image
import torch
import torchvision

基础配置

检查 PyTorch 版本

1
2
3
4
torch.__version__               # PyTorch version
torch.version.cuda              # Corresponding CUDA version
torch.backends.cudnn.version()  # Corresponding cuDNN version
torch.cuda.get_device_name(0)   # GPU type

更新PyTorch

PyTorch 将被安装在 anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/torch/目录下。

1
conda update pytorch torchvision -c pytorch

固定随机种子

1
2
torch.manual_seed(0)
torch.cuda.manual_seed_all(0)

指定程序 运行在特定GPU卡上

在命令行指定环境变量

1
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python train.py

或在代码中指定

1
os.environ['CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES'] = '0,1'

判断是否有 CUDA 支持

1
torch.cuda.is_available()

设置为 cuDNN benchmark 模式

Benchmark 模式会提升计算速度，但是由于计算中有随机性，每次网络前馈结果略有差异。

1
torch.backends.cudnn.benchmark = True

如果想要避免这种结果波动，设置

1
torch.backends.cudnn.deterministic = True

清除 GPU 存储

有时 Control-C 中止运行后 GPU 存储没有及时释放，需要手动清空。在 PyTorch 内部可以

1
torch.cuda.empty_cache()

或在命令行可以先使用 ps 找到程序的 PID，再使用 kill 结束该进程

1
ps aux | grep pythonkill -9 [pid]

或者直接重置没有被清空的 GPU

1
nvidia-smi --gpu-reset -i [gpu_id]

张量处理

张量基本信息

1
2
3
tensor.type()   # Data type
tensor.size()   # Shape of the tensor. It is a subclass of Python tuple
tensor.dim()    # Number of dimensions.

数据类型转换

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
# Set default tensor type. Float in PyTorch is much faster than double.
torch.set_default_tensor_type(torch.FloatTensor)

# Type convertions.
tensor = tensor.cuda()
tensor = tensor.cpu()
tensor = tensor.float()
tensor = tensor.long()

torch.Tensor 与 np.ndarray 转换

1
2
3
4
5
6
# torch.Tensor -> np.ndarray.
ndarray = tensor.cpu().numpy()

# np.ndarray -> torch.Tensor.
tensor = torch.from_numpy(ndarray).float()
tensor = torch.from_numpy(ndarray.copy()).float()  # If ndarray has negative stride

torch.Tensor 与 PIL.Image 转换

PyTorch 中的张量默认采用 N×D×H×W 的顺序，并且数据范围在 [0, 1]，需要进行转置和规范化。

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
# torch.Tensor -> PIL.Image.
image = PIL.Image.fromarray(torch.clamp(tensor * 255, min=0, max=255
    ).byte().permute(1, 2, 0).cpu().numpy())
image = torchvision.transforms.functional.to_pil_image(tensor)  # Equivalently way

# PIL.Image -> torch.Tensor.
tensor = torch.from_numpy(np.asarray(PIL.Image.open(path))
    ).permute(2, 0, 1).float() / 255
tensor = torchvision.transforms.functional.to_tensor(PIL.Image.open(path))  # Equivalently way

np.ndarray 与 PIL.Image 转换

1
2
3
4
5
# np.ndarray -> PIL.Image.
image = PIL.Image.fromarray(ndarray.astypde(np.uint8))

# PIL.Image -> np.ndarray.
ndarray = np.asarray(PIL.Image.open(path))

从只包含一个元素的张量中提取值

这在训练时统计 loss 的变化过程中特别有用。否则这将累积计算图，使 GPU 存储占用量越来越大。

1
value = tensor.item()

张量形变

张量形变常常需要用于将卷积层特征输入全连接层的情形。相比 torch.view，torch.reshape 可以自动处理输入张量不连续的情况。

1
tensor = torch.reshape(tensor, shape)

打乱顺序

1
tensor = tensor[torch.randperm(tensor.size(0))]  # Shuffle the first dimension

水平翻转

PyTorch 不支持 tensor[::-1] 这样的负步长操作，水平翻转可以用张量索引实现。

1
# Assume tensor has shape N*D*H*W.tensor = tensor[:, :, :, torch.arange(tensor.size(3) - 1, -1, -1).long()]

复制张量

有三种复制的方式，对应不同的需求。

1
2
3
4
# Operation                 |  New/Shared memory | Still in computation graph |
tensor.clone()            # |        New         |          Yes               |
tensor.detach()           # |      Shared        |          No                |
tensor.detach.clone()()   # |        New         |          No                |

拼接张量

注意 torch.cat 和 torch.stack 的区别在于 torch.cat 沿着给定的维度拼接，而 torch.stack 会新增一维。例如当参数是 3 个 10×5 的张量，torch.cat 的结果是 30×5 的张量，而 torch.stack 的结果是 3×10×5 的张量。

1
2
tensor = torch.cat(list_of_tensors, dim=0)
tensor = torch.stack(list_of_tensors, dim=0)

将整数标记转换成独热（one-hot）编码

PyTorch 中的标记默认从 0 开始。

1
2
3
N = tensor.size(0)
one_hot = torch.zeros(N, num_classes).long()
one_hot.scatter_(dim=1, index=torch.unsqueeze(tensor, dim=1), src=torch.ones(N, num_classes).long())

得到非零/零元素

1
2
3
4
torch.nonzero(tensor)               # Index of non-zero elements
torch.nonzero(tensor == 0)          # Index of zero elements
torch.nonzero(tensor).size(0)       # Number of non-zero elements
torch.nonzero(tensor == 0).size(0)  # Number of zero elements

张量扩展

1
2
# Expand tensor of shape 64*512 to shape 64*512*7*7.
torch.reshape(tensor, (64, 512, 1, 1)).expand(64, 512, 7, 7)

矩阵乘法

1

5

7
8
# Matrix multiplication: (m*n) * (n*p) -> (m*p).
result = torch.mm(tensor1, tensor2)

# Batch matrix multiplication: (b*m*n) * (b*n*p) -> (b*m*p).
result = torch.bmm(tensor1, tensor2)

# Element-wise multiplication.
result = tensor1 * tensor2

计算两组数据之间的两两欧式距离

1

3
4
5
6
# X1 is of shape m*d.
X1 = torch.unsqueeze(X1, dim=1).expand(m, n, d)
# X2 is of shape n*d.
X2 = torch.unsqueeze(X2, dim=0).expand(m, n, d)
# dist is of shape m*n, where dist[i][j] = sqrt(|X1[i, :] - X[j, :]|^2)
dist = torch.sqrt(torch.sum((X1 - X2) ** 2, dim=2))

模型定义

卷积层

最常用的卷积层配置是

1
conv = torch.nn.Conv2d(in_channels, out_channels, kernel_size=3, stride=1, padding=1, bias=True)conv = torch.nn.Conv2d(in_channels, out_channels, kernel_size=1, stride=1, padding=0, bias=True)

如果卷积层配置比较复杂，不方便计算输出大小时，可以利用如下可视化工具辅助

链接：https://ezyang.github.io/convolution-visualizer/index.html

0GAP（Global average pooling）层

1
gap = torch.nn.AdaptiveAvgPool2d(output_size=1)

双线性汇合（bilinear pooling）

1
2
3
4
5
6
X = torch.reshape(N, D, H * W)                        # Assume X has shape N*D*H*W
X = torch.bmm(X, torch.transpose(X, 1, 2)) / (H * W)  # Bilinear pooling
assert X.size() == (N, D, D)
X = torch.reshape(X, (N, D * D))
X = torch.sign(X) * torch.sqrt(torch.abs(X) + 1e-5)   # Signed-sqrt normalization
X = torch.nn.functional.normalize(X)                  # L2 normalization

多卡同步 BN（Batch normalization）

当使用 torch.nn.DataParallel 将代码运行在多张 GPU 卡上时，PyTorch 的 BN 层默认操作是各卡上数据独立地计算均值和标准差，同步 BN 使用所有卡上的数据一起计算 BN 层的均值和标准差，缓解了当批量大小（batch size）比较小时对均值和标准差估计不准的情况，是在目标检测等任务中一个有效的提升性能的技巧。

类似 BN 滑动平均

如果要实现类似 BN 滑动平均的操作，在 forward 函数中要使用原地（inplace）操作给滑动平均赋值。

1

4
5

8
class BN(torch.nn.Module)
    def __init__(self):
        ...
        self.register_buffer('running_mean', torch.zeros(num_features))

    def forward(self, X):
        ...
        self.running_mean += momentum * (current - self.running_mean)

计算模型整体参数量

1
num_parameters = sum(torch.numel(parameter) for parameter in model.parameters())

类似 Keras 的 model.summary() 输出模型信息

链接：https://github.com/sksq96/pytorch-summary

模型权值初始化

注意model.modules() 和model.children() 的区别：model.modules() 会迭代地遍历模型的所有子层，而 model.children() 只会遍历模型下的一层。

# Common practise for initialization.
for layer in model.modules():
    if isinstance(layer, torch.nn.Conv2d):
        torch.nn.init.kaiming_normal_(layer.weight, mode='fan_out',
                                      nonlinearity='relu')
        if layer.bias is not None:
            torch.nn.init.constant_(layer.bias, val=0.0)
    elif isinstance(layer, torch.nn.BatchNorm2d):
        torch.nn.init.constant_(layer.weight, val=1.0)
        torch.nn.init.constant_(layer.bias, val=0.0)
    elif isinstance(layer, torch.nn.Linear):
        torch.nn.init.xavier_normal_(layer.weight)
        if layer.bias is not None:
            torch.nn.init.constant_(layer.bias, val=0.0)

# Initialization with given tensor.
layer.weight = torch.nn.Parameter(tensor)

部分层使用预训练模型

注意如果保存的模型是 torch.nn.DataParallel，则当前的模型也需要是

1
model.load_state_dict(torch.load('model,pth'), strict=False)

将在 GPU 保存的模型加载到 CPU

1
model.load_state_dict(torch.load('model,pth', map_location='cpu'))

保存与加载断点

注意为了能够恢复训练，我们需要同时保存模型和优化器的状态，以及当前的训练轮数。

PyTorch 其他注意事项

模型定义部分

  • 建议有参数的层和汇合（pooling）层使用 torch.nn 模块定义，激活函数直接使用 torch.nn.functional。

  • torch.nn 模块和 torch.nn.functional 的区别在于，torch.nn 模块在计算时底层调用了 torch.nn.functional，但 torch.nn 模块包括该层参数，还可以应对训练和测试两种网络状态。使用 torch.nn.functional 时要注意网络状态，如

2
3
def forward(self, x):
    ...
    x = torch.nn.functional.dropout(x, p=0.5, training=self.training)
  • model(x) 前用 model.train() 和 model.eval() 切换网络状态。
  • 不需要计算梯度的代码块用 with torch.no_grad() 包含起来。model.eval() 和 torch.no_grad() 的区别在于，model.eval() 是将网络切换为测试状态，例如 BN 和随机失活（dropout）在训练和测试阶段使用不同的计算方法。torch.no_grad() 是关闭 PyTorch 张量的自动求导机制，以减少存储使用和加速计算，得到的结果无法进行 loss.backward()。
  • torch.nn.CrossEntropyLoss 的输入不需要经过 Softmax。torch.nn.CrossEntropyLoss 等价于 torch.nn.functional.log_softmax + torch.nn.NLLLoss。
  • loss.backward() 前用 optimizer.zero_grad() 清除累积梯度。optimizer.zero_grad() 和 model.zero_grad() 效果一样。

性能与调试部分

  • torch.utils.data.DataLoader 中尽量设置 pin_memory=True，对特别小的数据集如 MNIST 设置 pin_memory=False 反而更快一些。num_workers 的设置需要在实验中找到最快的取值。
  • 用 del 及时删除不用的中间变量，节约 GPU 存储。
  • 使用 inplace 操作可节约 GPU 存储，如
1
x = torch.nn.functional.relu(x, inplace=True)
  • 减少 CPU 和 GPU 之间的数据传输。例如如果你想知道一个 epoch 中每个 mini-batch 的 loss 和准确率，先将它们累积在 GPU 中等一个 epoch 结束之后一起传输回 CPU 会比每个 mini-batch 都进行一次 GPU 到 CPU 的传输更快。
  • 使用半精度浮点数 half() 会有一定的速度提升，具体效率依赖于 GPU 型号。需要小心数值精度过低带来的稳定性问题。
  • 时常使用 assert tensor.size() == (N, D, H, W) 作为调试手段，确保张量维度和你设想中一致。
  • 除了标记 y 外，尽量少使用一维张量，使用 n*1 的二维张量代替，可以避免一些意想不到的一维张量计算结果。
  • 统计代码各部分耗时

with torch.autograd.profiler.profile(enabled=True, use_cuda=False) as profile:
    ...
print(profile)

或者在命令行运行
