Overview

Code to accompany: "Data Isotopes for Data Provenance in DNNs".

---

Requirements

This repository uses a conda environment. To set it up (assuming conda is installed):

$ conda env create --name=venv --file=environment.yml
$ conda activate venv

Our code uses the ffcv library to train CIFAR100 models, so you will have to ensure your system is compatible with that library.

---

Running the code

This codebase provides code to reproduce results for GTSRB, CIFAR100 and PubFig datasets as shown in the original paper. It also supports running experiments on CIFAR10 (not evaluated in original paper). We have provided config files to recreate specific experiments (see the reproducing experiments section below.) Below, we provide general information on setting up the codebase.

Setup

Datasets

• The GTSRB dataset can be downloaded from here.
• The CIFAR10 and CIFAR100 datasets will be automatically downloaded when you run the code.
• The version of the PubFig dataset we use can be downloaded from here.
• The FaceScrub dataset can be obtained here. We align our version of Scrub using MTCNN. Additionally, you will need to update the tr_folder and ts_folder parameters in the config/scrub/*.yml files to ensure they point to your local Scrub dataset on your local host.

Models/training settings

Each dataset has an associated folder in ./configs. There is a default.yaml file in each config folder, which contains the default model and training parameters for each dataset (see Table 6 in the paper Appendix) in the single and multi-tag setting.

If you want to train the PubFig model, you need to download the SphereFace model checkpoint from this link and put it in src/models/.

Isotope marks

• Our code supports four types of marks, shown in Figure 6 of the paper: random pixels, pixels square, blend, and Imagenet blend.
• To use the Imagenet blend mark, you will also need to (1) download the Imagenet validation dataset from this link and (2) set the imagenet_path variable in configs/default.yaml to point towards the folder containing the Imagenet validation data (or you can add an additional argument --imagenet_path <Imagenet validation data path> when running experiments).

---

Running experiments

To run one-off experiments with our code, you use the main.py script, which accepts command line arguments specifying the dataset, mark type, model, training settings, etc.

However, it would be easier for you to write your own .yml files containing the experiments you want to run. Then, you can use the run_on_gpus.py script to load the .yml file and associated experiment settings and run this experiment.

Single experiment example: For example, if one wanted to recreate the multi-mark CIFAR100 experiments in Figure 10 of our paper, they could run the following command python3 run_on_gpus.py configs/cifar100/multi/default.yaml --gpu_ls 0 --max_gpu_num 1. This will run the experiment on gpu 0 of your localhost.

Multi-processing example: If you want to easily spread the work among different GPUs, run python3 run_on_gpus.py configs/cifar100/multi/default.yaml --gpu_ls 0123 --max_gpu_num 4. Assuming you have $4$ gpus on your system, this will launch $1$ run on each GPU and wait until it finds an empty GPU before it starts the next run in the list.

Reproducing results

If you want to reproduce the key evaluation experiments from Sections 5.2 and 5.3 in our paper, use the table below to map specific experiments to specific .yaml files in the configs folder. The .yaml files have the same name for each dataset (if the dataset is used for that experiment), so if you want to run experiment Z for dataset X in setting Y (single or multi tag), you would run something like python3 run_on_gpus.py ./config/X/Y/Z.yaml --gpu_ls 01 --max_gpu_num 2.
