Training a HyperNetwork on MNIST and FashionMNIST

Package Imports

julia
using Lux, ADTypes, ComponentArrays, LuxCUDA, MLDatasets, MLUtils, OneHotArrays, Optimisers,
      Printf, Random, Setfield, Statistics, Zygote

CUDA.allowscalar(false)

Loading Datasets

julia
function load_dataset(::Type{dset}, n_train::Int, n_eval::Int, batchsize::Int) where {dset}
    imgs, labels = dset(:train)[1:n_train]
    x_train, y_train = reshape(imgs, 28, 28, 1, n_train), onehotbatch(labels, 0:9)

    imgs, labels = dset(:test)[1:n_eval]
    x_test, y_test = reshape(imgs, 28, 28, 1, n_eval), onehotbatch(labels, 0:9)

    return (
        DataLoader((x_train, y_train); batchsize=min(batchsize, n_train), shuffle=true),
        DataLoader((x_test, y_test); batchsize=min(batchsize, n_eval), shuffle=false))
end

function load_datasets(n_train=1024, n_eval=32, batchsize=256)
    return load_dataset.((MNIST, FashionMNIST), n_train, n_eval, batchsize)
end

Implement a HyperNet Layer

julia
function HyperNet(
        weight_generator::Lux.AbstractLuxLayer, core_network::Lux.AbstractLuxLayer)
    ca_axes = Lux.initialparameters(Random.default_rng(), core_network) |>
              ComponentArray |>
              getaxes
    return @compact(; ca_axes, weight_generator, core_network, dispatch=:HyperNet) do (x, y)
        # Generate the weights
        ps_new = ComponentArray(vec(weight_generator(x)), ca_axes)
        @return core_network(y, ps_new)
    end
end
HyperNet (generic function with 1 method)

Defining functions on the CompactLuxLayer requires some understanding of how the layer is structured, as such we don't recommend doing it unless you are familiar with the internals. In this case, we simply write it to ignore the initialization of the core_network parameters.

julia
function Lux.initialparameters(rng::AbstractRNG, hn::CompactLuxLayer{:HyperNet})
    return (; weight_generator=Lux.initialparameters(rng, hn.layers.weight_generator),)
end

Create and Initialize the HyperNet

julia
function create_model()
    # Doesn't need to be a MLP can have any Lux Layer
    core_network = Chain(FlattenLayer(), Dense(784, 256, relu), Dense(256, 10))
    weight_generator = Chain(Embedding(2 => 32), Dense(32, 64, relu),
        Dense(64, Lux.parameterlength(core_network)))

    model = HyperNet(weight_generator, core_network)
    return model
end
create_model (generic function with 1 method)

Define Utility Functions

julia
const loss = CrossEntropyLoss(; logits=Val(true))

function accuracy(model, ps, st, dataloader, data_idx)
    total_correct, total = 0, 0
    st = Lux.testmode(st)
    for (x, y) in dataloader
        target_class = onecold(y)
        predicted_class = onecold(first(model((data_idx, x), ps, st)))
        total_correct += sum(target_class .== predicted_class)
        total += length(target_class)
    end
    return total_correct / total
end
accuracy (generic function with 1 method)

Training

julia
function train()
    model = create_model()
    dataloaders = load_datasets()

    dev = gpu_device()
    rng = Xoshiro(0)
    ps, st = Lux.setup(rng, model) |> dev
