Residual Networks

Welcome to the second assignment of this week! You will learn how to build very deep convolutional networks, using Residual Networks (ResNets). In theory, very deep networks can represent very complex functions; but in practice, they are hard to train. Residual Networks, introduced by He et al., allow you to train much deeper networks than were previously practically feasible.

In this assignment, you will:

  • Implement the basic building blocks of ResNets.
  • Put together these building blocks to implement and train a state-of-the-art neural network for image classification.

This assignment will be done in Keras.

1 - The problem of very deep neural networks

Last week, you built your first convolutional neural network. In recent years, neural networks have become deeper, with state-of-the-art networks going from just a few layers (e.g., AlexNet) to over a hundred layers.

The main benefit of a very deep network is that it can represent very complex functions. It can also learn features at many different levels of abstraction, from edges (at the lower layers) to very complex features (at the deeper layers). However, using a deeper network doesn’t always help. A huge barrier to training them is vanishing gradients: very deep networks often have a gradient signal that goes to zero quickly, thus making gradient descent unbearably slow. More specifically, during gradient descent, as you backprop from the final layer back to the first layer, you are multiplying by the weight matrix on each step, and thus the gradient can decrease exponentially quickly to zero (or, in rare cases, grow exponentially quickly and “explode” to take very large values).

During training, you might therefore see the magnitude (or norm) of the gradient for the earlier layers descrease to zero very rapidly as training proceeds:

aliyun-obser

Figure 1 : Vanishing gradient
The speed of learning decreases very rapidly for the early layers as the network trains

You are now going to solve this problem by building a Residual Network!

2 - Building a Residual Network

In ResNets, a “shortcut” or a “skip connection” allows the gradient to be directly backpropagated to earlier layers:

aliyun-obser

Figure 2 : A ResNet block showing a skip-connection

The image on the left shows the “main path” through the network. The image on the right adds a shortcut to the main path. By stacking these ResNet blocks on top of each other, you can form a very deep network.

We also saw in lecture that having ResNet blocks with the shortcut also makes it very easy for one of the blocks to learn an identity function. This means that you can stack on additional ResNet blocks with little risk of harming training set performance. (There is also some evidence that the ease of learning an identity function–even more than skip connections helping with vanishing gradients–accounts for ResNets’ remarkable performance.)

Two main types of blocks are used in a ResNet, depending mainly on whether the input/output dimensions are same or different. You are going to implement both of them.

2.1 - The identity block

The identity block is the standard block used in ResNets, and corresponds to the case where the input activation (say a[l]a^{[l]}) has the same dimension as the output activation (say a[l+2]a^{[l+2]}). To flesh out the different steps of what happens in a ResNet’s identity block, here is an alternative diagram showing the individual steps:

aliyun-obser

Figure 3 : Identity block. Skip connection "skips over" 2 layers.

The upper path is the “shortcut path.” The lower path is the “main path.” In this diagram, we have also made explicit the CONV2D and ReLU steps in each layer. To speed up training we have also added a BatchNorm step. Don’t worry about this being complicated to implement–you’ll see that BatchNorm is just one line of code in Keras!

In this exercise, you’ll actually implement a slightly more powerful version of this identity block, in which the skip connection “skips over” 3 hidden layers rather than 2 layers. It looks like this:

aliyun-obser

Figure 4 : Identity block. Skip connection "skips over" 3 layers.

Here’re the individual steps.

First component of main path:

  • The first CONV2D has F1F_1 filters of shape (1,1) and a stride of (1,1). Its padding is “valid” and its name should be conv_name_base + '2a'. Use 0 as the seed for the random initialization.
  • The first BatchNorm is normalizing the channels axis. Its name should be bn_name_base + '2a'.
  • Then apply the ReLU activation function. This has no name and no hyperparameters.

Second component of main path:

  • The second CONV2D has F2F_2 filters of shape (f,f)(f,f) and a stride of (1,1). Its padding is “same” and its name should be conv_name_base + '2b'. Use 0 as the seed for the random initialization.
  • The second BatchNorm is normalizing the channels axis. Its name should be bn_name_base + '2b'.
  • Then apply the ReLU activation function. This has no name and no hyperparameters.

Third component of main path:

  • The third CONV2D has F3F_3 filters of shape (1,1) and a stride of (1,1). Its padding is “valid” and its name should be conv_name_base + '2c'. Use 0 as the seed for the random initialization.
  • The third BatchNorm is normalizing the channels axis. Its name should be bn_name_base + '2c'. Note that there is no ReLU activation function in this component.

Final step:

  • The shortcut and the input are added together.
  • Then apply the ReLU activation function. This has no name and no hyperparameters.

Exercise: Implement the ResNet identity block. We have implemented the first component of the main path. Please read over this carefully to make sure you understand what it is doing. You should implement the rest.

  • To implement the Conv2D step: See reference
  • To implement BatchNorm: See reference (axis: Integer, the axis that should be normalized (typically the channels axis))
  • For the activation, use: Activation('relu')(X)
  • To add the value passed forward by the shortcut: See reference

2.2 - The convolutional block

You’ve implemented the ResNet identity block. Next, the ResNet “convolutional block” is the other type of block. You can use this type of block when the input and output dimensions don’t match up. The difference with the identity block is that there is a CONV2D layer in the shortcut path:

aliyun-obser

Figure 4 : Convolutional block

The CONV2D layer in the shortcut path is used to resize the input xx to a different dimension, so that the dimensions match up in the final addition needed to add the shortcut value back to the main path. (This plays a similar role as the matrix WsW_s discussed in lecture.) For example, to reduce the activation dimensions’s height and width by a factor of 2, you can use a 1x1 convolution with a stride of 2. The CONV2D layer on the shortcut path does not use any non-linear activation function. Its main role is to just apply a (learned) linear function that reduces the dimension of the input, so that the dimensions match up for the later addition step.

The details of the convolutional block are as follows.

First component of main path:

  • The first CONV2D has F1F_1 filters of shape (1,1) and a stride of (s,s). Its padding is “valid” and its name should be conv_name_base + '2a'.
  • The first BatchNorm is normalizing the channels axis. Its name should be bn_name_base + '2a'.
  • Then apply the ReLU activation function. This has no name and no hyperparameters.

Second component of main path:

  • The second CONV2D has F2F_2 filters of (f,f) and a stride of (1,1). Its padding is “same” and it’s name should be conv_name_base + '2b'.
  • The second BatchNorm is normalizing the channels axis. Its name should be bn_name_base + '2b'.
  • Then apply the ReLU activation function. This has no name and no hyperparameters.

Third component of main path:

  • The third CONV2D has F3F_3 filters of (1,1) and a stride of (1,1). Its padding is “valid” and it’s name should be conv_name_base + '2c'.
  • The third BatchNorm is normalizing the channels axis. Its name should be bn_name_base + '2c'. Note that there is no ReLU activation function in this component.

Shortcut path:

  • The CONV2D has F3F_3 filters of shape (1,1) and a stride of (s,s). Its padding is “valid” and its name should be conv_name_base + '1'.
  • The BatchNorm is normalizing the channels axis. Its name should be bn_name_base + '1'.

Final step:

  • The shortcut and the main path values are added together.
  • Then apply the ReLU activation function. This has no name and no hyperparameters.

Exercise: Implement the convolutional block. We have implemented the first component of the main path; you should implement the rest. As before, always use 0 as the seed for the random initialization, to ensure consistency with our grader.

3 - Building your first ResNet model (50 layers)

You now have the necessary blocks to build a very deep ResNet. The following figure describes in detail the architecture of this neural network. “ID BLOCK” in the diagram stands for “Identity block,” and “ID BLOCK x3” means you should stack 3 identity blocks together.

aliyun-obser

Figure 5 : ResNet-50 model

The details of this ResNet-50 model are:

  • Zero-padding pads the input with a pad of (3,3)
  • Stage 1:
    • The 2D Convolution has 64 filters of shape (7,7) and uses a stride of (2,2). Its name is “conv1”.
    • BatchNorm is applied to the channels axis of the input.
    • MaxPooling uses a (3,3) window and a (2,2) stride.
  • Stage 2:
    • The convolutional block uses three set of filters of size [64,64,256], “f” is 3, “s” is 1 and the block is “a”.
    • The 2 identity blocks use three set of filters of size [64,64,256], “f” is 3 and the blocks are “b” and “c”.
  • Stage 3:
    • The convolutional block uses three set of filters of size [128,128,512], “f” is 3, “s” is 2 and the block is “a”.
    • The 3 identity blocks use three set of filters of size [128,128,512], “f” is 3 and the blocks are “b”, “c” and “d”.
  • Stage 4:
    • The convolutional block uses three set of filters of size [256, 256, 1024], “f” is 3, “s” is 2 and the block is “a”.
    • The 5 identity blocks use three set of filters of size [256, 256, 1024], “f” is 3 and the blocks are “b”, “c”, “d”, “e” and “f”.
  • Stage 5:
    • The convolutional block uses three set of filters of size [512, 512, 2048], “f” is 3, “s” is 2 and the block is “a”.
    • The 2 identity blocks use three set of filters of size [256, 256, 2048], “f” is 3 and the blocks are “b” and “c”.
  • The 2D Average Pooling uses a window of shape (2,2) and its name is “avg_pool”.
  • The flatten doesn’t have any hyperparameters or name.
  • The Fully Connected (Dense) layer reduces its input to the number of classes using a softmax activation. Its name should be 'fc' + str(classes).

Exercise: Implement the ResNet with 50 layers described in the figure above. We have implemented Stages 1 and 2. Please implement the rest. (The syntax for implementing Stages 3-5 should be quite similar to that of Stage 2.) Make sure you follow the naming convention in the text above.

The model is now ready to be trained. The only thing you need is a dataset.

For the purpose of this assignment, we’ve asked you to train the model only for two epochs. You can see that it achieves poor performances. Please go ahead and submit your assignment; to check correctness, the online grader will run your code only for a small number of epochs as well.

Example of the trained model (NOT PROVIDED)

After you have finished this official (graded) part of this assignment, you can also optionally train the ResNet for more iterations, if you want. We get a lot better performance when we train for ~20 epochs, but this will take more than an hour when training on a CPU.

Using a GPU, we’ve trained our own ResNet50 model’s weights on the SIGNS dataset. You can load and run our trained model on the test set in the cells below. It may take ≈1min to load the model.

model = load_model('ResNet50.h5')

preds = model.evaluate(X_test, Y_test)
print ("Loss = " + str(preds[0]))
print ("Test Accuracy = " + str(preds[1]))

Loss = 0.530178320408
Test Accuracy = 0.866666662693

ResNet50 is a powerful model for image classification when it is trained for an adequate number of iterations. We hope you can use what you’ve learnt and apply it to your own classification problem to perform state-of-the-art accuracy.

Congratulations on finishing this assignment! You’ve now implemented a state-of-the-art image classification system!

4 - Test on your own image (Optional/Ungraded)

If you wish, you can also take a picture of your own hand and see the output of the model. To do this:
1. Click on “File” in the upper bar of this notebook, then click “Open” to go on your Coursera Hub.
2. Add your image to this Jupyter Notebook’s directory, in the “images” folder
3. Write your image’s name in the following code
4. Run the code and check if the algorithm is right!

What you should remember:

  • Very deep “plain” networks don’t work in practice because they are hard to train due to vanishing gradients.
  • The skip-connections help to address the Vanishing Gradient problem. They also make it easy for a ResNet block to learn an identity function.
  • There are two main type of blocks: The identity block and the convolutional block.
  • Very deep Residual Networks are built by stacking these blocks together.
