Isn't it pointless to set a fixed random seed? It does help to generate the same order of indices for splitting the training set and validation set. But the SubsetRandomSampler does not use the seed, thus each batch sampled for training will be different every time.

@songkangsg I'm setting the seed exactly for that purpose: to have the same validation set all the time. I don't care about the order in which I receive the validation images. The goal is to compute a mean validation accuracy and loss.

The mean and std you adopted in this script are for ImageNet not CIFAR10 or CIFAR100

@sunkevin1214 nice catch! Fixed it now.

Using this I have len(train_loader.dataset) = len(val_loader.dataset)=60000, which is wrong.

@kevinzakka

@tan1889 that's because they both use the same underlying dataset, but a different sampler. You need to do len(train_loader.sampler) instead.

@kevinzakka
im trying the pytorch firstly.
i used to use the keras and the dataset has 3 parts , train,valid,test.
but when i check the https://github.com/pytorch/examples/blob/master/mnist/main.py, it has train function and test function .
I cannot find the valid_dataset,only the train_loader and test_loader
So i think that the valid_dataset doesn't to exist.
It confused me now.
Do you give me some explainations? thanks

The normalisation should only be done on the training set.But here the normalization is on the whole set. It should be a problem

@huangchaoxing validation and test sets should be normalized with train set statistics.

@sytelus the validation data is taken from the training set. The test set is untouched at all times.

Hey Kevin and thanks for the gist.
I had a quick question about the valid_loader. How do you make sure that the validation sampler sweeps all the samples in the validation set exactly once? My understanding is that it takes batches of the provided indices randomly! so if we execute

for images, labels in valid_loader: ...

to for example compute the loss and accuracy over the validation (feed batch by batch and average), it will not do it correctly as it doesn't sweep the whole set once. Am I correct?

@amobiny I think you have sampler and dataloader confused. The dataloader traverses the entire data set in batches. It selects the samples from the batch using the sampler. The sampler can be sequential so say for a batch of 4 and a dataset of size 32 you'd have [0, 1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6, 7], etc until [28, 29, 30, 31]. In our case, the sampler is random and without replacement, in which case you'd have possibly something like [17, 1, 12, 31], [2, 8, 18, 28], etc. that would still cover the whole validation set. Does that make sense?

why does train & val not have same statistics usually for normalizing?

also the pytorch tutorials use 0.5 as opposte to:

test:

    normalize = transforms.Normalize(
        mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406],
        std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225],
    )

and
train

    normalize = transforms.Normalize(
        mean=[0.4914, 0.4822, 0.4465],
        std=[0.2023, 0.1994, 0.2010],
    )

why?

    )

why?

I can't speak the choice of transform used here, but from my own testing I will say that the transform applied to the train set should be the same as that of the test set. Prior to doing this, I was getting inconsistent accuracies on the test set when compared to the validation set. I chose to set both to

    normalize = transforms.Normalize(
        mean=[0.4914, 0.4822, 0.4465],
        std=[0.2023, 0.1994, 0.2010],
    )
