Description
I'm confused as to how I can tell if the Faster RCNN Detection model I'm training is overfitting or not given that the validation loss is not computed in the evaluate function seen here and below.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
@torch.inference_mode()
def evaluate(model, data_loader, device):
n_threads = torch.get_num_threads()
# FIXME remove this and make paste_masks_in_image run on the GPU
torch.set_num_threads(1)
cpu_device = torch.device("cpu")
model.eval()
metric_logger = utils.MetricLogger(delimiter=" ")
header = "Test:"
coco = get_coco_api_from_dataset(data_loader.dataset)
iou_types = _get_iou_types(model)
coco_evaluator = CocoEvaluator(coco, iou_types)
for images, targets in metric_logger.log_every(data_loader, 100, header):
images = list(img.to(device) for img in images)
if torch.cuda.is_available():
torch.cuda.synchronize()
model_time = time.time()
outputs = model(images)
outputs = [{k: v.to(cpu_device) for k, v in t.items()} for t in outputs]
model_time = time.time() - model_time
res = {target["image_id"]: output for target, output in zip(targets, outputs)}
evaluator_time = time.time()
coco_evaluator.update(res)
evaluator_time = time.time() - evaluator_time
metric_logger.update(model_time=model_time, evaluator_time=evaluator_time)
# gather the stats from all processes
metric_logger.synchronize_between_processes()
print("Averaged stats:", metric_logger)
coco_evaluator.synchronize_between_processes()
# accumulate predictions from all images
coco_evaluator.accumulate()
coco_evaluator.summarize()
torch.set_num_threads(n_threads)
return coco_evaluator
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start with references/detection/engine.py, especially the evaluate function shown in the issue, and review how the Faster R-CNN training and evaluation outputs are used. Done means documenting a clear way to determine whether the model is overfitting when validation loss is not computed.
