The conda software is required for running the code. Generate a new environment with
$ conda create --name cfscil_env python=3.6
$ conda activate cfscil_env
We need PyTorch 1.3 and CUDA.
$ (cfscil_env) conda install pytorch=1.3 torchvision cudatoolkit=10.1 -c pytorch
$ (cfscil_env) pip install -r requirements.txt
We provide the code for running experiments on miniImageNet and CIFAR100. The experiments for Omniglot have been conducted in a different framework, and cannot be released. However, we provide our split under data/index_list/omniglot as well as a dataloader under code/lib/dataloader/FSCIL/omniglot.
We follow the FSCIL setting to use the same data index_list for training. For CIFAR100, the dataset will be download automatically. For miniImageNet, you can download the dataset here. Please put the downloaded file under code/data/ folder and unzip it.
$ (cfscil_env) cd code/data/
$ (cfscil_env) gdown 1_x4o0iFetEv-T3PeIxdSbBPUG4hFfT8U
$ (cfscil_env) tar -xvf miniimagenet.tar
The whole simulator is runnable from the command line via the code/main.py script which serves as a command parser. Everything should be run from the code directory.
The structure of any command looks like
$ (cfscil_env) python main.py command [subcommand(s)] [-option(s)] [argument(s)]
and help can be found for every command and subcommand by adding a trailing --help. The main.py file also contains all default parameters used for simulations.
To run a single simulation of the model (incl. training, validation, testing), use the simulation command. A logging directory should be specified, in case the default path is not wanted. Any simulation parameter that should be different from the default found in main.py can be specified by chaining -p parameter value pairs.
$ (cfscil_env) python main.py simulation --logdir path/to/logdir -p parameter_1 value_1 -p parameter_2 value_2All parameters are interpreted as strings and translated by the parser, so no "s are needed. Boolean parameters' value can be specified as t, true, f or false.
Run main experiments on CIFAR100
