Contrastive unpaired image-to-image translation, faster and lighter training than cyclegan (ECCV 2020, in PyTorch)

Contrastive Unpaired Translation (CUT)





We provide our PyTorch implementation of unpaired image-to-image translation based on patchwise contrastive learning and adversarial learning. No hand-crafted loss and inverse network is used. Compared to CycleGAN, our model training is faster and less memory-intensive. In addition, our method can be extended to single image training, where each “domain” is only a single image.

Pseudo code

import torch
cross_entropy_loss = torch.nn.CrossEntropyLoss()

# Input: f_q (BxCxS) and sampled features from H(G_enc(x))
# Input: f_k (BxCxS) are sampled features from H(G_enc(G(x))
# Input: tau is the temperature used in PatchNCE loss.
# Output: PatchNCE loss
def PatchNCELoss(f_q, f_k, tau=0.07):
    # batch size, channel size, and number of sample locations
    B, C, S = f_q.shape

    # calculate v * v+: BxSx1
    l_pos = (f_k * f_q).sum(dim=1)[:, :, None]

    # calculate v * v-: BxSxS
    l_neg = torch.bmm(f_q.transpose(1, 2), f_k)

    # The diagonal entries are not negatives. Remove them.
    identity_matrix = torch.eye(S)[None, :, :]
    l_neg.masked_fill_(identity_matrix, -float('inf'))

    # calculate logits: (B)x(S)x(S+1)
    logits = torch.cat((l_pos, l_neg), dim=2) / tau

    # return PatchNCE loss
    predictions = logits.flatten(0, 1)
    targets = torch.zeros(B * S, dtype=torch.long)
    return cross_entropy_loss(predictions, targets)

Prerequisites

  • Linux or macOS
  • Python 3
  • CPU or NVIDIA GPU + CUDA CuDNN

Update log

9/12/2020: Added single-image translation.

Getting started

  • Clone this repo:
git clone https://github.com/taesungp/contrastive-unpaired-translation CUT
cd CUT
  • Install PyTorch 1.1 and other dependencies (e.g., torchvision, visdom, dominate, gputil).

    For pip users, please type the command pip install -r requirements.txt.

    For Conda users, you can create a new Conda environment using conda env create -f environment.yml.

CUT and FastCUT Training and Test

  • Download the grumpifycat dataset (Fig 8 of the paper. Russian Blue -> Grumpy Cats)
bash ./datasets/download_cut_dataset.sh grumpifycat

The dataset is downloaded and unzipped at ./datasets/grumpifycat/.

  • To view training results and loss plots, run python -m visdom.server and click the URL http://localhost:8097.

  • Train the CUT model:

python train.py --dataroot ./datasets/grumpifycat --name grumpycat_CUT --CUT_mode CUT

Or train the FastCUT model

python train.py --dataroot ./datasets/grumpifycat --name grumpycat_FastCUT --CUT_mode FastCUT

The checkpoints will be stored at ./checkpoints/grumpycat_*/web.

  • Test the CUT model:
python test.py --dataroot ./datasets/grumpifycat --name grumpycat_CUT --CUT_mode CUT --phase train

The test results will be saved to a html file here: ./results/grumpifycat/latest_test/index.html.

CUT, FastCUT, and CycleGAN


CUT is trained with the identity preservation loss and with lambda_NCE=1, while FastCUT is trained without the identity loss but with higher lambda_NCE=10.0. Compared to CycleGAN, CUT learns to perform more powerful distribution matching, while FastCUT is designed as a lighter (half the GPU memory, can fit a larger image), and faster (twice faster to train) alternative to CycleGAN. Please refer to the paper for more details.

In the above figure, we measure the percentage of pixels belonging to the horse/zebra bodies, using a pre-trained semantic segmentation model. We find a distribution mismatch between sizes of horses and zebras images -- zebras usually appear larger (36.8% vs. 17.9%). Our full method CUT has the flexibility to enlarge the horses, as a means of better matching of the training statistics than CycleGAN. FastCUT behaves more conservatively like CycleGAN.

Training using our launcher scripts

Please see experiments/grumpifycat_launcher.py that generates the above command line arguments. The launcher scripts are useful for configuring rather complicated command-line arguments of training and testing.

Using the launcher, the command below generates the training command of CUT and FastCUT.

python -m experiments grumpifycat train 0   # CUT
python -m experiments grumpifycat train 1   # FastCUT

To test using the launcher,

python -m experiments grumpifycat test 0   # CUT
python -m experiments grumpifycat test 1   # FastCUT

Possible commands are run, run_test, launch, close, and so on. Please see experiments/__main__.py for all commands. Launcher is easy and quick to define and use. For example, the grumpifycat launcher is defined in a few lines:

from .tmux_launcher import Options, TmuxLauncher


class Launcher(TmuxLauncher):
    def common_options(self):
        return [
            Options(    # Command 0
                dataroot="./datasets/grumpifycat",
                name="grumpifycat_CUT",
                CUT_mode="CUT"
            ),

            Options(    # Command 1
                dataroot="./datasets/grumpifycat",
                name="grumpifycat_FastCUT",
                CUT_mode="FastCUT",
            )
        ]

    def commands(self):
        return ["python train.py " + str(opt) for opt in self.common_options()]

    def test_commands(self):
        # Russian Blue -> Grumpy Cats dataset does not have test split.
        # Therefore, let's set the test split to be the "train" set.
        return ["python test.py " + str(opt.set(phase='train')) for opt in self.common_options()]

Apply a pre-trained CUT model and evaluate

The tutorial for using pretrained models will be released soon.

SinCUT Single Image Unpaired Training

To train SinCUT (single-image translation, shown in Fig 9, 13 and 14 of the paper), you need to

  1. set the --model option as --model sincut, which invokes the configuration and codes at ./models/sincut_model.py, and
  2. specify the dataset directory of one image in each domain, such as the example dataset included in this repo at ./datasets/single_image_monet_etretat/.

For example, to train a model for the Etretat cliff (first image of Figure 13), please use the following command.

python train.py --model sincut --name singleimage_monet_etretat --dataroot ./datasets/single_image_monet_etretat

or by using the experiment launcher script,

python -m experiments singleimage run 0

For single-image translation, we adopt network architectural components of StyleGAN2, as well as the pixel identity preservation loss used in DTN and CycleGAN. In particular, we adopted the code of rosinality, which exists at models/stylegan_networks.py.

The training takes several hours. To generate the final image using the checkpoint,

python test.py --model sincut --name singleimage_monet_etretat --dataroot ./datasets/single_image_monet_etretat

or simply

python -m experiments singleimage run_test 0
