How to run Training & Testing

Example code to train the capsule_dynamic(CapsNet with dynamic routing) model on mnist dataset.

$ python main.py --model=capsule_dynamic --data=mnist

Example code to test the capsule_dynamic(CapsNet with dynamic routing) model on mnist dataset.

$ python main.py --is_train=False --model=capsule_dynamic --data=mnist

Other models can be trained/tested by changing the name of the --model flag, and other datasets can be used by changing the name of the --data flag.

Test 1 (mnist -> mnist)

Code to run the test

$ python main.py --model=capsule_dynamic --data=mnist 

$ python main.py --is_train=False --model=capsule_dynamic --data=mnist 

Trained mnist images Reconstructed mnist images

Model	Parameters	Test Accuracy
baseline_network	13.2M	99.03 %
capsule_dynamic	8.2M	99.25 %

Both baseline_network and capsule_dynamic network achieved above 99% accuracy on the mnist dataset.

Test 2 (fashion-mnist -> fashion-mnist)

Code to run the test

$ python main.py --model=capsule_dynamic --data=fashion-mnist 

$ python main.py --is_train=False --model=capsule_dynamic --data=fashion-mnist 

Trained fashion-mnist images Reconstructed fashion-mnist images

Model	Parameters	Test Accuracy
baseline_network	13.2M	89.94%
capsule_dynamic	8.2M	89.02%

Both baseline_network and capsule_dynamic networks achieved about 89% accuracy on the fashion-mnist dataset. This result was obtained after training the network for 5 epochs. Higher accuracy is expected when the network is trained more than 5 epochs.

Test 3 (smallNORB(random crop) -> smallNORB(center crop))

size of the input(in main.py) should be changed to 32x32 before running this test
Code to run the test

$ python main.py --model=capsule_dynamic --data=small_norb

$ python main.py --is_train=False --model=capsule_dynamic --data=small_norb

Trained randomly cropped 32x32 small_norb images Tested center cropped 32x32 small_norb images

Model	Parameters	Test Accuracy
baseline_network	19.3M	99.16%
capsule_dynamic	8.3M	99.56%

Test 4 (cifar10 -> cifar10)

size of the input(in main.py) should be changed to 32x32 before running this test
Code to run the test

$ python main.py --model=capsule_dynamic --data=cifar10

$ python main.py --is_train=False --model=capsule_dynamic --data=cifar10

Trained randomly cropped 32x32 cifar10 images Tested center cropped 32x32 cifar10 images

Model	Parameters	Test Accuracy
baseline_network	19.3M	67.42%
capsule_dynamic	11.7M	69.82%

Test 5 (mnist -> mnist(rotated))

Code to run the test

$ python main.py --model=capsule_dynamic --data=mnist

$ python main.py --is_train=False --model=capsule_dynamic --data=mnist --rotate=True

Trained mnist images Tested randomly rotated mnist images

Model	Parameters	Test Accuracy
baseline_network	13.2M	74.10 %
capsule_dynamic	8.2M	77.68 %

The baseline_network(CNN) and capsule_dynamic(CapsNet with dynamic routing) models were first trained on the normal 28x28 mnist dataset. Both network achieved high accuracy on the test set (both close to 99%).

Two models were then tested on randomly rotated(-30 to +30) mnist test set. The baseline_network achieved 74.10% accuracy and a capsule_dynamic model achieved 77.68% accuracy.

Test 6 (mnist -> affnist)

size of the input(in main.py) should be changed to 40x40 before running this test
Code to run the test

$ python main.py --model=capsule_dynamic --data=mnist --random_pos=True

$ python main.py --is_train=False --model=capsule_dynamic --data=affnist

Trained randomly positioned 40x40 mnist images Tested 40x40 affnist images

Model	Parameters	Test Accuracy
baseline_network	35.4M	61.70 %
capsule_dynamic	13.5M	75.89 %

This test runs two models on 40x40 randomly placed mnist images. No affine transformation is applied other than translation and natural transformation seen in the standard mnist. This test is performed to test the robustness of the capsule network to affine transformations.

Comparing the baseline network with capsule network with dynamic routing shows similar result as mentioned in the CapsNet paper. The baseline network achieves 61.70% accuracy and the capsule network achieves 75.89% accuray.

ToDo

• Implement Matrix Capsules with EM Routing
