Earlier than we end up this already lengthy put up, I needed to focus on just a few of the opposite options we constructed into the mannequin and supply some coaching code examples for these fascinated with creating their very own inpainting mannequin.

Monte Carlo Dropout

Not like conventional Bayesian strategies, we don’t immediately produce a physically-based uncertainty estimate utilizing a U-Internet. To get a tough thought of mannequin confidence and stability, we determined to introduce a dropout at inference layer to the mannequin based mostly on the work of Gal and Ghahramani, 2016 which permits us to generate a distribution of inpainted predictions for every take a look at case. These distributions enable us to provide confidence intervals for every inpainted pixel, and additional refine our estimates to areas that mannequin is extra sure of when inpainting. An instance of that is proven beneath in Fig. 17.

We usually use N=50 iterations per case, and as we will see above, the areas with the best uncertainty are usually cloud edges and cloud gaps, because the mannequin typically hallucinates when positioning these options.

Coaching Statistics

Mannequin coaching for this challenge was accomplished on two units of {hardware}, together with a Linux-based GPU computing cluster on Microsoft Azure, and a high-performance desktop operating Home windows 11 (further system particulars in Desk 1). An in depth Bayesian hyperparameter sweep was additionally carried out over the course of two days. Additional, batch normalization is utilized together with early stopping (n=20), dropout and L2 regularization (ridge regression) to assist mitigate overfitting in the course of the coaching course of. Studying charge decay can also be utilized at two epochs (450 and 475), permitting the mannequin to extra simply settle into a neighborhood loss minima close to the tip of the coaching part. All coaching runs and hyperparameter sweeps are saved on-line utilizing the Weights & Biases cloud storage choice, to watch mannequin studying charges and stability over time.
