DropBlock implementation example

Hi,

I hava a basic classifier fo predict MNIST digits as below:

class LeNet_dropout(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super(LeNet_dropout, self).__init__()
        self.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(1, 10, kernel_size=3)
        self.conv2 = nn.Conv2d(10, 20, kernel_size=3)
        self.fc1 = nn.Linear(2880, 128)
        self.fc2 = nn.Linear(128, 10)
        self.drop_layer = nn.Dropout(p=0.5)

    def last_hidden_layer_output(self, x):

        x = F.relu(self.conv1(x))
        x = F.max_pool2d(self.drop_layer(F.relu(self.conv2(x))), 2)
        x = x.view(-1, 2880)
        x = self.drop_layer(F.relu(self.fc1(x)))
        return x

    def forward(self, x):

        x = self.last_hidden_layer_output(x)
        x = self.fc2(x)
        return x

When I want to enable dropout, I simple pass my model to enable_dropout method as below:

def enable_dropout(model):
    for m in model.modules():
        if m.__class__.__name__.startswith('Dropout'):
            m.train()

My question is: I want to use “DropBlock” in the second Conv layer instead of normal dropout. I am not sure if there is a built-in pytorch functionality for DropBlock operation.

Can somebody help me on this?

Best Regards…

There seem to be a few PyTorch implementations on GitHub.

Thanks for your help!
