Style Transfer: Getting Result as a garbage on Apple M1 Silicon iMac

[ioskevinshah]

Turicreate version: 6.4.1 Python version: 3.7 Using: Jupyter Notebook

Input image:

Output Garbage Image:

Code: import turicreate as tc

tc.config.set_num_gpus(1)

Load the style and content images styles = tc.load_images('Style/') content = tc.load_images('HumanContent/')

Create a StyleTransfer model model = tc.style_transfer.create(styles, content, max_iterations=1000, _advanced_parameters={"style_loss_mult": [1e-4, 1e-4, 1e-4, 1e-4], "pretrained_weights": True, "batch_size": 6, "finetune_all_params": True, "input_shape": (256, 256)})

Save the model for later use in Turi Create model.save('style-transfer6.model')

Export for use in Core ML model.export_coreml('MyCustomStyleTransfer6.mlmodel')

Style Zip: Style.zip

Content Zip: 500 images of human face. Content.zip

Result are same if iterations is 1k, 10k or 20k. Total Garbage.

So, I came up with this issue: https://github.com/apple/turicreate/issues/3018

They are suggesting to use CPU instead of GPU. So I did the same. tc.config.set_num_gpus(0) Kernel keep crashing/died. /// When 1 is change to 0.

Please guide me. I'm not python developer. But I was able to come up with above code by reading document and articles, their results was amazing.

What do your style images look like? That can make a big difference.

The number of iterations is also important. Is there a reason you are manually setting that instead of letting the algorithms pick it?

Hello @TobyRoseman,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Already attached Style.zip file. Please do check.

For iterations, I try with 1k, 10k and 20k but the result are same.

Algorithm say Apple M1 GPU 10k Iterations, result still garbage.

Hello @TobyRoseman,

Did you able to reproduce? Any help from my end?

hi ioskevinshah, I'd like to know how can you install turicreate on m1 mac? Could you please tell me ? I try some ways but not work for it. Thanks!

TuriCreate does not have native M1 support. You need to use Rosetta.
