Updates

09/29/2022

SimMIM was merged to Swin Transformer repo on GitHub.

03/02/2022

SimMIM got accepted by CVPR 2022. SimMIM was used in "Swin Transformer V2" to alleviate the data hungry problem for large-scale vision model training.

Initial commits:

  1. Pre-trained and fine-tuned models on ImageNet-1K (Swin Base, Swin Large, and ViT Base) are provided.
  2. The supported code for ImageNet-1K pre-training and fine-tuneing is provided.

Introduction

SimMIM is initially described in arxiv, which serves as a simple framework for masked image modeling. From systematically study, we find that simple designs of each component have revealed very strong representation learning performance: 1) random masking of the input image with a moderately large masked patch size (e.g., 32) makes a strong pre-text task; 2) predicting raw pixels of RGB values by direct regression performs no worse than the patch classification approaches with complex designs; 3) the prediction head can be as light as a linear layer, with no worse performance than heavier ones.

Evaluating provided models

To evaluate a provided model on ImageNet validation set, run:

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node <num-of-gpus-to-use> main_finetune.py \
--eval --cfg <config-file> --resume <checkpoint> --data-path <imagenet-path>

For example, to evaluate the Swin Base model on a single GPU, run:

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node 1 main_finetune.py \
--eval --cfg configs/swin_base__800ep/simmim_finetune__swin_base__img224_window7__800ep.yaml --resume simmim_finetune__swin_base__img224_window7__800ep.pth --data-path <imagenet-path>

Pre-training with SimMIM

To pre-train models with SimMIM, run:

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node <num-of-gpus-to-use> main_simmim.py \ 
--cfg <config-file> --data-path <imagenet-path>/train [--batch-size <batch-size-per-gpu> --output <output-directory> --tag <job-tag>]

For example, to pre-train Swin Base for 800 epochs on one DGX-2 server, run:

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node 16 main_simmim.py \ 
--cfg configs/swin_base__800ep/simmim_pretrain__swin_base__img192_window6__800ep.yaml --batch-size 128 --data-path <imagenet-path>/train [--output <output-directory> --tag <job-tag>]

Fine-tuning pre-trained models

To fine-tune models pre-trained by SimMIM, run:

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node <num-of-gpus-to-use> main_finetune.py \ 
--cfg <config-file> --data-path <imagenet-path> --pretrained <pretrained-ckpt> [--batch-size <batch-size-per-gpu> --output <output-directory> --tag <job-tag>]

For example, to fine-tune Swin Base pre-trained by SimMIM on one DGX-2 server, run:

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node 16 main_finetune.py \ 
--cfg configs/swin_base__800ep/simmim_finetune__swin_base__img224_window7__800ep.yaml --batch-size 128 --data-path <imagenet-path> --pretrained <pretrained-ckpt> [--output <output-directory> --tag <job-tag>]
