Mugs: A Multi-Granular Self-Supervised Learning Framework

This is a PyTorch implementation of Mugs proposed by our paper "Mugs: A Multi-Granular Self-Supervised Learning Framework".

Rank 1 Linear Probing and KNN Classification Results on ImageNet Without Extra Training Data

Fig 1. Overall framework of Mugs. In (a), for each image, two random crops of one image are fed into backbones of student and teacher. Three granular supervisions: 1) instance discrimination supervision, 2) local-group discrimination supervision, and 3) group discrimination supervision, are adopted to learn multi-granular representation. In (b), local-group modules in student/teacher averages all patch tokens, and finds top-k neighbors from memory buffer to aggregate them with the average for obtaining a local-group feature.

Pretrained models on ImageNet-1K

You can choose to download only the weights of the pretrained backbone used for downstream tasks, or the full checkpoint which contains backbone and projection head weights for both student and teacher networks.

Pretraining Settings

Environment

For reproducing, please install PyTorch and download the ImageNet dataset. This codebase has been developed with python version 3.8, PyTorch version 1.7.1, CUDA 11.0 and torchvision 0.8.2. For the full environment, please refer to our Dockerfile file.

ViT pretraining 🍺

To pretraining each model, please find the exact hyper-parameter settings at the args column of Table 1. For training log and linear probing log, please refer to the log and eval logs column of Table 1.

Evaluation

We are cleaning up the evalutation code and will release them when they are ready.

Self-attention visualization

Here we provide the self-attention map of the [CLS] token on the heads of the last layer

T-SNE visualization

Here we provide the T-SNE visualization of the learned feature by ViT-B/16. We show the fish classes in ImageNet-1K, i.e., the first six classes, including tench, goldfish, white shark, tiger shark, hammerhead, electric ray. See more examples in Appendix.
