This repository implements a learnable fast wavelet transform for use in machine learning models with PyTorch.
It also contains the source code used to create the experimental results, as reported in the paper Neural network compression via learnable wavelet transforms. A preprint is available here https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.09569.pdf the Springer-version at https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-61616-8_4 .
The most relevant modules are src/wavelet_learning/wavelet_linear.py
and src/wavelet_learning/learn_wave.py it's where the wavelet
optimization happens.
When using this code, please never forget to add the wavelet loss term
to the cost. See the class Net from the mnist_compression.py file
for an example of how to do that.
The src/fastfood/fastfood.py module re-implements the Hadamard-Transform
based layer as described in https://arxiv.org/abs/1412.7149 .
To repeat the experiments from the paper, run any of the run_all files
from the scripts folder in python.
Running $ python scripts/run_all_mnist.py for example, repeats the MNIST
CNN experiments from the paper.
Overall the performance is equivalent to state-of-the-art approaches,
like the Hadamard transform based layer, with extra flexibility.
