Differentially private Imagenet training
Code for the tech report Toward Training at ImageNet Scale with Differential Privacy by Alexey Kurakin, Steve Chien, Shuang Song, Roxana Geambasu, Andreas Terzis and Abhradeep Thakurta.
This is not an officially supported Google product.
Repository structure
benchmarksdirectory contains code which we used to compare performance of various DP-SGD frameworks on CIFAR10 and MNISTimagenetdirectory contains Imagenet trainign code.
Installation
-
If you are going to use NVIDIA GPU then install latest NVIDIA drivers, CUDA and CuDNN. While latest versions are not strictly necessary to run the code, we sometimes observed slower performance with older versions of CUDA and CuDNN.
-
Set up Python virtual environment with all necessary libraries:
# Create virtualenv virtualenv -p python3 ~/.venv/dp_imagenet source ~/.venv/dp_imagenet/bin/activate # Install Objax with CUDA pip install --upgrade objax pip install --upgrade jax[cuda11_cudnn82] -f https://storage.googleapis.com/jax-releases/jax_releases.html # Tensorflow and TFDS (for datasets readers) pip install tensorflow pip install tensorflow-datasets
-
Extra libraries for TF and Opacus benchmarks:
pip install tensorflow-privacy pip install opacus pip install torchvision pip install tensorboard
-
Follow instructions at https://www.tensorflow.org/datasets/catalog/imagenet2012 to download Imagenet dataset for TFDS.
Before running any code, make sure to enter virtual environment and setup PYTHONPATH:
# Enter virtual env, set up path
source ~/.venv/dp_imagenet/bin/activate
cd ${REPOSITORY_DIRECTORY}
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:.
Training Imagenet models with DP
Here are few examples showing how to run Imagenet training with and without DP:
# Resnet50 without DP
python imagenet/imagenet_train.py --tfds_data_dir="${TFDS_DATA_DIR}" --max_eval_batches=10 --eval_every_n_steps=100 --train_device_batch_size=64 --disable_dp
# Resnet18 without DP
python imagenet/imagenet_train.py --tfds_data_dir="${TFDS_DATA_DIR}" --max_eval_batches=10 --eval_every_n_steps=100 --model=resnet18 --train_device_batch_size=64 --disable_dp
# Resnet18 with DP
python imagenet/imagenet_train.py --tfds_data_dir="${TFDS_DATA_DIR}" --max_eval_batches=10 --eval_every_n_steps=100 --model=resnet18 --train_device_batch_size=64
To pre-train model on Places365 and finetune with differential privacy on Imagenet use the following commands:
# Prepare directory for Places365 checkpoint
PLACES_CHECKPOINT_DIR="${HOME}/experiments/places365"
mkdir -p "${PLACES_CHECKPOINT_DIR}"
# Pre-train model on Places365 without differential privacy
# This will train a model to about 55% accuracy on Places365
# when run on 8 GPUs.
python imagenet/imagenet_train.py \
--tfds_data_dir="${TFDS_DATA_DIR}" \
--dataset=places365 \
--eval_every_n_steps=1024 \
--model=resnet18 \
--num_train_epochs=80 \
--lr_warmup_epochs=4 \
--base_learning_rate=0.05 \
--disable_dp \
--train_device_batch_size=128 \
--model_dir="${PLACES_CHECKPOINT_DIR}"
# Prepare directory for Imagenet checkpoint
IMAGENET_DP_CHECKPOINT_DIR="${HOME}/experiments/imagenet_dp"
mkdir -p "${IMAGENET_DP_CHECKPOINT_DIR}"
# Finetune model on Imagenet with differential privacy.
# This will train a differentially private Imagenet model
# to approximately 48% accuracy with epsilon ~10, delta ~10^{-6}
# when run on 8 GPUs.
# If number of GPUs is different then adjust --grad_acc_steps argument
# such that number_of_gpus*grad_acc_steps = 512.
python imagenet/imagenet_train.py \
--tfds_data_dir="${TFDS_DATA_DIR}" \
