Masked Autoencoders Enable Efficient Knowledge Distillers

This is a PyTorch implementation of the DMAE paper.

Preparation

Install PyTorch and ImageNet dataset following the official PyTorch ImageNet training code. Please refer to MAE official codebase for other enrironment requirements.

Pre-Training

This implementation only supports multi-gpu, DistributedDataParallel training, which is faster and simpler; single-gpu or DataParallel training is not supported.

To pre-train models in an 8-gpu machine, please first download the ViT-Large model as the teacher model, and then run:

bash pretrain.sh

Finetuning

To fintune models in an 8-gpu machine, run:

bash finetune.sh

Models

The checkpoints of our pre-trained and finetuned ViT-Base on ImageNet-1k can be downloaded as following:
