PyTorch随笔 - ConvMixer - Patches Are All You Need

2022.1.24，ICLR 2022，Paper：Patches Are All You Need，即ConvMixer，卷积混合，在很多实验上，都取得很多效果。

Conv2d：

• stride，窗口移动的步长，向左、向下

• padding，填充，residual设置为same

• dilation，膨胀、空洞，扩大范围的点，跳过一些点，选择一些点，增加感受野，不增加计算量

• groups，解耦通道之间混合，降低计算，只混合部分通道，例如Depth-wise Convolution，再接一个Point-wise Convolution

Patches + Conv 代替 ViT，用patch代替像素点，Swin-Transformer效果最好

ViT：Transformer？Patch？

ViT + MLP-Mixer -> ConvMixer，以图像的patch作为输入，空间混合和通道混合分离

源码：https://github.com/locuslab/convmixer

网络结构：输入与输出一致，没有做下采样

• ConvMixer Layer写的非常Trick！
• Patch Embedding：nn.Conv2d(3, h, patch_size, stride=patch_size)
• Depthwise-Convolution：nn.Conv2d(h, h, kernel_size, groups=h, padding=“same”)
• Pointwise-Convolution：nn.Conv2d(h, h, 1)
• nn.Flatten()，向量展开
• nn.Linear(h, n_classes)，FC层

Patch Embeddings：通过kernel_size和stride都是p

GELU：Gaussian Error Linear Units，高斯错误线性单元，用于GPT-3，BERT

• GELUs are used in GPT-3, BERT, and most other Transformers.

函数：

erf(x)：error function，误差函数

效果：We name ConvMixers after their hidden dimension and depth, like ConvMixer-h/d

• h是hidden dimension，即输出channel数，d是depth，即ConvMixer Layer的层数

conv2d对比depthwise+pointwise的参数量：

import torch
import torch.nn as nn
conv_general = nn.Conv2d(3, 3, 3, padding="same")

subconv_space_mixing = nn.Conv2d(3, 3, 3, groups=3, padding="same")  # Depth-wise
subconv_channel_mixing = nn.Conv2d(3, 3, 1)  # Point-wise

for p in conv_general.parameters():
    print(p.size(), torch.numel(p))  # weight 3x3x[3x3] = 81, bias = 3

for p in subconv_space_mixing.parameters():
    print(p.size(), torch.numel(p))  # weight 3x1x[3x3] = 27, bias = 3

for p in subconv_channel_mixing.parameters():
    print(p.size(), torch.numel(p))  # weight 3x3x[1x1] = 9, bias = 3
    
# 84 -> 27+3+9+3 = 42，参数量降低一半
