Official repository of the paper Whitening for Self-Supervised Representation Learning
arXiv:2007.06346
It includes 3 types of losses:
- W-MSE arXiv
- Contrastive SimCLR arXiv
- BYOL arXiv
And 5 datasets:
- CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100
- STL-10
- Tiny ImageNet
- ImageNet-100
Checkpoints are stored in data each 100 epochs during training.
The implementation is optimized for a single GPU, although multiple are also supported. It includes fast evaluation: we pre-compute embeddings for the entire dataset and then train a classifier on top. The evaluation of the ResNet-18 encoder takes about one minute.
The implementation is based on PyTorch. Logging works on wandb.ai. See docker/Dockerfile.
To get this dataset, take the original ImageNet and filter out this subset of classes. We do not use augmentations during testing, and loading big images with resizing on the fly is slow, so we can preprocess classifier train and test images. We recommend mogrify for it. First, you need to resize to 256 (just like torchvision.transforms.Resize(256)) and then crop to 224 (like torchvision.transforms.CenterCrop(224)). Finally, put the original images to train, and resized to clf and test.
Detailed settings are good by default, to see all options:
python -m train --help
python -m test --help
