Pytorch:Apply cross entropy loss with custom weight map

Question

I am solving multi-class segmentation problem using u-net architecture in pytorch. As specified in U-NET paper, I am trying to implement custom weight maps to counter class imbalances.

Below is the opertion which I want to apply -

Also, I reduced the batch_size=1 so that I can remove that dimension while passing it to precompute_to_masks function. I tried the below approach-

def precompute_for_image(masks):
    masks = masks.cpu()
    cls = masks.unique()
    res = torch.stack([torch.where(masks==cls_val, torch.tensor(1), torch.tensor(0)) for cls_val in cls])
    return res

def train(n_epochs, loaders, model, optimizer, criterion, use_cuda, save_path):

        ###################
        # train the model #
        ###################
        model.train()
        for batch_idx, (data, target) in enumerate(final_train_loader):
            # move to GPU
            if use_cuda:
                data, target = data.cuda(), target.cuda()
            optimizer.zero_grad()
            output = model(data)
            temp_target = precompute_for_image(target)
            w = weight_map(temp_target)
            loss = criterion(output,target)
            loss = w*loss
            loss.backward()
            optimizer.step()

            train_loss = train_loss + ((1 / (batch_idx + 1)) * (loss.data - train_loss))

    return model

where weight_map is the function to calculate weight mask which I got from here The issue, I am facing is I am getting memory error when I apply the following method.
I am using 61gb RAM and Tesla V100 GPU. I really think I am applying it in incorrect way. How to do it?
I am omitting the non-essential details from the training loop. Below is my weight_map function:

from skimage.segmentation import find_boundaries

w0 = 10
sigma = 5

def make_weight_map(masks):
    """
    Generate the weight maps as specified in the UNet paper
    for a set of binary masks.

    Parameters
    ----------
    masks: array-like
        A 3D array of shape (n_masks, image_height, image_width),
        where each slice of the matrix along the 0th axis represents one binary mask.

    Returns
    -------
    array-like
        A 2D array of shape (image_height, image_width)

    nrows, ncols = masks.shape[1:]

    X1, Y1 = np.c_[X1.ravel(), Y1.ravel()].T
    for i, mask in enumerate(masks):
        # find the boundary of each mask,
        # compute the distance of each pixel from this boundary
        bounds = find_boundaries(mask, mode='inner')
        X2, Y2 = np.nonzero(bounds)

    if distMap.shape[1] == 1:
        d1 = distMap.ravel()

    else:
        if distMap.shape[1] == 2:

    w_0 = 1 - w_1
    loss[masks.sum(0) == 1] = w_1
    loss[masks.sum(0) == 0] = w_0
    ZZ = xBLoss + loss
    return ZZ

Answer 1

Your final_train_loader provides you with an input image data and the expected pixel-wise labeling target. I assume (following pytorch's conventions) that data is of shape B-3-H-W and of dtype=torch.float.
More importantly, target is of shape B-H-W and of dtype=torch.long.

On the other hand make_weight_map expects its input to be C-H-W (with C = number of classes, NOT batch size), of type numpy array.

Try providing make_weight_map the input mask as it expects it and see if you get similar errors.
I also recommend that you visualize the resulting weight map - to make sure your function does what you expect it to do.
