MNIST Classification using Neural ODEs

To understand Neural ODEs, users should look up these lecture notes. We recommend users to directly use DiffEqFlux.jl, instead of implementing Neural ODEs from scratch.

Package Imports

using Lux, ComponentArrays, SciMLSensitivity, LuxCUDA, Optimisers, OrdinaryDiffEqTsit5,
      Random, Statistics, Zygote, OneHotArrays, InteractiveUtils, Printf
using MLDatasets: MNIST
using MLUtils: DataLoader, splitobs

CUDA.allowscalar(false)

Loading MNIST

function loadmnist(batchsize, train_split)
    # Load MNIST: Only 1500 for demonstration purposes
    N = 1500
    dataset = MNIST(; split=:train)
    imgs = dataset.features[:, :, 1:N]
    labels_raw = dataset.targets[1:N]

    # Process images into (H,W,C,BS) batches
    x_data = Float32.(reshape(imgs, size(imgs, 1), size(imgs, 2), 1, size(imgs, 3)))
    y_data = onehotbatch(labels_raw, 0:9)
    (x_train, y_train), (x_test, y_test) = splitobs((x_data, y_data); at=train_split)

    return (
        # Use DataLoader to automatically minibatch and shuffle the data
        DataLoader(collect.((x_train, y_train)); batchsize, shuffle=true),
        # Don't shuffle the test data
        DataLoader(collect.((x_test, y_test)); batchsize, shuffle=false))
end

Define the Neural ODE Layer

First we will use the @compact macro to define the Neural ODE Layer.

function NeuralODECompact(
        model::Lux.AbstractLuxLayer; solver=Tsit5(), tspan=(0.0f0, 1.0f0), kwargs...)
    return @compact(; model, solver, tspan, kwargs...) do x, p
        dudt(u, p, t) = vec(model(reshape(u, size(x)), p))
        # Note the `p.model` here
        prob = ODEProblem(ODEFunction{false}(dudt), vec(x), tspan, p.model)
        @return solve(prob, solver; kwargs...)
    end
end

NeuralODECompact (generic function with 1 method)

We recommend using the compact macro for creating custom layers. The below implementation exists mostly for historical reasons when @compact was not part of the stable API. Also, it helps users understand how the layer interface of Lux works.

The NeuralODE is a ContainerLayer, which stores a model. The parameters and states of the NeuralODE are same as those of the underlying model.

struct NeuralODE{M <: Lux.AbstractLuxLayer, So, T, K} <: Lux.AbstractLuxWrapperLayer{:model}
    model::M
    solver::So
    tspan::T
    kwargs::K
end

function NeuralODE(
        model::Lux.AbstractLuxLayer; solver=Tsit5(), tspan=(0.0f0, 1.0f0), kwargs...)
    return NeuralODE(model, solver, tspan, kwargs)
end

Main.var"##225".NeuralODE

OrdinaryDiffEq.jl can deal with non-Vector Inputs! However, certain discrete sensitivities like ReverseDiffAdjoint can't handle non-Vector inputs. Hence, we need to convert the input and output of the ODE solver to a Vector.

function (n::NeuralODE)(x, ps, st)
    function dudt(u, p, t)
        u_, st = n.model(reshape(u, size(x)), p, st)
        return vec(u_)
    end
    prob = ODEProblem{false}(ODEFunction{false}(dudt), vec(x), n.tspan, ps)
    return solve(prob, n.solver; n.kwargs...), st
end

@views diffeqsol_to_array(l::Int, x::ODESolution) = reshape(last(x.u), (l, :))
@views diffeqsol_to_array(l::Int, x::AbstractMatrix) = reshape(x[:, end], (l, :))

diffeqsol_to_array (generic function with 2 methods)

Create and Initialize the Neural ODE Layer

function create_model(model_fn=NeuralODE; dev=gpu_device(), use_named_tuple::Bool=false,
        sensealg=InterpolatingAdjoint(; autojacvec=ZygoteVJP()))
    # Construct the Neural ODE Model
    model = Chain(FlattenLayer(),
        Dense(784 => 20, tanh),
        model_fn(
            Chain(Dense(20 => 10, tanh), Dense(10 => 10, tanh), Dense(10 => 20, tanh));
            save_everystep=false, reltol=1.0f-3,
            abstol=1.0f-3, save_start=false, sensealg),
        Base.Fix1(diffeqsol_to_array, 20),
        Dense(20 => 10))

    rng = Random.default_rng()
    Random.seed!(rng, 0)

    ps, st = Lux.setup(rng, model)
    ps = (use_named_tuple ? ps : ComponentArray(ps)) |> dev
    st = st |> dev

    return model, ps, st
end

Define Utility Functions

const logitcrossentropy = CrossEntropyLoss(; logits=Val(true))

function accuracy(model, ps, st, dataloader)
    total_correct, total = 0, 0
    st = Lux.testmode(st)
    for (x, y) in dataloader
        target_class = onecold(y)
        predicted_class = onecold(first(model(x, ps, st)))
        total_correct += sum(target_class .== predicted_class)
        total += length(target_class)
    end
    return total_correct / total
end

Training

function train(model_function; cpu::Bool=false, kwargs...)
    dev = cpu ? cpu_device() : gpu_device()
    model, ps, st = create_model(model_function; dev, kwargs...)

    # Training
    train_dataloader, test_dataloader = loadmnist(128, 0.9) |> dev

    tstate = Training.TrainState(model, ps, st, Adam(0.001f0))

    ### Lets train the model
    nepochs = 9
    for epoch in 1:nepochs
        stime = time()
        for (x, y) in train_dataloader
            _, _, _, tstate = Training.single_train_step!(
                AutoZygote(), logitcrossentropy, (x, y), tstate)
        end
        ttime = time() - stime

        tr_acc = accuracy(model, tstate.parameters, tstate.states, train_dataloader) * 100
        te_acc = accuracy(model, tstate.parameters, tstate.states, test_dataloader) * 100
        @printf "[%d/%d]\tTime %.4fs\tTraining Accuracy: %.5f%%\tTest \

We can also change the sensealg and train the model! GaussAdjoint allows you to use any arbitrary parameter structure and not just a flat vector (ComponentArray).

But remember some AD backends like ReverseDiff is not GPU compatible. For a model this size, you will notice that training time is significantly lower for training on CPU than on GPU.

Alternate Implementation using Stateful Layer

Starting v0.5.5, Lux provides a StatefulLuxLayer which can be used to avoid the Boxing of st. Using the @compact API avoids this problem entirely.

struct StatefulNeuralODE{M <: Lux.AbstractLuxLayer, So, T, K} <:
       Lux.AbstractLuxWrapperLayer{:model}
    model::M
    solver::So
    tspan::T
    kwargs::K
end

function StatefulNeuralODE(
        model::Lux.AbstractLuxLayer; solver=Tsit5(), tspan=(0.0f0, 1.0f0), kwargs...)
    return StatefulNeuralODE(model, solver, tspan, kwargs)
end

function (n::StatefulNeuralODE)(x, ps, st)
    st_model = StatefulLuxLayer{true}(n.model, ps, st)
    dudt(u, p, t) = st_model(u, p)
    prob = ODEProblem{false}(ODEFunction{false}(dudt), x, n.tspan, ps)
    return solve(prob, n.solver; n.kwargs...), st_model.st
end

We might not see a significant difference in the training time, but let us investigate the type stabilities of the layers.

Type Stability

model, ps, st = create_model(NeuralODE)

model_stateful, ps_stateful, st_stateful = create_model(StatefulNeuralODE)

x = gpu_device()(ones(Float32, 28, 28, 1, 3));

NeuralODE is not type stable due to the boxing of st
