Simple stochastic weight averaging callback for Keras.
Project description
Keras SWA - Stochastic Weight Averaging
This is an implemention of SWA for Keras and TF-Keras.
Introduction
Stochastic weight averaging (SWA) is build upon the same principle as snapshot ensembling and fast geometric ensembling. The idea is that averaging select stages of training can lead to better models. Where as the two former methods average by sampling and ensembling models, SWA instead average weights. This has been shown to give comparable improvements confined into a single model.

Installation
pip install keras-swa
SWA API
Keras callback object for SWA.
Arguments
start_epoch - Starting epoch for SWA.
lr_schedule - Learning rate schedule. 'manual'
, 'constant'
or 'cyclic'
.
swa_lr - Learning rate used when averaging weights.
swa_lr2 - Upper bound of learning rate for the cyclic schedule.
swa_freq - Frequency of weight averagining. Used with cyclic schedules.
batch_size - Batch size model is being trained with (only when using batch normalization).
verbose - Verbosity mode, 0 or 1.
Batch Normalization
Last epoch will be a forward pass, i.e. have learning rate set to zero, for models with batch normalization. This is due to the fact that batch normalization uses the running mean and variance of it's preceding layer to make a normalization. SWA will offset this normalization by suddenly changing the weights in the end of training. Therefore, it is necessary for the last epoch to be used to reset and recalculate batch normalization running mean and variance for the updated weights. Batch normalization gamma and beta values are preserved.
When using manual schedule: The SWA callback will set learning rate to zero in the last epoch if batch normalization is used. This must not be undone by any external learning rate schedulers for SWA to work properly.
Learning Rate Schedules
The default schedule is 'manual'
, allowing the learning rate to be controlled by an external learning rate scheduler or the optimizer. Then SWA will only affect the final weights and the learning rate of the last epoch if batch normalization is used. The schedules for the two predefined, 'constant'
or 'cyclic'
can be observed below.
Example
For Tensorflow Keras (with constant LR)
from sklearn.datasets import make_blobs
from tensorflow.keras.utils import to_categorical
from tensorflow.keras.models import Sequential
from tensorflow.keras.layers import Dense
from tensorflow.keras.optimizers import SGD
from swa.tfkeras import SWA
# make dataset
X, y = make_blobs(n_samples=1000,
centers=3,
n_features=2,
cluster_std=2,
random_state=2)
y = to_categorical(y)
# build model
model = Sequential()
model.add(Dense(50, input_dim=2, activation='relu'))
model.add(Dense(3, activation='softmax'))
model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy',
optimizer=SGD(lr=0.1))
epochs = 100
start_epoch = 75
# define swa callback
swa = SWA(start_epoch=start_epoch,
lr_schedule='constant',
swa_lr=0.01,
verbose=1)
# train
model.fit(X, y, epochs=epochs, verbose=1, callbacks=[swa])
Or for Keras (with Cyclic LR)
from sklearn.datasets import make_blobs
from keras.utils import to_categorical
from keras.models import Sequential
from keras.layers import Dense, BatchNormalization
from keras.optimizers import SGD
from swa.keras import SWA
# make dataset
X, y = make_blobs(n_samples=1000,
centers=3,
n_features=2,
cluster_std=2,
random_state=2)
y = to_categorical(y)
# build model
model = Sequential()
model.add(Dense(50, input_dim=2, activation='relu'))
model.add(BatchNormalization())
model.add(Dense(3, activation='softmax'))
model.compile(loss='categorical_crossentropy',
optimizer=SGD(learning_rate=0.1))
epochs = 100
start_epoch = 75
# define swa callback
swa = SWA(start_epoch=start_epoch,
lr_schedule='cyclic',
swa_lr=0.001,
swa_lr2=0.003,
swa_freq=3,
batch_size=32, # needed when using batch norm
verbose=1)
# train
model.fit(X, y, batch_size=32, epochs=epochs, verbose=1, callbacks=[swa])
Output
Model uses batch normalization. SWA will require last epoch to be a forward pass and will run with no learning rate
