Embedding Propagation

Smoother Manifold for Few-Shot Classification [Paper] (ECCV2020)

Embedding propagation can be used to regularize the intermediate features so that generalization performance is improved.

Usage

Add an embedding propagation layer to your network.

pip install git+https://github.com/ElementAI/embedding-propagation
import torch
from embedding_propagation import EmbeddingPropagation

ep = EmbeddingPropagation()
features = torch.randn(32, 32)
embeddings = ep(features)

Experiments

Generate the results from the [Paper].

Install requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

This command installs the Haven library which helps in managing the experiments.

Download the Datasets

If you have the pkl version of miniimagenet, you can still use it by setting the dataset name to "episodic_miniimagenet_pkl", in each of the files in exp_configs.

Reproduce the results in the paper

1. Pre-training

python3 trainval.py -e pretrain -sb ./logs/pretraining -d <datadir>

where <datadir> is the directory where the data is saved.

2. Fine-tuning

In exp_configs/finetune_exps.py, set "pretrained_weights_root": ./logs/pretraining/

python3 trainval.py -e finetune -sb ./logs/finetuning -d <datadir>

3. SSL experirments with 100 unlabeled

In exp_configs/ssl_exps.py, set "pretrained_weights_root": ./logs/finetuning/

python3 trainval.py -e ssl_large -sb ./logs/ssl/ -d <datadir>

4. SSL experirments with 20-100% unlabeled

In exp_configs/ssl_exps.py, set "pretrained_weights_root": ./logs/finetuning/

python3 trainval.py -e ssl_small -sb ./logs/ssl/ -d <datadir>

Different from the paper, these results were obtained on a run with fixed hyperparameters during fine-tuning: lr=0.001, alpha=0.2 (now default), train_iters=600, classification_weight=0.1
