Questions about training big-lama and the full-checkpoint

[yzhouas]

Hi, thanks again for your excellent works.
Is the big-lama model trained on places-challenge dataset? Whether it performs greatly better than a big-lama trained with places2-standard?
Is it possible to release the full checkpoints of the big-lama model, so we can finetune it on other data? Thanks.

[yzhouas]

Could you also share the training log or time of big-lama? Thanks so much.

Is the big-lama model trained on places-challenge dataset?

Not exactly Places Challenge - it was trained on a subset of 157 categories from Places Challenge. Please refer to supp.mat for exact list of these categories.

Whether it performs greatly better than a big-lama trained with places2-standard?

The difference is pretty noticeable by a naked eye, but the improvement from standard -> subset-of-challenge is less than the most important contributions from our paper (e.g. masks, architecture and segm-pl).

Could you also share the training log or time of big-lama? Thanks so much.

It took approximately 12 days to train this big-lama on 8xV100 32GB with total batch size of 120 (8 gpus x 15 samples).

Is it possible to release the full checkpoints of the big-lama model, so we can finetune it on other data?

I've just uploaded full checkpoint to https://disk.yandex.ru/d/wJ2Ee0f1HvasDQ subfoler big-lama-with-discr - unlike other checkpoints, this one has discriminator and SegmPL weights included.

Please share your experience with finetuning - does it help and how dramatically.

[yzhouas]

Thanks so much! That is super helpful!

I'll close that issue for now - feel free to reopen if you have any issies with fine-tuning

Hello,
I am having some issues loading the big-lama-with-discr for finetuning. Please correct me if I am wrong but I notice that the SegmPL weights are loss_segm_pl.impl... in the .ckpt, but the current trainer loads it as loss_resnet_pl.impl... https://github.com/saic-mdal/lama/blob/ede702b19b027ad2c0380419b2b71a90fe90a14f/saicinpainting/training/trainers/base.py#L110

After modifying this, I get the following error:

    'Trying to restore training state but checkpoint contains only the model.'
KeyError: 'Trying to restore training state but checkpoint contains only the model. This is probably due to `ModelCheckpoint.save_weights_only` being set to `True`.'

@yzhouas did you have any success with this? I am wondering if it is just me.

Apparently, this is a known issue in Pytorch Lightning, and the problem for the suggested Pytorch Lightning 1.2.9 seems to be here:

https://github.com/PyTorchLightning/pytorch-lightning/blob/f9f4853f3663404362c7de8614a504b0403c25b8/pytorch_lightning/trainer/connectors/checkpoint_connector.py#L106

        # restore training state
        self.restore_training_state(checkpoint)

So, a very ugly hack would be to bypass it as:

        # restore training state
        try:
            self.restore_training_state(checkpoint)
        except KeyError:
            rank_zero_warn(
                "File at `resume_from_checkpoint` Trying to restore training state but checkpoint contains only the model."
            )

Hi @affromero !

Yeah, I forgot that we changed the name of this variable already after training big lama... Another possible solution is to just strip loss_segm_pl.impl... from the checkpoint altogether - anyway it is initialized from a fixed ade20k checkpoint.

Trying to restore training state but checkpoint contains only the model.

I have not faced this issue yet. Have you resolved it?

Hi @windj007,

I looked into the Supplementary Material but I was not able to find what categories from Places Challenge were used for training Big-Lama. Could you please list these categories? Also, why haven't you used the entire Places Challenge for training Big-Lama?

Thank you

Hi @windj007 ,

I am having the some issue loading the big-lama-with-discr for finetuning, please correct me if I made any mistake.

I run this command:
python bin/train.py -cn big-lama location=my_dataset data.batch_size=10 +trainer.kwargs.resume_from_checkpoint=path\\to\\big-lama-with-discr\\best.ckpt

and got this error message:
RuntimeError: Error(s) in loading state_dict for DefaultInpaintingTrainingModule:
Missing key(s) in state_dict: "loss_resnet_pl.impl.conv1.weight", "loss_resnet_pl......
Unexpected key(s) in state_dict: "loss_segm_pl.impl.conv1.weight", "loss_segm_pl.impl....

I modified base.py Line 109:
From:
if self.config.losses.get("resnet_pl", {"weight": 0})['weight'] > 0: self.loss_resnet_pl = ResNetPL(**self.config.losses.resnet_pl)

To:
if self.config.losses.get("sege_pl", {"weight": 0})['weight'] > 0: self.loss_sege_pl = ResNetPL(**self.config.losses.sege_pl)

And and Missing key error is disappeared, but still have the Unexpected key error message:
Unexpected key(s) in state_dict: "loss_segm_pl.impl.conv1.weight", "loss_segm_pl.impl...._

Do you have any suggestion for this?

[windj007]

@marcelsan The list is there, on page 5.

why haven't you used the entire Places Challenge for training Big-Lama?

Bigger datasets need bigger models - and smaller models work better when the dataset is more focused. And Big-LaMa is not that big in terms of number of trainable parameters.

@Liang-Sen

And and Missing key error is disappeared, but still have the Unexpected key error message:

The quick solution is a couple of comments above:

Another possible solution is to just strip loss_segm_pl.impl... from the checkpoint altogether - anyway it is initialized from a fixed ade20k checkpoint.

I should have fixed and reupploaded the checkpoint, but have not found time yet...

@windj007
Thanks for your reply.
I just remove the "loss_segm_pl" from the checkpoint and its worked.

Share the remove_checkpoint here:

@Liang-Sen thank you!

I summed up the experience above and trained big-lama like this. If I made any mistakes, please correct me.

@windj007 I just need to run the inference with lama-fourier-with-discr. As mentioned I have downloaded weights from https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YTiKZ1hQnKvTEbXIxFXjGg61pBAch_N7/view?usp=sharing mentioned by @Liang-Sen Can you please give me the config file for lama-fourier-with-discr.
