Visual Prompt Tuning

https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.12119

This repository contains the official PyTorch implementation for Visual Prompt Tuning.

Environment settings

See env_setup.sh

Structure of the this repo (key files are marked with 👉):

• src/configs: handles config parameters for the experiments.

  • 👉 src/config/config.py: <u>main config setups for experiments and explanation for each of them. </u>

• src/data: loading and setup input datasets. The src/data/vtab_datasets are borrowed from

  VTAB github repo.

• src/engine: main training and eval actions here.

• src/models: handles backbone archs and heads for different fine-tuning protocols

  • 👉src/models/vit_prompt: <u>a folder contains the same backbones in vit_backbones folder,</u> specified for VPT. This folder should contain the same file names as those in vit_backbones

  • 👉 src/models/vit_models.py: <u>main model for transformer-based models</u> ❗️Note❗️: Current version only support ViT, Swin and ViT with mae, moco-v3

  • src/models/build_model.py: main action here to utilize the config and build the model to train / eval.

• src/solver: optimization, losses and learning rate schedules.

• src/utils: helper functions for io, loggings, training, visualizations.

• 👉train.py: call this one for training and eval a model with a specified transfer type.

• 👉tune_fgvc.py: call this one for tuning learning rate and weight decay for a model with a specified transfer type. We used this script for FGVC tasks.

• 👉tune_vtab.py: call this one for tuning vtab tasks: use 800/200 split to find the best lr and wd, and use the best lr/wd for the final runs

• launch.py: contains functions used to launch the job.

Experiments

Key configs:

• 🔥VPT related:
  • MODEL.PROMPT.NUM_TOKENS: prompt length
  • MODEL.PROMPT.DEEP: deep or shallow prompt
• Fine-tuning method specification:
  • MODEL.TRANSFER_TYPE
• Vision backbones:
  • DATA.FEATURE: specify which representation to use
  • MODEL.TYPE: the general backbone type, e.g., "vit" or "swin"
  • MODEL.MODEL_ROOT: folder with pre-trained model checkpoints
• Optimization related:
  • SOLVER.BASE_LR: learning rate for the experiment
  • SOLVER.WEIGHT_DECAY: weight decay value for the experiment
  • DATA.BATCH_SIZE
• Datasets related:
  • DATA.NAME
  • DATA.DATAPATH: where you put the datasets
  • DATA.NUMBER_CLASSES
• Others:
  • RUN_N_TIMES: ensure only run once in case for duplicated submision, not used during vtab runs
  • OUTPUT_DIR: output dir of the final model and logs
  • MODEL.SAVE_CKPT: if set to True, will save model ckpts and final output of both val and test set

Datasets preperation:

See Table 8 in the Appendix for dataset details.

• Fine-Grained Visual Classification tasks (FGVC): The datasets can be downloaded following the official links. We split the training data if the public validation set is not available. The splitted dataset can be found here: Dropbox, Google Drive.

  • CUB200 2011

  • NABirds

  • Oxford Flowers

  • Stanford Dogs

  • Stanford Cars

• Visual Task Adaptation Benchmark (VTAB): see VTAB_SETUP.md for detailed instructions and tips.

Pre-trained model preperation

Download and place the pre-trained Transformer-based backbones to MODEL.MODEL_ROOT (ConvNeXt-Base and ResNet50 would be automatically downloaded via the links in the code). Note that you also need to rename the downloaded ViT-B/16 ckpt from ViT-B_16.npz to imagenet21k_ViT-B_16.npz.

See Table 9 in the Appendix for more details about pre-trained backbones.

Examples for training and aggregating results

See demo.ipynb for how to use this repo.

Hyperparameters for experiments in paper

The hyperparameter values used (prompt length for VPT / reduction rate for Adapters, base learning rate, weight decay values) in Table 1-2, Fig. 3-4, Table 4-5 can be found here: Dropbox / Google Drive.
