   使用冻结层进行迁移学习

在yolov5的训练过程中，作者介绍了如何使用冻结层实现迁移学习的策略。具体可以参考官方话题：Transfer Learning with Frozen Layers · Issue #1314 · ultralytics/yolov5 · GitHub

在很多情况下，迁移学习是一种十分有用的方法，可以在新的数据集上快速重新训练模型，无需重新训练整个模型。对部分权重进行冻结，其余权重进行更新并计算损失，比正常训练需要更少的计算资源，更少的训练时间（更快的达到收敛速度），yolov5将冻结层的梯度设置为0控制参数更新实现冻结训练。下面我们看实施的细节：

1.1层结构

通过如下指令打印出模型的层结构：

    for k, v in model.named_parameters():
        print(k)

1.2在训练的过程中，通过将梯度设置为0实现匹配层的冻结。

 # Freeze 
 freeze = [f'model.{x}.' for x in range(freeze)]  # layers to freeze 
 for k, v in model.named_parameters(): 
     v.requires_grad = True  # train all layers 
     if any(x in k for x in freeze): 
         print(f'freezing {k}') 
         v.requires_grad = False 

1.3冻结骨干网络，根据yaml配置文件可以看出，0-9层为Backbone层，所以我们只需设置freeze为10即可在训练的时候冻结骨干网络进行训练，同理设置freeze为24即可冻结所有的层。

yaml配置文件

python train.py --freeze 10 #冻结骨干网络

python train.py --freeze 24 #冻结所有的层

同时在话题的下面有人提出了有趣的训练过程：

作者也是给出了回复：

2. 修改训练好的模型（按需要修改）

yolov5保存的权重文件不仅仅包含是模型和参数，还包含其他的一些东西

从save model可以看出，训练结果还保存的其他的参数：

#epoch– 当前模型对应的epoch数。

#best_fitness– Fitness 是我们寻找最大值的变量，在 YOLOv5 中，我们将默认适应度函数定义为度量的加权组合：mAP@0.5 贡献了 10% 的权重，mAP@0.5:0.95 贡献了剩余的 90%，没有 Precision P 和 Recall R。您可以根据需要调整这些设置或使用默认的适合度定义。

#model– 保存的模型。

#ema– 指数移动平均。在深度学习中，经常会使用EMA（指数移动平均）这个方法对模型的参数做平均，以求提高测试指标并增加模型鲁棒。

#updata– 保存的模型

#optimizer– 优化信息

#wandb_id– 可视化工具

——————————

我们可以打印出模型的信息：

model = torch.load("yolov5s.pt")
print(model)

可以清晰的看出模型包含哪些信息。

我们可以按需要修改参数：

import argparse
import torch 
import numpy as np
 
 
if __name__ == '__main__':
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    parser.add_argument('--weights', type=str, default='', help='weights of input'))
    opt = parser.parse_args()

    model = torch.load(opt.weights, map_location=torch.device('cpu'))
 
    # 模型实例化
    net = model['model']

    # 只保留有用信息
    ckpt = {'epoch': -1,
            'best_fitness': model['best_fitness'],
            'model': net,
            'ema':None,
            'updates':None,
            'optimizer': None,
            'wandb_id':None,
            'date':model['date']}
 
    # 保存模型
    torch.save(ckpt, 'my_weight.pt')
 
    print('=========DONE=========')
