binary_net by chainer

This is an experimental code for reproducing [1]'s result using chainer. No optimization is used for binary operations. I just binalize weight and activation at computation, and use a straight through estimator for gradient computation.

  • [1] "BinaryNet: Training Deep Neural Networks with Weights and Activations Constrained to +1 or -1", Matthieu Courbariaux, Yoshua Bengio http://arxiv.org/abs/1602.02830

Code is almost equivalent to chainer/examples/mnist/ except:

  • Use binary weight, binary activation, batch_normalization (net.py, bst.py, link_binary_linear.py function_binary_linear.py)
  • Use weight clip, optimizer.add_hook(weight_clip.WeightClip()) (weight_clip.py)

Usage

# cpu
./train_mnist.py

# gpu (use device id=0)
./train_mnist.py --gpu=0
