Hi everybody,
I am replying to this topic since I am facing a similar problem to the one of @Probe, but his solution of using a custom collate function in the DataLoader is not working for me.
I have a recurrent autoencoder, of which I have to gauge the enconding capability, therefore my net is composed of two layers (code below):
- an encoding layer composed by the LSTM;
- a decoding layer, which is nothing but a dense layer that tries to reconstruct the input from the LSTM output.
class RnnLSTMAutoEncoder(nn.Module):
""" Rnn based on the LSTM model
Args:
input_length (int): input dimension
code_length (int): LSTM output dimension
num_layers (int): LSTM layers' number
"""
## Constructor
def __init__(self, input_length, code_length, num_layers=1):
super(RnnLSTMAutoEncoder, self).__init__()
# Attributes
self.input_length = input_length
self.code_length = code_length
self.num_layers = num_layers
# Nets
self.encodeLayer = nn.LSTM(self.input_length, self.code_length, num_layers=self.num_layers, batch_first=True)
self.decodeLayer = nn.Linear(self.code_length, self.input_length)
# Decode layer parameters' initialization
torch.nn.init.uniform_(self.decodeLayer.weight)
self.decodeLayer.bias = nn.Parameter(torch.zeros_like(self.decodeLayer.bias))
## Encode function
def encode(self, x):
# CODING
output, _ = self.encodeLayer(x)
return output
## Decode function
def decode(self, x):
# DECODING (linear dense layer followed by an activation function [identity in this case, so none])
x = self.decodeLayer(x)
return x
## Forward function
def forward(self, x):
encoded = self.encode(x)
if isinstance(encoded, torch.Tensor):
decoded = self.decode(encoded)
else:
unpacked, unpacked_length = nn.utils.rnn.pad_packed_sequence(encoded, batch_first=True)
vectors = list()
for i, vector in enumerate(unpacked):
vectors.append(unpacked[i, unpacked_length[i] - 1, :].view(1, -1))
decoded = self.decode(torch.cat(vectors, 0))
return decoded
Following Probe’s suggestion, I wrote my custom collate function as follows:
def my_collate(batch):
data = [item[0] for item in batch]
x = torch.stack(data)
# Lengths vector for the correct packing of the input
lengths = torch.zeros(x.size()[0])
for i in range(x.size()[0]):
for j in range(seq_length):
if sum(1 for k in x[i, j, :] if k != 0) == x.size()[2]:
lengths[i] += 1
# Both padded sequences and lengths should be ordered descendingly wrt to the sequence length
lengths, indices = torch.sort(lengths, descending=True)
lengths = lengths.type(torch.ByteTensor)
x = x[indices, :, :]
y = torch.zeros(train_batch_size, x.size()[2])
for i in range(train_batch_size):
seq_el_idx = lengths[i].item() - 1
y[i, :] = x[i, seq_el_idx, :]
# Packing the data
x = torch.nn.utils.rnn.pack_padded_sequence(x, lengths, batch_first=True)
return [x, y]
My dataset is made of vectors of features extracted from video frames, so what I give to the LSTM is a sequence of vectors that from step t goes back in time till step t-seq_length.
Obviously, for the first time steps (for example 1, the first video frame), I have nothing that goes back in time. Thus, I wrote a custom Dataset class which in this case fills the sequence with zeros till it reaches seq_length, while my collate function converts it in a PackedSequence object (the x element returned in the batch).
For evaluating the net’s perfomance instead, I just need to compute the loss between the last element of the sequence (rearranged in the y element returned in the batch), and the last element of the packed sequence I receive as output.
As Probe did in his code, with the custom collate function the DataLoader gives packedSequences as inputs to the autoencoder, while the padding of the output of the LSTM is handled in the forward function.
Everything works fine, but nonetheless my code is not running on the GPU.
I have debugged my code with PyCharm, and everything seems to be on the GPU: the input sequences, the LSTM output, the final autoencoder output, etc…, and in fact I can see the data uploaded to the GPU memory, but still, the whole training procedure takes place on the CPU.
I am currently managing the whole training procedure with Ignite, and my training code is the following:
## Data loader helper
def get_data_loaders(train_batch_size, val_batch_size, num_workers, train_dir, val_dir, seq_length):
# Custom data transformation
# example: data_transform = Compose([ToTensor(), Normalize((0.1307,), (0.3081,))])
data_transform = transforms.Lambda(lambda x: normalize_feature_vector(x))
# Dataset instantiation
co_t_set = CoOccurrencesDatasetRnnTime(train_dir, seq_length, data_transform)
co_v_set = CoOccurrencesDatasetRnnTime(val_dir, seq_length, data_transform)
# Training set DataLoader
train_loader = Data.DataLoader(co_t_set, train_batch_size, collate_fn=my_collate, shuffle=False,
num_workers=num_workers)
# Validation set DataLoader
val_loader = Data.DataLoader(co_v_set, val_batch_size, collate_fn=my_collate, shuffle=False,
num_workers=num_workers)
return train_loader, val_loader
## Batch preparation
def autoencoder_batch(batch, device, non_blocking=False):
# Simply sends the data to GPU
x, y = batch
if device == 'cuda':
x = x.cuda().to(device)
y = y.cuda().to(device)
return x, y
## Training routine
def autoencoder_training(trainer, batch):
# Extract the input and "label"
bx, by = autoencoder_batch(batch, device)
# Send the model to GPU (if available)
if device == 'cuda':
model.to(device)
# Forwarding
model.train()
optimizer.zero_grad()
decoded = model(bx)
# Compute the loss
loss = loss_func(decoded, by)
# Optimize
loss.backward()
optimizer.step()
return loss.item()
