Setup and Dependencies

This code is implemented using PyTorch v1.6.0, and provides out of the box support with CUDA 10.1 and CuDNN 7.6.5.

Anaconda / Miniconda is the recommended to set up this codebase.

Anaconda or Miniconda

Clone this repository and create an environment:

git clone https://www.github.com/taesunwhang/UMS-ResSel
conda create -n ums_ressel python=3.7

# activate the environment and install all dependencies
conda activate ums_ressel
cd UMS-ResSel

# https://pytorch.org
pip install torch==1.6.0+cu101 -f https://download.pytorch.org/whl/torch_stable.html
pip install -r requirements.txt
