Submanifold sparse convolutional networks

Overview

Submanifold Sparse Convolutional Networks

This is the PyTorch library for training Submanifold Sparse Convolutional Networks.

Spatial sparsity

This library brings Spatially-sparse convolutional networks to PyTorch. Moreover, it introduces Submanifold Sparse Convolutions, that can be used to build computationally efficient sparse VGG/ResNet/DenseNet-style networks.

With regular 3x3 convolutions, the set of active (non-zero) sites grows rapidly:
submanifold
With Submanifold Sparse Convolutions, the set of active sites is unchanged. Active sites look at their active neighbors (green); non-active sites (red) have no computational overhead:
submanifold
Stacking Submanifold Sparse Convolutions to build VGG and ResNet type ConvNets, information can flow along lines or surfaces of active points.

Disconnected components don't communicate at first, although they will merge due to the effect of strided operations, either pooling or convolutions. Additionally, adding ConvolutionWithStride2-SubmanifoldConvolution-DeconvolutionWithStride2 paths to the network allows disjoint active sites to communicate; see the 'VGG+' networks in the paper.

Dimensionality and 'submanifolds'

SparseConvNet supports input with different numbers of spatial/temporal dimensions. Higher dimensional input is more likely to be sparse because of the 'curse of dimensionality'.

Dimension Name in 'torch.nn' Use cases
1 Conv1d Text, audio
2 Conv2d Lines in 2D space, e.g. handwriting
3 Conv3d Lines and surfaces in 3D space or (2+1)D space-time
4 - Lines, etc, in (3+1)D space-time

We use the term 'submanifold' to refer to input data that is sparse because it has a lower effective dimension than the space in which it lives, for example a one-dimensional curve in 2+ dimensional space, or a two-dimensional surface in 3+ dimensional space.

In theory, the library supports up to 10 dimensions. In practice, ConvNets with size-3 SVC convolutions in dimension 5+ may be impractical as the number of parameters per convolution is growing exponentially. Possible solutions include factorizing the convolutions (e.g. 3x1x1x..., 1x3x1x..., etc), or switching to a hyper-tetrahedral lattice (see Sparse 3D convolutional neural networks).

Hello World

SparseConvNets can be built either by defining a function that inherits from torch.nn.Module or by stacking modules in a sparseconvnet.Sequential:

import torch
import sparseconvnet as scn

# Use the GPU if there is one, otherwise CPU
device = 'cuda:0' if torch.cuda.is_available() else 'cpu'

model = scn.Sequential().add(
    scn.SparseVggNet(2, 1,
                     [['C', 8], ['C', 8], ['MP', 3, 2],
                      ['C', 16], ['C', 16], ['MP', 3, 2],
                      ['C', 24], ['C', 24], ['MP', 3, 2]])
).add(
    scn.SubmanifoldConvolution(2, 24, 32, 3, False)
).add(
    scn.BatchNormReLU(32)
).add(
    scn.SparseToDense(2, 32)
).to(device)

# output will be 10x10
inputSpatialSize = model.input_spatial_size(torch.LongTensor([10, 10]))
input_layer = scn.InputLayer(2, inputSpatialSize)

msgs = [[" X   X  XXX  X    X    XX     X       X   XX   XXX   X    XXX   ",
         " X   X  X    X    X   X  X    X       X  X  X  X  X  X    X  X  ",
         " XXXXX  XX   X    X   X  X    X   X   X  X  X  XXX   X    X   X ",
         " X   X  X    X    X   X  X     X X X X   X  X  X  X  X    X  X  ",
         " X   X  XXX  XXX  XXX  XX       X   X     XX   X  X  XXX  XXX   "],

        [" XXX              XXXXX      x   x     x  xxxxx  xxx ",
         " X  X  X   XXX       X       x   x x   x  x     x  x ",
         " XXX                X        x   xxxx  x  xxxx   xxx ",
         " X     X   XXX       X       x     x   x      x    x ",
         " X     X          XXXX   x   x     x   x  xxxx     x ",]]


# Create Nx3 and Nx1 vectors to encode the messages above:
locations = []
features = []
for batchIdx, msg in enumerate(msgs):
    for y, line in enumerate(msg):
        for x, c in enumerate(line):
            if c == 'X':
                locations.append([y, x, batchIdx])
                features.append([1])
locations = torch.LongTensor(locations)
features = torch.FloatTensor(features).to(device)

input = input_layer([locations,features])
print('Input SparseConvNetTensor:', input)
output = model(input)

# Output is 2x32x10x10: our minibatch has 2 samples, the network has 32 output
# feature planes, and 10x10 is the spatial size of the output.
print('Output SparseConvNetTensor:', output)
