Summary of the application
In the course of implementing the present disclosure, the inventor finds that, in the existing knowledge distillation technology for network models, the floating point network model is usually used to perform knowledge distillation on the floating point model, that is, an untrained floating point network model is subjected to knowledge distillation through a trained floating point network model. Because the network layer of the fixed-point network model outputs the fixed-point data characteristics and the network layer of the floating-point model outputs the floating-point data characteristics, knowledge distillation of the fixed-point model based on the floating-point model is difficult to realize.
Exemplary method
Fig. 1 is a schematic flow chart diagram of a training method of a fixed-point model according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 1, the training method of the fixed-point model according to the embodiment of the present disclosure includes:
s1: based on the training data and the teacher network model, output characteristics of a target network layer in the teacher network model are determined. Wherein, the teacher network model is a floating point model. The floating point model represents that the data characteristics output by each network layer of the network model are floating point numerical values.
In this embodiment, the teacher network model is trained in advance, and may be divided into a training set and a test set by sample data, the teacher network model is trained by the training set, and then whether the teacher network model meets the convergence condition is detected and verified by the test set, and after the convergence condition is reached, the teacher network model may be obtained.
In the present embodiment, the teacher network model may adopt a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model. In the teacher network model, the output characteristic value of each convolution layer is a floating-point number. And connecting the last network layer of the teacher network model with a softmax function, and outputting a prediction result through the softmax function. The predicted content of the teacher network model can be finally determined after training through corresponding sample data according to user requirements.
The target network layer in the teacher network model performs convolution calculation on training data or an output feature map of a previous network layer of the target network layer to obtain the output features of the target network layer, wherein the training data can be image data acquired by a camera positioned in a specific physical scene. The specific physical scene may be a scene in a cabin of the vehicle, and the training data may be image data in the cabin acquired by a camera in the cabin; alternatively, the specific physical scene may be a traffic scene outside the vehicle, and the training data may be image data inside the vehicle collected by a camera provided outside the vehicle.
It should be noted that the training data in the embodiment of the present disclosure may be determined according to the user requirement.
When the training data is image data, the feature map output by each convolution layer of the target network layer is a feature in A, B, C dimensions. Wherein A, B and C are both integers greater than 0.
In this embodiment, when the target network layer is a network layer specified in the teacher network model, for example, the teacher network model is a network model with 50 layers, the target network layer is a network layer specified in one of the 50 layers, for example, the target network layer is a 49 th layer, a 48 th layer, or a 45 th layer, and so on.
S2: and determining the characteristics of a target network layer in the student network model before the quantitative operation based on the training data and the student network model.
In this embodiment, the student network model is a fixed point model, and the number of network layers of the student network model is the same as the number of network layers of the teacher network model, for example, the number of network layers of the teacher network model is 50. Accordingly, the student network model is also 50 layers. The fixed-point model is that the output characteristics of each network layer of the model are fixed-point numerical values, and the characteristics of each network layer of the fixed-point model before quantization are floating-point numerical values. The quantization operation is an operation that converts floating point features to fixed point features. In the embodiment of the disclosure, the teacher network model has a large parameter amount and high precision relative to the student network model. For example, the teacher network model is a 32-byte floating-point numerical storage and operation network model, and the student network model is an 8-byte integer numerical storage and operation network model.
In this embodiment, the target network layer in the teacher network model matches the target network layer in the student network model. For example, if the target network layer of the teacher network model is layer 49, the target network layer of the student network model is also layer 49, and the feature dimensions of the corresponding network layers of the teacher network model and the student network model are the same.
S3: based on the output characteristic and the characteristic before the quantization operation, a loss error is determined. The loss error is determined based on the floating point characteristics output by the teacher network model target network layer and the floating point characteristics before quantization of the student network model target network layer.
S4: parameters of the student network model are updated by back propagation based on the loss error.
In accordance with the exemplary scenario in step S1, when the training data is image data in the cabin, the trained student network model is executed by an artificial intelligence processor or a general purpose processor in the cabin by way of instructions, so as to implement scene recognition of the scenario in the cabin, where the scene recognition may be to monitor whether the driver is driving safely or the personal safety status of the passengers, and so on. In addition, the structure of the student network model is simple compared with that of the teacher network model, so that the computing efficiency of the artificial intelligence processor or the general processor can be improved, and meanwhile, the computing power consumption of the artificial intelligence processor or the general processor is reduced.
In this embodiment, a floating point model trained in advance is used as a teacher network model, an untrained fixed point model is used as a student network model, and the student network model can be trained in a knowledge distillation manner by outputting floating point characteristics to a target network layer in the teacher network model and floating point characteristics which are not subjected to quantization operation in the target network layer of the student network model and are associated with the target network layer in the teacher network model. The embodiment of the disclosure can train the fixed-point model through the floating-point model, and improve the prediction accuracy of the fixed-point model.
FIG. 2 is a schematic illustration of distillation of a network layer of a student network model by a network layer of a teacher network model in one example of the disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, in the present example, the target network layer of the teacher network model selects the nth layer of the teacher network model, where N is a natural number greater than 1, and N is less than or equal to the total number of network layers of the teacher network model. Accordingly, the target network layer of the student network model selects the nth layer of the student network model, for example, when the teacher network model is 50 layers, N is 49. After the loss error is determined through the floating point characteristics output by the nth layer of the teacher network model and the floating point characteristics of the nth layer of the student network model before quantization, the parameters of the student network model are updated in a back propagation mode according to the sequence of the nth-1 layer, the nth-2 layer, …, the 2 nd layer and the 1 st layer of the student network model based on the loss error.
In one embodiment of the present disclosure, step S3 includes:
s3-1: and determining a target error function based on the mean square error function and the original error function of the student network model.
In one example of the present disclosure, the mean square error function is as follows:
Figure BDA0003246045910000061
wherein MSE represents the mean square error,
Figure BDA0003246045910000062
representing an element, y, in a feature matrix of a target network layer in a student network model prior to a quantization operationiANDing in feature matrix representing target network layer output in teacher network model
Figure BDA0003246045910000071
And n represents the number of elements in the feature matrix output by the target network layer in the teacher network model.
In this embodiment, the mean square error function and the original error function of the student network model are used to calculate the target error function.
S3-2: a loss error is determined based on the output characteristic, the characteristic prior to the quantization operation, and a target error function.
Specifically, the loss error can be calculated by inputting a feature matrix output by the teacher network model target network layer and a feature matrix target error function of the student network model target network layer before quantization operation.
In the embodiment, the target error function is obtained through the mean square error function and the original error function of the student network model, the reasonable loss error between the characteristics of the target network layer of the teacher network model and the characteristics of the target network layer of the student network model before quantization operation can be accurately calculated based on the target error function, then back propagation is carried out based on the loss error, knowledge distillation of the teacher network model to the student network model can be realized, and the prediction accuracy of the student network model is improved.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, step S3-1 specifically includes: and weighting the mean square error function and the original error function of the student network model to obtain a target error function. For example, the following weighting formula is adopted:
Loss Total=A*MSE+(1-A)*LossOriginal source
Wherein L isoss TotalRepresenting Loss error, A represents the weighting coefficient of the mean square error, LossOriginal sourceRepresenting the original error function of the student network model.
In this embodiment, can effectively adjust the loss error through the weighting coefficient, and then can effectively adjust the parameter variation condition when carrying out reverse propagation to student's network model, promote teacher's network model and carry out knowledge distillation's effect to student's network model.
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of feature distributions of a floating point model and a fixed point model in one example of the present disclosure. In fig. 3(a) to 3(c), the abscissa in each graph represents the activation value of the feature, and the ordinate represents the number of neurons corresponding to the activation value. Wherein the activation value is a value obtained by the activation function after convolution. In the present example, a Linear rectification function (ReLU) is employed as the activation function.
Comparing fig. 3(a) and fig. 3(c), the neuron distribution of the activation values quantized by the fixed point model is sparse, and the neuron distribution characteristics of the activation values of the floating point model are greatly different, if the characteristics quantized by the fixed point model and the output characteristics of the floating point model are subjected to knowledge distillation, the effect is poor. Fig. 3(b) is a schematic diagram of the number distribution of neurons before fixed-point model quantization, and the number distribution of neurons of the floating-point model in fig. 3(c) is closer, so that it is more reasonable to perform knowledge distillation on the features of the fixed-point model before quantization and the output features of the floating-point model in the embodiment of the present disclosure.
In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the training method of the fixed-point model further includes:
s5: based on the training data and the teacher network model, a probability distribution result of the teacher network model is determined.
In this embodiment, the last layer of the teacher network model is connected with a softmax function, and after passing through the softmax function, a probability distribution result of the teacher network model can be obtained.
S6: and determining a probability distribution result of the student network model based on the training data and the student network model.

S7: and determining the cross entropy between the probability distribution result of the teacher network model and the probability distribution result of the student network model.
In one example of the present disclosure, the cross entropy function is as follows:
Figure BDA0003246045910000081
wherein H (p, q) represents cross entropy, p (x)i) Representing the probability of a classification item in the probability distribution results of the teacher network model, p (x)i) And representing the probability of the classification item corresponding to the probability distribution result of the instructor network model in the probability distribution result of the student network model.
Based on the cross entropy function, the cross entropy between the probability distribution result of the teacher network model and the probability distribution result of the student network model can be calculated.
S8: parameters of the student network model are updated by back propagation based on the cross entropy.
In this embodiment, on the basis of performing knowledge distillation on the features of the target network layer in the student network model before quantization operation through the output features of the target network layer in the teacher network model, the prediction accuracy of the student network model can be further improved by performing knowledge distillation again on the probability distribution result of the teacher network model and the probability distribution result of the student network model.
