Width and Depth Pruning for Vision Transformers

This is the official implementation of the AAAI 2022 paper [Width and Depth Pruning for Vision Transformers] (https://www.aaai.org/AAAI22Papers/AAAI-2102.FangYu.pdf)

Installation

Requirements

• torch>=1.8.0
• torchvision>=0.9.0

Demo

Training on ImageNet

To train DeiT models on ImageNet, run:

DeiT-Base

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=8 --master_port 29500 --use_env main_wdpruning.py --arch deit_base --data-set IMNET --batch-size 128 --data-path ../data/ILSVRC2012/ --output_dir logs --classifier 10 --R_threshold 0.8

Training on CIFAR-10

To train DeiT models on CIFAR-10, run:

Pruning width and depth for DeiT-Base

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=2 --master_port 29566 --use_env main_wdpruning.py --arch deit_base --data-set CIFAR10 --batch-size 128 --data-path ../data/ --output_dir logs/cifar --classifiers 10 

Only pruning width for DeiT-Base

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=2 --master_port 29566 --use_env main_wdpruning.py --arch deit_base --data-set CIFAR10 --batch-size 128 --data-path ../data/ --output_dir logs/cifar

Pruning and Evaluation

Test the amout of parameters, GPU throughput of pruned transformer.

python masked_parameter_count.py --arch deit_base --pretrained_dir logs/checkpoint.pth --eval_batch_size 1024 --classifiers 10 --classifier_choose 10

Note that '--classifier_choose' means choose which classifier to prune. '--classifier_choose 12' means choose the last classifier.

Test the amout of parameters, CPU latency of pruned transformer.

python masked_parameter_count.py --arch deit_base --pretrained_dir logs/checkpoint.pth --no_cuda --eval_batch_size 1  --classifiers 10
