Intended uses & limitations

You can use the raw model for image classification or use it as pretrained model for further finetuning.

How to use

First, clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/IvanDrokin/torch-conv-kan.git
cd torch-conv-kan
pip install -r requirements.txt

Then you can initialize the model and load weights.

import torch
from models import vggkagn


model = vggkagn(3,
                1000,
                groups=1,
                degree=5,
                dropout=0.15,
                l1_decay=0,
                dropout_linear=0.25,
                width_scale=2,
                vgg_type='VGG11v2',
                expected_feature_shape=(1, 1),
                affine=True
                )

model.from_pretrained('brivangl/vgg_kagn11_v2')

Transforms, used for validation on Imagenet1k:

from torchvision.transforms import v2


transforms_val = v2.Compose([
        v2.ToImage(),
        v2.Resize(256, antialias=True),
        v2.CenterCrop(224),
        v2.ToDtype(torch.float32, scale=True),
        v2.Normalize(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406], std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225]),
    ])

Training data

This model trained on Imagenet1k dataset (1281167 images in train set)

Training procedure

Model was trained during 200 full epochs with AdamW optimizer, with following parameters:

{'learning_rate': 0.0009, 'adam_beta1': 0.9, 'adam_beta2': 0.999, 'adam_weight_decay': 5e-06,
'adam_epsilon': 1e-08, 'lr_warmup_steps': 7500, 'lr_power': 0.3, 'lr_end': 1e-07, 'set_grads_to_none': False}

And this augmnetations:

transforms_train = v2.Compose([
    v2.ToImage(),
    v2.RandomHorizontalFlip(p=0.5),
    v2.RandomResizedCrop(224, antialias=True),
    v2.RandomChoice([v2.AutoAugment(AutoAugmentPolicy.CIFAR10),
                     v2.AutoAugment(AutoAugmentPolicy.IMAGENET)
                     ]),
    v2.ToDtype(torch.float32, scale=True),
    v2.Normalize(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406], std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225]),
])
