This repository is the official implementation of our ICML 2020 paper titled "T-Basis: a Compact Representation for Neural Networks" [arXiv] [PMLR].

It demonstrates how to perform low-rank neural network training in a compressed form. The code provides select experiments (image classification and semantic segmentation) from the paper (see configs/icml20 directory).

Clone the repository, then create a new virtual environment, and install python dependencies into it:

python3 -m venv venv_tbasis
source venv_tbasis/bin/activate
pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

In case of problems with generic requirements, fall back to requirements_reproducibility.txt.

The code performs logging to the console, tensorboard file in the experiment log directory, and also Weights and Biases (wandb). Upon the first run, please enter your wandb credentials, which can be obtained by registering a free account with the service.

The training script allows specifying multiple yml config files, which will be concatenated during execution. This is done to separate experiment configs from environment configs. To start running experiments, create your own config file with a few environment settings, similar to configs/env_lsf.yml. Generally, you only need to update paths; see other fields explained in config reference.

Choose a preconfigured experiment from any of the configs/icml20/* directories, or compose your own config using the config reference, and run the following command:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python -m src.train --cfg configs/env_yours.yml --cfg configs/experiment.yml
