Using synthetic dataset for training NVIDIA NeMo Matchbox

Does anyone has success in training small command recognition models on synthetic dataset? The full details is the following: I need a small model to run a command recognition (about 30 commands) on embedded device. It looks like NVIDIA NeMo MatchboxNet is a good solution, but I have no standard dataset covering my set of commands. The model should be adapted to a broad variation of speakers. Obtaining real dataset seems difficult. I consider using NVIDIA models like Waveglow/Flowtron to …

Is there a reason not to wirk with AMP (automatic mixed precision)?

According to: Introducing native PyTorch automatic mixed precision for faster training on NVIDIA GPUs It's better to use AMP (with 16 Floating Point) due to: Shorter training time. Lower memory requirements, enabling larger batch sizes, larger models, or larger inputs. So is there a reason not to work with FP16 ? Which models / datasets / solutions we will need to use FP32 and not FP16 ? Can I find an example in kaggle which we must use FP32 and …

GPU shows 0 utilization even when tensors and model are mounted on the gpu?

I am trying to run some PyTorch scripts on a remote GPU server. While calling the script in the ubuntu terminal i start as:CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0(or whichever is available) python3 <script.py>. Also, used the following snippet in the code and used .to(device) on the model, input and target tensors. device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu") print(device) I have confirmed that my model and data and target tensors are mounted on the cuda device. But the GPU shows 0 percentage utilization all …

DIGITS Docker container not picking up GPU

I am running DIGITS Docker container but for some reason it fails to recognize host's GPU: it does not report any GPUs (where I expect 1 to be reported) so in the upper right corner of the DIGITS home page there is no indication of any GPUs and also during the training phase, DIGITS uses only CPU. I have GeForce GT 640 graphics card: $ nvidia-smi -L GPU 0: GeForce GT 640 (UUID: GPU-f2583df9-404d-2564-d332-e7878a94d087) $ lspci ... VGA compatible controller: …

Rendered Image Denoising

I am learning about "Image Denoising using Autoencoders". So, now I want to build and train a model. Hence, when I read into how Nvidia generated the dataset, I came across: We used about 1000 different scenes and created a series of 16 progressive images for each scene. To train the denoiser, images were rendered from the scene data at 1 sample per pixel, then 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536, and …

Why doesn't this CNN model need fetures for reducing overfitting?

I found this CNN model by Nvidia end-to-end-deeplearning and with training this model, I'm wondering why this model doesn't need to have dropout layers to reduce overfitting. Neither, this doesn't have activation function. I know we can tune the number of epochs and it reduces overfitting. I'm curious why this model works better without those layers?

Is Nvidia Jetson product family also suitable for machine learing model training?

I recently came accross these products (Nvidia Jetson) and they are all tagged as "edge", so i think they are designed only for machine learning inference and not model training. They are quite interesting for their low power consumpion and price (eg: Jetson Nano) so i hope they are suitable also for model trainig. So i would ask if someone may clarify this aspect about the focus of the product.

Two different GPUs for Keras (Python)?

One question guys, someone knows if it should be ok to get one more GPU of type Nvidia Geforce GTX 1070 (gaming version), given that now I have GTX 1070 Titanium? They don't have another Titanium card available here, so I have to get a different one, but closely similar, and I wonder if for using Keras (with TensorFlow backend), will it work fine? They are not exactly the same cards, but similar enough maybe. I want 2 GPUs for …

What does images per second mean when benchmarking Deep Learning GPU?

I've been reviewing performance of several NVIDIA GPU's and I see that typically results are presented in terms of "images per second" that can be processed. Experiments are typically being performed on classical network architectures such as Alex Net or GoogLeNet. I'm wondering if a given number of images per second, say 15000, means that 15000 images can be processed by iteration or for fully learning the network with that amount of images?. I suppose that if I have 15000 …

Does it make sense to parallelize machine learning algorithms as part of PhD research?

I'm developing machine learning algorithms to aid in the diagnosis and prognosis of various cancers for my PhD. My lab is an Nvidia teaching center (CUDA). My supervisor thinks that I need to also optimize ML by parallelizing it in CUDA. However, as I see it, a model is trained once and there is no need to train again. Testing a model is also not time consuming. My interests are in ML, not Parallel Processing. 1) Should I spend a …
