A pytorch package for robustness and adaptation research

Robustness evaluation and Adaptation of ImageNet models

This repo contains a growing collection of helper functions, tools and methods for robustness evaluation and adaptation of ImageNet scale models. The focus is on simple methods that work at scale.

We currently have the following features available:

• examples/batchnorm: A reference implementation of batch norm adaptation used by Schneider, Rusak et al. (NeurIPS 2020)
• examples/selflearning: A reference implementation of self learning with robust pseudo labeling used by Rusak, Schneider et al. (arxiv 2021)
• examples/imagenet_d: Example runs on the ImageNet-D dataset used by Rusak, Schneider et al. (arxiv 2021)

Planned features for future releases are (please open an issue if you can think of additional interesting parts to add):

• Helper functions for robustness datasets like ImageNet-A, ImageNet-R and ImageNet-C
• examples/clip: Robustness evaluation for CLIP, Radford et al. (2021)
• examples/dino: Robustness evaluation for DINO, Caron et al. (2021)
  • Blog Post with robustness results: https://stes.io/dino/

☕ The robusta toolbox for Robustness and Adaptation

Motivation

Besides reference implementations, this repo is mainly intended to provide a quick and easy way to adapt your own code. In particular, when developing new methods for improving robustness on deep learning models, we find it interesting to report results after adapting your model to the test datasets. This paints a more holistic image of model robustness: Some people might be interested in ad-hoc model performance, other might be interested in the performance obtained in a transductive inference setting.

Note that the package is not intended for general purpose domain adaptation. Instead, we focus on providing simple methods that prove to be effective for ImageNet scale model adaptation at test time. The package provides helper functions that are "minimally invasive" and can easily be added to existing source code for model evaluation.

Quick Start

We will release the first stable version of the package on PyPI. Until then, you can install directly from the main repo:

pip install git+git://github.com/bethgelab/robustness.git

Here is an example for how to use robusta for batchnorm adaptation & robust pseudo-labeling.

    model = torchvision.models.resnet50(pretrained=True)

    # We provide implementations for ImageNet-val, ImageNetC, ImageNetR,
    # ImageNetA and ImageNetD:
    val_dataset = robusta.datasets.imagenetc.ImageNetC(
        root=dataset_folder, corruption="gaussian_blur", severity=1,
        transform=transforms.Compose([transforms.ToTensor()])
        )
    val_loader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(
        val_dataset, batch_size=batch_size, shuffle=True)

    # We offer different options for batch norm adaptation;
    # alternatives are "ema", "batch_wise_prior", ...
    robusta.batchnorm.adapt(model, adapt_type="batch_wise")

    # The accuracy metric can be specific to the dataset:
    # For example, ImageNet-R requires remapping into 200 classes.
    accuracy_metric = val_dataset.accuracy

    # You can also easily use self-learning in your model.
    # Self-learning adaptation can be combined with batch norm adaptation, example:
    parameters = robusta.selflearning.adapt(model, adapt_type="affine")
    optimizer = torch.optim.SGD(parameters, lr=1e-3)

    # You can choose from a set of adaptation losses (GCE, Entropy, ...)
    rpl_loss = robusta.selflearning.GeneralizedCrossEntropy(q=0.8)

    acc1_sum, acc5_sum, num_samples = 0., 0., 0.
    for epoch in range(num_epochs):
        predictions = []
        for images, targets in val_loader:

            logits = model(images)
            predictions = logits.argmax(dim=1)

            # Predictions are optional. If you do not specify them,
            # they will be computed within the loss function.
            loss = rpl_loss(logits, predictions)

            # When using self-learning, you need to add an additional optimizer
            # step in your evaluation loop.
            optimizer.zero_grad()
            loss.backward()
            optimizer.step()

            acc1_sum, acc5_sum += accuracy_metric(predictions, targets, topk=(1,5))
            num_samples += len(targets)
            print(f"Top-1: {acc1_sum/num_samples}, Top-5: {acc5_sum/num_samples}")

Example Implementations

Batch Norm Adaptation

[Paper] [Web] [README] [Implementation]

We propose to go beyond the assumption of a single sample from the target domain when evaluating robustness. Re-computing BatchNorm statistics is a simple baseline algorithm for improving the corruption error up to 14% points over a wide range of models, when access to more than a single sample is possible.

Self-Learning

[Paper] [Web] [README] [Implementation]

Test-time adaptation with self-learning improves robustness of large-scale computer vision models on ImageNet-C, -R, and -A.

Robustness evaluation of DINO models

[Blog Post] [Implementation coming soon]

Note: The current version of this code base is a work in progress. We still decided to do this pre-release since the core methods are conceptually easy to use in your own code (batch norm adaptation, self-learning, ... and the current state might already be a useful place to start.
