What does the 'cfg_map=8' mean?

[wuyuyu1024]

Hi, thanks for your work.
I'm confused what is the 'cfg_map=8' in your code? and how to use it?
And I also notice that 'cfg=auto_norp' and 'cifar_tune=1' are not included in the original code.
Could you give some annotation on those?

I mention these briefly at the top othe README of my fork. Here is a quote:

• add config auto_norp to replicate the auto config without EMA rampup,
• allow to override mapping net depth with the command-line argument --cfg_map,
• allow to enforce CIFAR-specific architecture tuning with the command-line argument --cifar_tune.

Basically, these arguments allow to override some of the parameters of the config.

If you look at the end of the paper, there is a table which I quoted in this Github issue:

--cfg_map allows to override the value of the "mapping net depth", highlighted in yellow in the table below.

--cifar_tune allow to copy some of the settings (precisely the last 3 rows) in the "+Tuning" column at the right of the table.

auto_norp is the same as auto, but without EMA (Exponential Moving Average) rampup.

Keep in mind that you may not need all of these parameters! The objective with these arguments is to make it easy to toggle these parameters ON/OFF, or to override their default value.

Personally, I have not yet settled for the optimal parameters for Steam banners, as I don't have much computing power to conduct experiments. So these arguments appear in the notebook to let you know that there is room for experiments!
