feat(networks): opt-in native-resolution deep supervision output for DynUNet - #9127
feat(networks): opt-in native-resolution deep supervision output for DynUNet
Summary
DynUNet is documented as an nnU-Net reimplementation, but its deep supervision differs from the reference in
three ways (raised in discussion #3149): supervision heads are always upsampled with nearest-neighbour
interpolation and stacked on dim 1, head count is capped by deep_supr_num, and the network applies no
per-level weighting. nnU-Net keeps each head at its native resolution, downsamples the target instead,
supervises every decoder stage, and weights levels with a normalized 1/2**level schedule (deepest dropped).
This change does two things:
Documents the divergence in the DynUNet docstring — an explicit "architecture only, full pipeline in monai.apps.nnunet" pointer plus a differences paragraph covering interpolation, head count, weighting, and
bias — and fixes the stale tutorials link (tree/master/ → tree/main/; main is the tutorials repo's
default branch).
Adds an opt-in deep_supr_output="stack"|"list" argument."list" returns [final, head_1, ..., head_k] with each head at its native resolution, highest first, which is exactly the
layout monai.losses.DeepSupervisionLoss expects — so users can reproduce nnU-Net-style supervision (or
any custom loss) without hand-rolling hooks. The default "stack" is untouched: outputs are
bit-identical to before for a fixed seed.

Changes
monai/networks/nets/dynunet.py
Docstring: divergence + ownership paragraphs after the paper citations, and the link fix:
`Optimized U-Net for Brain Tumor Segmentation <https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.03352.pdf>`_.
+ This is the network architecture only; for the full nnU-Net pipeline (planning, preprocessing, training,+ ensembling) see :py:mod:`monai.apps.nnunet`.++ Differences from the reference nnU-Net network: deep supervision heads are optional and limited by+ ``deep_supr_num`` (nnU-Net supervises every decoder stage); by default their low-resolution logits are+ upsampled with nearest-neighbour interpolation and stacked, whereas nnU-Net keeps each output at its native+ resolution and downsamples the target instead (``deep_supr_output="list"`` gives that behaviour, to be used+ with :py:class:`monai.losses.DeepSupervisionLoss`); no per-level loss weighting is built in (nnU-Net uses a+ normalized ``1/2**level`` schedule with the deepest level dropped; here weighting is left to the loss);+ convolutions have no bias, which is immaterial before affine instance norm.
New argument (appended last, so positional callers and existing checkpoints are unaffected), validated loudly,
plus an Args entry:
res_block: bool = False,
trans_bias: bool = False,
+ deep_supr_output: str = "stack",
):
...
self.deep_supervision = deep_supervision
self.deep_supr_num = deep_supr_num
+ if deep_supr_output not in ("stack", "list"):+ raise ValueError(f"deep_supr_output should be 'stack' or 'list', got {deep_supr_output!r}.")+ self.deep_supr_output = deep_supr_output
forward gains the list branch; the stack path is unchanged. The union return type is declared explicitly
(which is also what TorchScript keys on), and the first assignment is annotated so the declared return stays
typed (mypy warn_return_any):
- def forward(self, x):+ def forward(self, x: torch.Tensor) -> torch.Tensor | list[torch.Tensor]:+ out: torch.Tensor = self.skip_layers(x)
out = self.output_block(out)
if self.training and self.deep_supervision:
+ if self.deep_supr_output == "list":+ return [out] + list(self.heads)
out_all = [out]
for feature_map in self.heads:
out_all.append(interpolate(feature_map, out.shape[2:]))
list(self.heads) copies per call, so replicas (e.g. DataParallel) never alias the returned list.
tests/networks/nets/test_dynunet.py
TEST_CASE_DEEP_SUPERVISION_LIST: a 24-case grid (spatial_dims × res_block × deep_supr_num × three
stride families) asserting the exact shape of every element of the list. Expected head resolutions are
derived from the cumulative products of the encoder's actual downsample strides (strides[1:-1]) — not 2**level, which is wrong for anisotropic strides that contain 1s (e.g. (1, 2, 1, 2, 1) puts the first
two heads at //2, //2).
test_with_deep_supervision_loss: list output → DeepSupervisionLoss(DiceCELoss(...)) → finite scalar, backward() succeeds, and every supervision head's parameters received a gradient.
test_eval_returns_single_tensor: eval mode still returns one Tensor.
test_invalid_deep_supr_output: invalid value raises ValueError naming the value.
test_list_output_ignored_without_deep_supervision: "list" with deep_supervision=False still returns a
single Tensor (the argument is scoped to deep supervision, as documented).
Testing
Unit:python -m unittest tests.networks.nets.test_dynunet → 58 tests OK (1 pre-existing CUDA-only
NVFuser skip). python -m unittest tests.losses.test_ds_loss tests.networks.nets.test_segresnet_ds → 94 OK
(covers the loss-side integration and the list-returning TorchScript precedent; both untouched).
Lint/format:./runtests.sh --ruff, ./runtests.sh --copyright (1370 files), black --check / isort --check on the changed files → pass.
Type check:pyrefly check and mypy on the changed files → clean; the reported error set is
byte-identical to the base branch.
Docs:make html in docs/ → build succeeded (new docstring renders; :py:class:/ :py:mod: cross-references resolve).
Behaviour: default "stack" output is bit-identical to base for a fixed seed; "list" yields
native-resolution heads (e.g. 32/16/8³ for strides [1, 2, 2, 2, 1]) that are not nearest-upsampled
blocks; one Adam step through DeepSupervisionLoss completes with gradients on all heads; eval returns a
single tensor; an invalid value fails loudly.
Notes for reviewers
Tool assistance: This contribution was prepared with assistance from OpenAI Codex and reviewed by the
submitting author, who takes responsibility for the submitted code and description.
Argument shape:deep_supr_output is a string mode (leaves room for future formats, matches upsample_mode-style APIs). Happy to switch to a boolean (deep_supr_native_output: bool) if preferred —
called out as an open question during scoping.
TorchScript: the default (deep-supervision-off) path scripts as before and is covered by the existing test_script. Scripting a deep_supervision=True DynUNet already fails on the base branch inside DynUNetSkipLayer (Optional[List[Tensor]] vs _set_item, needs local-variable refinement) — reproduced
identically with and without this change, so no script test was added for the list mode: no DS-enabled
DynUNet can be scripted today either way. That pre-existing bug deserves its own issue.
DataParallel: list gather is the standard path but was not exercised locally (no multi-GPU).
DynUNet adds a deep_supr_output option with "stack" and "list" modes. During training with deep supervision, list mode returns the final output and native-resolution supervision heads. Invalid modes raise ValueError. The existing stacked output path remains. Tests cover output shapes, loss and gradients, evaluation, and disabled supervision. Documentation updates the network description and tutorial URL.
The new output mode appears mergeable with bounded documentation work: clarify when outputs are stacked and document the changed definitions.

Explanation
The title names the main change: an opt-in native-resolution deep supervision output (deep_supr_output="list") for DynUNet. It is specific, follows the conventional commit style, and matches the changeset. It also omits the docstring and tutorial-link edits, which is acceptable.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description follows the template. It has a summary, a types-of-changes section with the relevant boxes checked, and a testing section. It explains the changes to dynunet.py and the tests. The 'Fixes #' line is missing an issue number, and the template's 'Description' heading is replaced by 'Summary'. The 'Integration tests' and 'Quick tests' boxes are unchecked, which is consistent with the testing notes. The required content is present, so the check passes.

…DynUNet
Deep supervision heads were always upsampled (nearest) and stacked on dim 1, while the reference nnU-Net keeps each head at its native resolution and downsamples the target instead. Add deep_supr_output="stack"|"list" (default "stack", behaviour unchanged) so the native-resolution form can go straight to DeepSupervisionLoss, and document how the network diverges from nnU-Net: architecture-only pointer to monai.apps.nnunet, weighting left to the loss, tutorial link fixed to the tutorials repo main branch.

Review comment at @monai/networks/nets/dynunet.py at line 72:
Update the bias description in the DynUNet documentation to apply only to
intermediate convolutions before affine instance normalization; do not imply
that the output head or transposed convolutions always lack bias, since they can
use bias.
The two channels are sampled independently. A pixel can therefore have zero or two active classes. DiceCELoss passes this floating target to cross-entropy, which expects class probabilities to sum to one but does not enforce that constraint. Generate class indices and convert them to a one-hot target before testing the loss integration. (docs.pytorch.org)

Update the loss test target generation to sample one class index per pixel and
convert those indices into a two-channel one-hot target before passing it to
DiceCELoss, ensuring exactly one active class at each pixel.
The deep_supervision description presents interpolation, stacking, and torch.unbind as unconditional. In deep_supr_output="list" mode, the outputs remain a list of native-resolution tensors. Scope this guidance to deep_supr_output="stack".
Suggested documentation fix
- In order to unify the return type (the restriction of TorchScript), all intermediate- feature maps are interpolated into the same size as the final feature map and stacked together+ With ``deep_supr_output="stack"``, all intermediate feature maps are interpolated into the+ same size as the final feature map and stacked together
@@
- When calculating the loss, you can use torch.unbind to get all feature maps can compute the loss- one by one with the ground truth, then do a weighted average for all losses to achieve the final loss.+ In ``deep_supr_output="stack"`` mode, use ``torch.unbind`` to obtain the feature maps for loss+ calculation.
