Overview

Can we aggressively trim down the complexity of pre-trained models, without damaging their downstream transferability?

Transfer Learning for Winning Tickets from Supervised and Self-supervised Pre-training

Downstream classification tasks.

Downstream detection and segmentation tasks.

Properties of Pre-training Tickets

Reproduce

Preliminary

Required environment:

• pytorch >= 1.5.0
• torchvision

Pre-trained Models

Pre-trained models are provided here.

imagenet_weight.pt # torchvision std model

moco.pt # pretrained moco v2 model (only contain encorder_q)

moco_v2_800ep_pretrain.pth.tar # pretrained moco v2 model (contain encorder_q&k)

simclr_weight.pt # (pretrained_simclr weight)

Task-Specific Tickets Finding

Remark. for both pre-training tasks and downstream tasks.

	--pruning_times 19 \
	--prune_type [lt, pt, rewind_lt, pt_trans] \
	--save_dir imp_downstream \
	# --pretrained [pretrained weight if prune_type==pt_trans] \
	# --random_prune [if using random pruning] \
    # --rewind_epoch [rewind weight epoch if prune_type==rewind_lt] \

Transfer to Downstream Tasks

Small datasets: (e.g., CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, SVHN, Fashion-MNIST)

	--arch resnet50 \
	--save_dir [save_direction] \
	--pretrained [init weight] \
	--dict_key state_dict [ dict_key in pretrained file, None means load all ] \
	--mask_dir [mask for ticket] \
	--reverse_mask \ #if want to reverse mask
