Convolutional Neural Networks for CIFAR-10

Accuracy of all my implementations

In particular：
Change the batch size according to your GPU’s memory.
Modify the learning rate schedule may imporve the results of accuracy!

About LeNet and CNN training tips/tricks

LeNet is the first CNN network proposed by LeCun.
I used different CNN training tricks to show you how to train your model efficiently.

LeNet_keras.py is the baseline of LeNet,
LeNet_dp_keras.py used the Data Prepossessing [DP],
LeNet_dp_da_keras.py used both DP and the Data Augmentation[DA],
LeNet_dp_da_wd_keras.py used DP, DA and Weight Decay [WD]

network	GPU	DP	DA	WD	training time	accuracy(%)
LeNet_keras	GTX1080TI	-	-	-	5 min	58.48
LeNet_dp_keras	GTX1080TI	√	-	-	5 min	60.41
LeNet_dp_da_keras	GTX1080TI	√	√	-	26 min	75.06
LeNet_dp_da_wd_keras	GTX1080TI	√	√	√	26 min	76.23

About Learning Rate schedule

Different learning rate schedule may get different training/testing accuracy!
See ./htd, and HTD for more details.

About Multiple GPUs Training

Since the latest version of Keras is already supported keras.utils.multi_gpu_model, so you can simply use the following code to train your model with multiple GPUs:

from keras.utils import multi_gpu_model
from keras.applications.resnet50 import ResNet50

model = ResNet50()

# Replicates `model` on 8 GPUs.
parallel_model = multi_gpu_model(model, gpus=8)
parallel_model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy',optimizer='adam')

# This `fit` call will be distributed on 8 GPUs.
# Since the batch size is 256, each GPU will process 32 samples.
parallel_model.fit(x, y, epochs=20, batch_size=256)

About ResNeXt & DenseNet

Since I don’t have enough machines to train the larger networks, I only trained the smallest network described in the paper. You can see the results in liuzhuang13/DenseNet and prlz77/ResNeXt.pytorch
