CosineEMA

class mmpretrain.models.utils.CosineEMA(model, momentum=0.004, end_momentum=0.0, interval=1, device=None, update_buffers=False)

CosineEMA is implemented for updating momentum parameter, used in BYOL, MoCoV3, etc.

All parameters are updated by the formula as below:

\[X'_{t+1} = (1 - m) * X'_t + m * X_t\]

Where \(m\) the the momentum parameter. And it’s updated with cosine annealing, including momentum adjustment following:

\[m = m_{end} + (m_{end} - m_{start}) * (\cos\frac{k\pi}{K} + 1) / 2\]

where \(k\) is the current step, \(K\) is the total steps.

备注

This momentum argument is different from one used in optimizer classes and the conventional notion of momentum. Mathematically, \(X'_{t}\) is the moving average and \(X_t\) is the new observed value. The value of momentum is usually a small number, allowing observed values to slowly update the ema parameters. See also torch.nn.BatchNorm2d.

参数:

• model (nn.Module) – The model to be averaged.

• momentum (float) – The start momentum value. Defaults to 0.004.

• end_momentum (float) – The end momentum value for cosine annealing. Defaults to 0.

• interval (int) – Interval between two updates. Defaults to 1.

• device (torch.device, optional) – If provided, the averaged model will be stored on the device. Defaults to None.

• update_buffers (bool) – if True, it will compute running averages for both the parameters and the buffers of the model. Defaults to False.
