EFFT-Effective-Factor-Tuning

Huazhong University of Science and Technology

[arXiv]

This repository is a official code of the research presented in the paper ["Effective Factor Tuning"](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.06749). The goal is to provide a transparent, open-source implementation for the community to explore and build upon.

Abstract

Recent advancements have illuminated theefficacy of some tensorization-decomposition Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning methods like LoRA and FacT in the context of Vision Transformers (ViT). However, these methods grapple with the challenges of inadequately addressing inner- and cross-layer redundancy. To tackle this issue, we introduce EFfective Factor-Tuning (EFFT), a simple yet effective fine-tuning method. Within the VTAB-1K dataset, our EFFT surpasses all baselines, attaining state-of-the-art performance with a categorical average of 75.9% in top-1 accuracy with only 0.28% of the parameters for full fine-tuning. Considering the simplicity and efficacy of EFFT, it holds the potential to serve as a foundational benchmark.

Prerequisites

  • Python = 3.9
  • timm = 0.5.4
  • avalanche-lib = 0.4.0
  • Other dependencies specified in requirements.txt

Installation

To set up your environment to run the code, follow these steps:

  1. Clone the Repository:
git clone https://github.com/Dongping-Chen/EFFT-EFfective-Factor-Tuning.git
cd EFFT-EFfective-Factor-Tuning
  1. Create and Activate a Virtual Environment (optional but recommended) and Install the Required Packages:
conda create --name EFFT python=3.9
conda activate EFFT
pip install -r requirements.txt
  1. Download Datasets To download the datasets, please refer to https://github.com/ZhangYuanhan-AI/NOAH/#data-preparation. Then move the dataset folders to <YOUR PATH>/EFFT-EFfective-Factor-Tuning/data/.

  2. Download Checkpoints of ViT and Swin Transformers As for ViT-B, download the pretrained ViT-B/16 to <YOUR PATH>/EFFT-EFfective-Factor-Tuning/ViT-B_16.npz. For other sizes of ViT and Swin Transformers, please kindly refer to ViT and Swin Transformers.

Usage

To reproduce the experiments, run:

./run.sh

You can also run experiment one by one:

python execute.py --model "ViT" --size "B" --dataset "cifar"

Parameters

You can customize the execution by specifying various parameters:

  • --model: Choose between 'ViT' or 'Swin'.
  • --size: For 'ViT', options include 'B', 'L', 'H'. For 'Swin', options include 'T', 'S', 'B', 'L'.
  • --dataset: Select from a wide range of datasets including 'cifar', 'caltech101', 'dtd', and many others listed in the introduction.

Example:

python execute.py --model "ViT" --size "B" --dataset "cifar"

Note: When using the 'ViT B' model, optimal hyperparameters for replication will be automatically imported.
