Squeeze-and-Excitation Networks （SENet）获得了2017年ImageNet的分类冠军。
论文地址：https://arxiv.org/abs/1709.01507
本文简单介绍了SENet这篇文章，并附上了SE-ResNet基于MXNet（主要基于是gluon接口）的代码实现。

SENet中，Squeeze和Excitation是两个关键性操作，示意图如下：

第一步：Squeeze是在空间维度对特征进行压缩，即Global Average Pooling。

第二步：Excitation是用Sigmoid Function为每个特征通道生成权重，权重表示特征通道间的相关性。

第三步：Reweight操作，将Excitation生成的权重通过乘法逐通道加权到CNN提取的特征图上，完成在通道维度上的对原始特征的重标定。

SE模块可以简单地嵌入到任何神经网络当中，下面是SE-ResNet的网络结构图：

直接上代码：
这是原始的Residual Block，我们拿来做个参考

class Residual(nn.HybridBlock):
    def __init__(self, num_channels, use_1x1conv=False, strides=1, **kwargs):
        super(Residual, self).__init__(**kwargs)
        self.conv1 = nn.Conv2D(num_channels, kernel_size=3, padding=1,
                               strides=strides)
        self.conv2 = nn.Conv2D(num_channels, kernel_size=3, padding=1)
        if use_1x1conv:
            self.conv3 = nn.Conv2D(num_channels, kernel_size=1,
                                   strides=strides)
        else:
            self.conv3 = None
        self.bn1 = nn.BatchNorm()
        self.bn2 = nn.BatchNorm()

    def forward(self, X):
        Y = nd.relu(self.bn1(self.conv1(X)))
        Y = self.bn2(self.conv2(Y))
        if self.conv3:
            X = self.conv3(X)
        return nd.relu(Y + X)

重点在这里，SE-Module，为了方便理解我们把Squeeze和Excitation单独写：

def Attention(num_channels):
    net = nn.HybridSequential()
    with net.name_scope():
        net.add(
            nn.GlobalAvgPool2D(),
            nn.Dense(num_channels),
            nn.Activation('relu'),
            nn.Dense(num_channels),
            nn.Activation('sigmoid')
        )
    return net

再将SE-Module嵌入到Residual Block里面去，做一个broadcast_multiply

class SEResidual(nn.HybridBlock):
    def __init__(self, num_channels, use_1x1conv=False, strides=1, **kwargs):
        super(SEResidual, self).__init__(**kwargs)
        self.conv1 = nn.Conv2D(num_channels, kernel_size=3, padding=1,
                               strides=strides)
        self.conv2 = nn.Conv2D(num_channels, kernel_size=3, padding=1)
        if use_1x1conv:
            self.conv3 = nn.Conv2D(num_channels, kernel_size=1,
                                   strides=strides)
        else:
            self.conv3 = None
        self.bn1 = nn.BatchNorm()
        self.bn2 = nn.BatchNorm()
        self.weight = Attention(num_channels)

    def forward(self, X):
        Y = nd.relu(self.bn1(self.conv1(X)))
        Y = self.bn2(self.conv2(Y))
        W = Y
        for layer in self.weight: #W就是Attention的权重
            W = layer(W)
        if self.conv3:
            X = self.conv3(X)
        Y = nd.broadcast_mul(Y,nd.reshape(W,shape=(-1,num_channels,1,1)))
        return nd.relu(Y + X)

最后再用SE-Residual Block搭积木就好啦。
