In this tutorial, we provide some tips on how to conduct self-supervised learning on your own dataset(without the need of label).

## Train MAE on Custom Dataset

In MMSelfSup, We support the `CustomDataset` from MMClassification(similar to the `ImageFolder` in `torchvision`),  which is able to read the images within the specified folder directly. You only need to prepare the path information of the custom dataset and edit the config.

### Get the path of custom dataset

It should be like `data/custom_dataset/`

### Choose one config as template

Here, we would like to use `configs/selfsup/mae/mae_vit-base-p16_8xb512-coslr-400e_in1k.py` as the example. We first copy this config file and rename it as `mae_vit-base-p16_8xb512-coslr-400e_${custom_dataset}.py`.

The content of this config is:

```python
_base_ = [
    '../_base_/models/mae_vit-base-p16.py',
    '../_base_/datasets/imagenet_mae.py',
    '../_base_/schedules/adamw_coslr-200e_in1k.py',
    '../_base_/default_runtime.py',
]

# dataset 8 x 512
train_dataloader = dict(batch_size=512, num_workers=8)

# optimizer wrapper
optimizer = dict(
    type='AdamW', lr=1.5e-4 * 4096 / 256, betas=(0.9, 0.95), weight_decay=0.05)
optim_wrapper = dict(
    type='OptimWrapper',
    optimizer=optimizer,
    paramwise_cfg=dict(
        custom_keys={
            'ln': dict(decay_mult=0.0),
            'bias': dict(decay_mult=0.0),
            'pos_embed': dict(decay_mult=0.),
            'mask_token': dict(decay_mult=0.),
            'cls_token': dict(decay_mult=0.)
        }))

# learning rate scheduler
param_scheduler = [
    dict(
        type='LinearLR',
        start_factor=1e-4,
        by_epoch=True,
        begin=0,
        end=40,
        convert_to_iter_based=True),
    dict(
        type='CosineAnnealingLR',
        T_max=360,
        by_epoch=True,
        begin=40,
        end=400,
        convert_to_iter_based=True)
]

# runtime settings
# pre-train for 400 epochs
train_cfg = dict(max_epochs=400)
default_hooks = dict(
    logger=dict(type='LoggerHook', interval=100),
    # only keeps the latest 3 checkpoints
    checkpoint=dict(type='CheckpointHook', interval=1, max_keep_ckpts=3))

# randomness
randomness = dict(seed=0, diff_rank_seed=True)
resume = True
```

### Edit the dataset related config

The dataset related config is defined in `'../_base_/datasets/imagenet_mae.py'` in `_base_`. We then copy the content of dataset config file into our created file `mae_vit-base-p16_8xb512-coslr-400e_${custom_dataset}.py`.

- Then we remove the `'../_base_/datasets/imagenet_mae.py'` in `_base_`.
- Set the `dataset_type = 'mmcls.CustomDataset'`, and the path of the custom dataset ` data_root = /dataset/my_custom_dataset`.
- Remove the `ann_file` in `train_dataloader`, and edit the `data_prefix` if needed.

```{note}
The `CustomDataset` is implemented in MMClassification, and we set the `dataset_type=mmcls.CustomDataset`.
```

And the edited config will be like this:

```python
# >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Start of Changed >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
_base_ = [
    '../_base_/models/mae_vit-base-p16.py',
    # '../_base_/datasets/imagenet_mae.py',
    '../_base_/schedules/adamw_coslr-200e_in1k.py',
    '../_base_/default_runtime.py',
]

# custom dataset
dataset_type = 'mmcls.CustomDataset'

data_root = 'data/custom_dataset/'
file_client_args = dict(backend='disk')
train_pipeline = [
    dict(type='LoadImageFromFile', file_client_args=file_client_args),
    dict(
        type='RandomResizedCrop',
        size=224,
        scale=(0.2, 1.0),
        backend='pillow',
        interpolation='bicubic'),
    dict(type='RandomFlip', prob=0.5),
    dict(type='PackSelfSupInputs', meta_keys=['img_path'])
]

# dataset 8 x 512
train_dataloader = dict(
    batch_size=512,
    num_workers=8,
    persistent_workers=True,
    sampler=dict(type='DefaultSampler', shuffle=True),
    collate_fn=dict(type='default_collate'),
    dataset=dict(
        type=dataset_type,
        data_root=data_root,
        # ann_file='meta/train.txt', # removed if you don't have the annotation file
        data_prefix=dict(img_path='./'),
        pipeline=train_pipeline))
# <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< End of Changed <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<


# optimizer wrapper
optimizer = dict(
    type='AdamW', lr=1.5e-4 * 4096 / 256, betas=(0.9, 0.95), weight_decay=0.05)
optim_wrapper = dict(
    type='OptimWrapper',
    optimizer=optimizer,
    paramwise_cfg=dict(
        custom_keys={
            'ln': dict(decay_mult=0.0),
            'bias': dict(decay_mult=0.0),
            'pos_embed': dict(decay_mult=0.),
            'mask_token': dict(decay_mult=0.),
            'cls_token': dict(decay_mult=0.)
        }))

# learning rate scheduler
param_scheduler = [
    dict(
        type='LinearLR',
        start_factor=1e-4,
        by_epoch=True,
        begin=0,
        end=40,
        convert_to_iter_based=True),
    dict(
        type='CosineAnnealingLR',
        T_max=360,
        by_epoch=True,
        begin=40,
        end=400,
        convert_to_iter_based=True)
]

# runtime settings
# pre-train for 400 epochs
train_cfg = dict(max_epochs=400)
default_hooks = dict(
    logger=dict(type='LoggerHook', interval=100),
    # only keeps the latest 3 checkpoints
    checkpoint=dict(type='CheckpointHook', interval=1, max_keep_ckpts=3))

# randomness
randomness = dict(seed=0, diff_rank_seed=True)
resume = True
```

By using the edited config file, you are able to train a self-supervised model with MAE algorithm on the custom dataset.

## Train MAE on COCO Dataset

```{note}
You need to install MMDetection to use the `mmdet.CocoDataset` follow this [documentation](https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection/blob/3.x/docs/en/get_started.md)
```

Follow the aforementioned idea, we also present an example of how to train MAE on COCO dataset.  The edited file will be like this:

```python

    dict(
        type='RandomResizedCrop',
        size=224,
        scale=(0.2, 1.0),
        backend='pillow',

        data_prefix=dict(img='train2017/'),
        pipeline=train_pipeline))

        end=40,
        convert_to_iter_based=True),
    dict(

## Train SimCLR on Custom Dataset

We provide an example of using SimCLR on custom dataset, the main idea is similar to the [Train MAE on Custom Dataset
](#train-mae-on-custom-dataset).

The template config is `configs/selfsup/simclr/simclr_resnet50_8xb32-coslr-200e_in1k.py`. And the edited config is:

```python

## Load pre-trained model to speedup convergence

To speedup the convergence of the model on your own dataset. You may use the pre-trained model as the initialization for the model's weight. You just need to specify the url of the pre-trained model via command. You can find our provide pre-trained checkpoint here: [Model Zoo](https://mmselfsup.readthedocs.io/en/1.x/model_zoo.html)

```bash
bash tools/dist_train.sh ${CONFIG} ${GPUS} --cfg-options model.pretrained=${PRETRAIN}
```

- `CONFIG`: the edited config path
- `GPUS`: the number of GPU
- `PRETRAIN`: the checkpoint url of pre-trained model provided by MMSelfSup
