Abstract

In this paper, we introduce ML-Decoder, a new attention-based classification head. ML-Decoder predicts the existence of class labels via queries, and enables better utilization of spatial data compared to global average pooling. By redesigning the decoder architecture, and using a novel group-decoding scheme, ML-Decoder is highly efficient, and can scale well to thousands of classes. Compared to using a larger backbone, ML-Decoder consistently provides a better speed-accuracy trade-off. ML-Decoder is also versatile - it can be used as a drop-in replacement for various classification heads, and generalize to unseen classes when operated with word queries. Novel query augmentations further improve its generalization ability. Using ML-Decoder, we achieve state-of-the-art results on several classification tasks: on MS-COCO multi-label, we reach 91.4% mAP; on NUS-WIDE zero-shot, we reach 31.1% ZSL mAP; and on ImageNet single-label, we reach with vanilla ResNet50 backbone a new top score of 80.7%, without extra data or distillation.

ML-Decoder Implementation

ML-Decoder implementation is available here. It can be easily integrated into any backbone using this example code:

ml_decoder_head = MLDecoder(num_classes) # initilization

spatial_embeddings = self.backbone(input_image) # backbone generates spatial embeddings      
 
logits = ml_decoder_head(spatial_embeddings) # transfrom spatial embeddings to logits

Training Code

We will share a full reproduction code for the article results.

Multi-label Training Code


A reproduction code for MS-COCO multi-label:

python train.py  \
--data=/home/datasets/coco2014/ \
--model_name=tresnet_l \
--image_size=448

Single-label Training Code

Our single-label training code uses the excellent timm repo. Reproduction code is currently from a fork, we will work toward a full merge to the main repo.

git clone https://github.com/mrT23/pytorch-image-models.git

This is the code for A2 configuration training, with ML-Decoder (--use-ml-decoder-head=1):

python -u -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=8 \
--nnodes=1 \
--node_rank=0 \

--model=resnet50 \

ZSL Training Code

Reproduction code for ZSL is WIP.
