ImageNet training in CapsuleNetwork

This implements capsule network training on the ImageNet dataset.

Requirements

Training

To train a model, run main.py with the desired model architecture and the path to the ImageNet dataset:

python main.py -a resnet18 [imagenet-folder with train and val folders]

The default learning rate schedule starts at 0.1 and decays by a factor of 10 every 30 epochs. This is appropriate for ResNet and models with batch normalization.

Multi-processing Distributed Data Parallel Training

You should always use the NCCL backend for multi-processing distributed training since it currently provides the best distributed training performance.

Single node, multiple GPUs:

python main.py -a resnet50 --dist-url 'tcp://127.0.0.1:FREEPORT' --dist-backend 'nccl' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 1 --rank 0 [imagenet-folder with train and val folders]

Multiple nodes:

Node 0:

python main.py -a resnet50 --dist-url 'tcp://IP_OF_NODE0:FREEPORT' --dist-backend 'nccl' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 2 --rank 0 [imagenet-folder with train and val folders]

Node 1:

python main.py -a resnet50 --dist-url 'tcp://IP_OF_NODE0:FREEPORT' --dist-backend 'nccl' --multiprocessing-distributed --world-size 2 --rank 1 [imagenet-folder with train and val folders]

                        fastest way to use PyTorch for either single node or
