TensorNet

This is a MATLAB and Theano+Lasagne implementation of the Tensor Train layer (TT-layer) of a neural network. For a TensorFlow implementation see a separate repository.

In short, the TT-layer acts as a fully-connected layer but is much more compact and allows to use lots of hidden units without slowing down the learning and inference.
For the additional information see the following paper:

Tensorizing Neural Networks
Alexander Novikov, Dmitry Podoprikhin, Anton Osokin, Dmitry Vetrov; In Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems 28 (NIPS-2015) [arXiv].

Please cite it if you write a scientific paper using this code.
In BiBTeX format:

  author    = {Novikov, Alexander and Podoprikhin, Dmitry and Osokin, Anton and Vetrov, Dmitry},
  title     = {Tensorizing Neural Networks},

  year      = {2015},
}

Installation

MATLAB version

Install the TT-Toolbox (just download it and run setup.m to add everything important into the MATLAB path).

Install the MatConvNet framework (preferably with the GPU support). TensorNet works with MatConvNet 1.0-beta11 (April 2015) and higher (the latest tested version is 1.0-beta14).
Add the mataconvnet_path/examples folder to the MATLAB path to be able to use the cnn_train function.

Copy this repository and add the src/matlab folder into the MATLAB path.

Now you can test TensorNet using the command

vl_test_ttlayers

To test GPU support (if you have compiled MatConvNet in GPU mode) use:

vl_test_ttlayers(1)

Theano+Lasagne version

Install fresh version of Theano and Lasagne.

Copy this repository and add the src/python folder into the Python path.

Pretrained models

MNIST shapes

In this experiment we compared how shapes and ranks influence the performance of the TT-layer using the MNIST dataset (see figure 1 and section 6.1 of the original paper for the details). Download models in the MatConvNet format (.mat file, 2.9 Mb) and preprocessed MNIST dataset (.mat file, 132 Mb).

You will find a cell array of models with metadata, the first and the last epochs of training included for each model. Example of usage (computing the validation error):

imdb = load('imdb.mat');
load('mnist_shapes.mat');
% Choose (for example) the 5-th model whose shape equal 4 x 8 x 8 x 4.
net = models{5}.lastEpoch.net;
% Remove the softmax layer (unnecessary during the validation).
net.layers(end) = [];
valIdx = find(imdb.images.set == 3);
res = vl_simplenn(net, imdb.images.data(:, :, :, valIdx));
scores = squeeze(res(end).x);
[bestScore, best] = max(scores);
acc = mean(best == imdb.images.labels(valIdx));
fprintf('Accuracy is %f\n', acc);

Reproducing experiments

Right now just one basic example on the MNIST dataset is available (more experiments from the paper are coming soon). To try it out, navigate to the experiments/mnist folder and type the following command in the MATLAB prompt:

[net_tt, info_tt] = cnn_mnist_tt('expDir', 'data/mnist-tt');
