DenseNet with TensorFlow

Two types of Densely Connected Convolutional Networks (DenseNets) are available:

  • DenseNet - without bottleneck layers
  • DenseNet-BC - with bottleneck layers

Each model can be tested on such datasets:

  • Cifar10
  • Cifar10+ (with data augmentation)
  • Cifar100
  • Cifar100+ (with data augmentation)
  • SVHN

A number of layers, blocks, growth rate, image normalization and other training params may be changed trough shell or inside the source code.

Example run:

python run_dense_net.py --train --test --dataset=C10

List all available options:

python run_dense_net.py --help

There are also many other implementations - they may be useful also.

Test run

Test results on various datasets. Image normalization per channels was used. Results reported in paper provided in parenthesis. For Cifar+ datasets image normalization was performed before augmentation. This may cause a little bit lower results than reported in paper.

Model type Depth C10 C10+ C100 C100+
DenseNet(k = 12) 40 6.67(7.00) 5.44(5.24) 27.44(27.55) 25.87(24.42)
DenseNet-BC(k = 12) 100 5.54(5.92) 4.87(4.51) 24.88(24.15) 22.85(22.27)

Approximate training time for models on GeForce GTX TITAN X GM200 (12 GB memory):

  • DenseNet(k = 12, d = 40) - 17 hrs
  • DenseNet-BC(k = 12, d = 100) - 1 day 18 hrs

Difference compared to the original implementation

The existing model should use identical hyperparameters to the original code. If you note some errors - please open an issue.

Also it may be useful to check my blog post Notes on the implementation DenseNet in tensorflow.

Dependencies

  • Model was tested with Python 3.4.3+ and Python 3.5.2 with and without CUDA.
  • Model should work as expected with TensorFlow >= 0.10. Tensorflow 1.0 support was recently included.

Repo supported with requirements file - so the easiest way to install all just run pip install -r requirements.txt.
