This is an example illustrating the use of the deep learning tools from the
dlib C++ Library. I'm assuming you have already read the dnn_mnist_ex.cpp
example. So in this example program I'm going to go over a number of more
advanced parts of the API, including:
- Using multiple GPUs
- Training on large datasets that don't fit in memory
- Defining large networks
- Accessing and configuring layers in a network

// Let's start by showing how you can conveniently define large networks. The
// most important tool for doing this are C++'s alias templates. These let us
// define new layer types that are combinations of a bunch of other layers.
// These will form the building blocks for more complex networks.
// So let's begin by defining the building block of a residual network (see
// Figure 2 in Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition by He, Zhang, Ren,
// and Sun). You can see a few things in this statement. The most obvious is
// that we have combined a bunch of layers into the name "base_res". You can
// also see the use of the tag1 layer. This layer doesn't do any computation.
// It exists solely so other layers can refer to it. In this case, the
// add_prev1 layer looks for the tag1 layer and will take the tag1 output and
// add it to the input of the add_prev1 layer. This combination allows us to
// implement skip and residual style networks.

using base_res = relu<add_prev1<bn_con<con<8,3,3,1,1,relu<bn_con<con<8,3,3,stride,stride,tag1<SUBNET>>>>>>>>;
// Let's also define the same block but with all the batch normalization layers
// replaced with affine transform layers. We will use this type of construction
// when testing our networks.
template <int stride, typename SUBNET>
using base_ares = relu<add_prev1<affine<con<8,3,3,1,1,relu<affine<con<8,3,3,stride,stride,tag1<SUBNET>>>>>>>>;
// And of course we can define more alias templates based on previously defined
// alias templates. The _down versions downsample the inputs by a factor of 2
// while the res and ares layer types don't.
template <typename SUBNET> using res = base_res<1,SUBNET>;
template <typename SUBNET> using res_down = base_res<2,SUBNET>;
template <typename SUBNET> using ares = base_ares<1,SUBNET>;
template <typename SUBNET> using ares_down = base_ares<2,SUBNET>;
// Now that we have these convenient aliases, we can define a residual network
// without a lot of typing. Note the use of a repeat layer. This special layer
// type allows us to type repeat<9,res<SUBNET>> instead of
// res<res<res<res<res<res<res<res<res<SUBNET>>>>>>>>>. It will also prevent
// the compiler from complaining about super deep template nesting when creating
// large networks.

// Create a network as defined above. This network will produce 10 outputs

// So if you wanted to use the same network but override the number of
// outputs at runtime you can do so like this:
net_type net2(num_fc_outputs(15));
// Now, let's imagine we wanted to replace some of the relu layers with
// prelu layers. We might do it like this:
using net_type2 = loss_multiclass_log<fc<number_of_classes,
avg_pool_everything<
pres<res<res<res_down< // 2 prelu layers here
tag4<repeat<9,pres, // 9 groups, each containing 2 prelu layers

res<
input<matrix<unsigned char>>
>>>>>>>>>>>;
// prelu layers have a floating point parameter. If you want to set it to
// something other than its default value you can do so like this:
net_type2 pnet(prelu_(0.2),
prelu_(0.25),
repeat_group(prelu_(0.3),prelu_(0.4)) // Initialize all the prelu instances in the repeat
// layer. repeat_group() is needed to group the
// things that are part of repeat's block.
);
// As you can see, a network will greedily assign things given to its
// constructor to the layers inside itself. The assignment is done in the
// order the layers are defined, but it will skip layers where the
// assignment doesn't make sense.

cout << "The pnet has " << pnet.num_layers << " layers in it." << endl;

// Now that we know the index numbers for each layer, we can access them
// individually using layer<index>(pnet). For example, to access the output
// tensor for the first prelu layer we can say:
layer<3>(pnet).get_output();
// Or to print the prelu parameter for layer 7 we can say:
cout << "prelu param: "<< layer<7>(pnet).layer_details().get_initial_param_value() << endl;
// We can also access layers by their type. This next statement finds the
// first tag1 layer in pnet, and is therefore equivalent to calling
// layer<10>(pnet):
layer<tag1>(pnet);
// The tag layers don't do anything at all and exist simply so you can tag
// parts of your network and access them by layer<tag>(). You can also
// index relative to a tag. So for example, to access the layer immediately
// after tag4 you can say:
layer<tag4,1>(pnet); // Equivalent to layer<35+1>(pnet).
// Or to access the layer 2 layers after tag4:
layer<tag4,2>(pnet);
// Tagging is a very useful tool for making complex network structures. For
// example, the add_prev1 layer is implemented internally by using a call to
// layer<tag1>().
// Ok, that's enough talk about defining and inspecting networks. Let's
// talk about training networks!

// different solvers like adam.

// them together to make the training faster. For example, replacing the

// and 1.

// disable them entirely by setting the shrink amount to 1.
trainer.set_iterations_without_progress_threshold(2000);
trainer.set_step_size_shrink_amount(0.1);
