Nan problem ( validation loss and mini batch loss) in Transfer Learning with SSD ResNet50
5 views (last 30 days)

I am trying to use SSD Resnet50 for transfer Learning on a data set (Images) with resolution of 640x360, with one class as output. I followed the example of Matlab for vehicle detection.
I set the network input size to [300 300] and kept the same options for training.
However, when training starts, the first iteration both the mini batch loss and the validation loss go to NAN.
Following suggestions and answers on this forum, I start by lowering the learning rate and I tested several values 1e-1, 1e-3, 1e-5, 1e-15, I changed also the VerboseFrequency to 50, 10 and 1 but I get the same errors (mini batch loss and the validation loss go to NAN).
I tried also to initialize the weights and the bias of the first conv layer with lower values, however I get the same error.
conv01 = convolution2dLayer([7,7],64,'Stride',2,'Padding',[3,3,3,3],'BiasLearnRateFactor',1,'name','conv1');
conv01.Weights = gpuArray(single(randn([7 7 3 64])*1e-15));
conv01.Bias = gpuArray(single(randn([1 1 64])*0.00001+1));
I tried to run the vehicle detection example and it runs perfectly, so I double checked my data, the images in my dataset is in jpg format in 8bits as in vehicle dataset.
I think I am missing something here. I have attached the script plus a screen shot of the output that shows the Nan below.
Any help is very appreciated.

I'm having the same problem, I recognize that it's a problem with the matlab ssd network itself, and after looking at the network structure, I found that there is no BatchNormalization layer in ssd network which will easily cause training results divergence.If you can add BatchNormalization layer to the net ,you can have a try ( I can't do this ,but hope someone powerful can solve the problem)
