Lesson 1: Deep Learning 2019 – Image classification

The key outcome of lesson 1 is that we’ll have trained an image classifier which can recognize pet breeds at state of the art accuracy. The key to this success is the use of *transfer learning*, which will be a key platform for much of this course. We’ll also see how to analyze the model to understand its failure modes. In this case, we’ll see that the places where the model is making mistakes is in the same areas that even breeding experts can make mistakes.

We’ll discuss the overall approach of the course, which is somewhat unusual in being *top-down* rather than *bottom-up*. So rather than starting with theory, and only getting to practical applications later, instead we start with practical applications, and then gradually dig deeper and deeper in to them, learning the theory as needed. This approach takes more work for teachers to develop, but it’s been shown to help students a lot, for example in education research at Harvard (https://www.gse.harvard.edu/news/uk/09/01/education-bat-seven-principles-educators) by David Perkins.

We also discuss how to set the most important *hyper-parameter* when training neural networks: the *learning rate*, using Leslie Smith’s fantastic *learning rate finder* method. Finally, we’ll look at the important but rarely discussed topic of *labeling*, and learn about some of the features that fastai provides for allowing you to easily add labels to your images.

Note that to follow along with the lessons, you’ll need to connect to a cloud GPU provider which has the fastai library installed (recommended; it should take only 5 minutes or so, and cost under $0.50/hour), or set up a computer with a suitable GPU yourself (which can take days to get working if you’re not familiar with the process, so we don’t recommend it). You’ll also need to be familiar with the basics of the *Jupyter Notebook* environment we use for running deep learning experiments. Up to date tutorials and recommendations for these are available from the course website (http://course.fast.ai).

  4. Very useful video. One question. If we are building a world class image classifier should not we use a capsule network instead of a CNN??

  6. 1:02:49 About Splunk, if a fraud detection problem is recast as an image recognition, could this suffer from adversarial attack? I.e. do whatever bad deeds bad guys do, then just do one little thing, that result in a few pixel or noise added, such that the network is fooled. Would be interested for security and adversarial researchers to find out.

  7. I found this video after spending a week reading through tensorflow. . I am someone who just wants to use machine learning as a tool like a hammer for some projects and fastai seems exactly that. I can't wait to see what this becomes

  13. Is there a version with better audio? The compression creates many high pitch artifacts, and is pretty hard/uncomfortable to listen to in general.

  14. If someone encounters error like Name ConvLearner() not defined, then use cnn_leaner(). Earlier u could have also used create_cnn().

  17. I came here to complain about the sound, figuring I would be the only one as it was a small detail. Forgot this video's target market are developers 😀

  22. I am currently working on the construction and study of neural networks. So I was thinking if an algorithm like this could be able to generate music. For this reason I have created 3 different Ai models (a Feed Forward LSTM, an autoencoder and an autoencoder with attention) with different parameters (cell size) and with different training datasets (one form classical piano, one from guitar and one with both instruments) and I have created a game(on this link: http://geofila.pythonanywhere.com/vote ) where you have to listen to pieces and try to figure out which one is made from a computer and which one from a human. All of the code is free on github. Separation in my opinion is not so simple. I look forward to see your results.

  30. Hi, thanks for this wonderfull and helpfuull post. But, please I am running the following line of code :
    path= untar_data(URLs.PETS);path

    And here is what is I am getting:

    EmptyHeaderError Traceback (most recent call last)

    ~Anaconda3libtarfile.py in next(self)
    ……..
    …………
    ……………..
    ReadError: empty file.

    I could not find any solution online. Anyone to help? thanks in advance

  31. "all our doc is also code" — f'ing awesome!
    When I run learn. fit_one_cycle(4) , my kernel dies. Can somebody help me?
    Really good explanation. Better than V2. Sad that the audio quality at the end went bad.

  36. I just finished a Master's in Software Eng… I much prefer the way things are taught in this course and I am finally learning what I wanted to during my education! Following this course during the confinement!

  38. Hey guys! In the video Jeremy says his results took only 4 minutes to compute, whilst for one cycle I'm getting 15 minutes.

    I assume I'm not using my GPU here but I don't know how to do this. I'm using the fastai library although I have pytorch installed too. Using Google Colab for this.

    Any help is much appreciated!

  42. hi i suffer with below problem, my Accuracy Precision and recall and F_beta is same so i what i do…
    from fastai.metrics import accuracy,Precision,Recall,FBeta
    learn = cnn_learner(data, models.vgg16_bn, metrics=accuracy)
    learn
    learn.metrics=[accuracy,
    Precision(average='macro'),
    Recall(average='macro'),
    FBeta(average='macro')]

    epoch train_loss valid_loss accuracy precision recall f_beta time
    0 1.193228 0.408133 0.840741 0.850517 0.840709 0.840866 02:35
    1 0.816444 0.280234 0.875926 0.876151 0.876655 0.876534 00:35

  43. that was a lesson on image classification? really? maybe you should change the title to course intro, success stories from google, stanford etc., intro to fast bla bla and tiny little baby steps in image classification…

  45. on path.ls()
    i am getting[WindowsPath('C:/Users/rajve/.fastai/data/oxford-iiit-pet/images')]
    instead of [images ,annotations]
    those files have been downloaded in my folder pc but i am not able use them

    so
    what to do?

  49. I really appreciate the top-down approach as it enables you to see results faster which keeps you motivated. Just the perfect fit for people who are on the practitioner side of things. Keep it up!

  50. Another simple way to try transfer learning for image classification on your task even without writing any code is an Android app called Pocket AutoML. It trains a model right on your phone so it can even work offline.
