Differentiable Data Augmentation Library

Differentiable Data Augmentation Library

This library is a core of Faster AutoAugment and its descendants. This library is research oriented, and its AIP may change in the near future.

Requirements and Installation

Requirements

Python>=3.8
PyTorch>=1.5.0
torchvision>=0.6
kornia>=0.2

Installation

pip install -U git+https://github.com/moskomule/dda

APIs

dda.functional

Basic operations that can be differentiable w.r.t. the magnitude parameter mag. When mag=0, no augmentation is applied, and when mag=1 (and mag=-1 if it exists), the severest augmentation is applied. As introduced in Faster AutoAugment, some operations use straight-through estimator to be differentiated w.r.t. their magnitude parameters.

def operation(img: torch.Tensor,
              mag: Optional[torch.Tensor]) -> torch.Tensor:
    ...

dda.pil contains the similar APIs using PIL (not differentiable).

dda.operations

class Operation(nn.Module):
   
    def __init__(self,
                 initial_magnitude: Optional[float] = None,
                 initial_probability: float = 0.5,
                 magnitude_range: Optional[Tuple[float, float]] = None,
                 probability_range: Optional[Tuple[float, float]] = None,
                 temperature: float = 0.1,
                 flip_magnitude: bool = False,
                 magnitude_scale: float = 1,
                 debug: bool = False):
        ...

If magnitude_range=None, probability_range=None, then magnitude, probability is not Parameter but Buffer, respectively.

magnitude moves in magnitude_scale * magnitude_range. For example, dda.operations.Rotation has magnitude_range=[0, 1] and magnitude_scale=30 so that magnitude is between 0 to 30 degrees.

To differentiate w.r.t. the probability parameter, RelaxedBernoulli is used.
