Simple Tensorflow implementation of [Squeeze Excitation Networks](https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.01507) using **Cifar10** The project is written primarily in Python, distributed under the MIT License license, first published in 2017. Key topics include: densenet, inception, inception-resnet, resnext, senet.

SENet-Tensorflow

Simple Tensorflow implementation of Squeeze Excitation Networks using Cifar10

I implemented the following SENet

If you want to see the original author's code, please refer to this link

Requirements

  • Tensorflow 1.x
  • Python 3.x
  • tflearn (If you are easy to use global average pooling, you should install tflearn)

Issue

Image_size

  • In paper, experimented with ImageNet
  • However, due to image size issues in Inception network, so I used zero padding for the Cifar10
python
input_x = tf.pad(input_x, [[0, 0], [32, 32], [32, 32], [0, 0]]) # size 32x32 -> 96x96

NOT ENOUGH GPU Memory

  • If not enough GPU memory, Please edit the code
python
with tf.Session() as sess : NO with tf.Session(config=tf.ConfigProto(allow_soft_placement=True)) as sess : OK

Idea

What is the "SE block" ?

senet

python
def Squeeze_excitation_layer(self, input_x, out_dim, ratio, layer_name): with tf.name_scope(layer_name) : squeeze = Global_Average_Pooling(input_x) excitation = Fully_connected(squeeze, units=out_dim / ratio, layer_name=layer_name+'_fully_connected1') excitation = Relu(excitation) excitation = Fully_connected(excitation, units=out_dim, layer_name=layer_name+'_fully_connected2') excitation = Sigmoid(excitation) excitation = tf.reshape(excitation, [-1,1,1,out_dim]) scale = input_x * excitation return scale

How apply ? (Inception, Residual)

How "Reduction ratio" should I set?
