当然除了这十条，肯定还有其他“必知”，
欢迎评论分享更多，这里只是暂时拟定的十条，别较真哈。
主要学习其中的思路，切记，以下思路在个别场景并不适用 。
1.数据回流
[1907.05550] Faster Neural Network Training with Data Echoing
def data_echoing(factor):
return lambda image, label: tf.data.Dataset.from_tensors((image, label)).repeat(factor)
作用:
数据集加载后，在数据增广前后重复当前批次进模型的次数，减少数据的加载耗时。
等价于让模型看n次当前的数据，或者看n个增广后的数据样本。
2.AMP 自动精度混合
在bert4keras中使用混合精度和XLA加速训练 - 科学空间|Scientific Spaces
tf.config.optimizer.set_experimental_options({"auto_mixed_precision": True})
作用:
降低显存占用，加速训练，将部分网络计算转为等价的低精度计算，以此降低计算量。
3.优化器节省显存
3.1 [1804.04235]Adafactor: Adaptive Learning Rates with Sublinear Memory Cost
mesh/optimize.py at master · tensorflow/mesh · GitHub
3.2 [1901.11150] Memory-Efficient Adaptive Optimization
google-research/sm3 at master · google-research/google-research (github.com)
作用:
节省显存，加速训练，
主要是对二阶动量进行特例化解构，减少显存存储。
4.权重标准化(归一化)
[2102.06171] High-Performance Large-Scale Image Recognition Without Normalization
deepmind-research/nfnets at master · deepmind/deepmind-research · GitHub
class WSConv2D(tf.keras.layers.Conv2D):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(WSConv2D, self).__init__(
kernel_initializer=tf.keras.initializers.VarianceScaling(
scale=1.0, mode='fan_in', distribution='untruncated_normal',
),
use_bias=False,
kernel_regularizer=tf.keras.regularizers.l2(1e-4), *args, **kwargs
)
self.gain = self.add_weight(
name='gain',
shape=(self.filters,),
initializer="ones",
trainable=True,
dtype=self.dtype
)
def standardize_weight(self, eps):
mean, var = tf.nn.moments(self.kernel, axes=[0, 1, 2], keepdims=True)
fan_in = np.prod(self.kernel.shape[:-1])
# Manually fused normalization, eq. to (w - mean) * gain / sqrt(N * var)
scale = tf.math.rsqrt(
tf.math.maximum(
var * fan_in,
tf.convert_to_tensor(eps, dtype=self.dtype)
)
) * self.gain
shift = mean * scale
return self.kernel * scale - shift
def call(self, inputs):
eps = 1e-4
weight = self.standardize_weight(eps)
return tf.nn.conv2d(
inputs, weight, strides=self.strides,
padding=self.padding.upper(), dilations=self.dilation_rate
) if self.bias is None else tf.nn.bias_add(
tf.nn.conv2d(
inputs, weight, strides=self.strides,
padding=self.padding.upper(), dilations=self.dilation_rate
), self.bias)
作用:
通过对kernel进行标准化或归一化，相当于对kernel做一个先验约束，以此加速模型训练收敛。
5.自适应梯度裁剪
deepmind-research/agc_optax.py at master · deepmind/deepmind-research · GitHub
def unitwise_norm(x):
if len(tf.squeeze(x).shape) <= 1: # Scalars and vectors
axis = None
keepdims = False
elif len(x.shape) in [2, 3]: # Linear layers of shape IO
axis = 0
keepdims = True
elif len(x.shape) == 4: # Conv kernels of shape HWIO
axis = [0, 1, 2, ]
keepdims = True
else:
raise ValueError(f'Got a parameter with shape not in [1, 2, 3, 4]! {x}')
square_sum = tf.reduce_sum(tf.square(x), axis, keepdims=keepdims)
return tf.sqrt(square_sum)
def gradient_clipping(grad, var):
clipping = 0.01
max_norm = tf.maximum(unitwise_norm(var), 1e-3) * clipping
grad_norm = unitwise_norm(grad)
trigger = (grad_norm > max_norm)
clipped_grad = (max_norm / tf.maximum(grad_norm, 1e-6))
return grad * tf.where(trigger, clipped_grad, tf.ones_like(clipped_grad))
作用:
防止梯度爆炸，稳定训练。通过梯度和参数的关系，对梯度进行裁剪，约束学习率。
6.recompute_grad
[1604.06174] Training Deep Nets with Sublinear Memory Cost
google-research/recompute_grad.py at master · google-research/google-research (github.com)
bojone/keras_recompute: saving memory by recomputing for keras (github.com)
作用:
通过梯度重计算，节省显存。
