Setup

Important: ML_DATA is a shell environment variable that should point to the location where the datasets are installed. See the Install datasets section for more details.

Install dependencies

sudo apt install python3-dev python3-virtualenv python3-tk imagemagick
virtualenv -p python3 --system-site-packages env3
. env3/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Install datasets

export ML_DATA="path to where you want the datasets saved"

Running

Setup

All commands must be ran from the project root. The following environment variables must be defined:

export ML_DATA="path to where you want the datasets saved"
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:.

Example

For example, training a mixmatch with 32 filters on cifar10 shuffled with seed=3, 250 labeled samples and 5000 validation samples:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python mixmatch.py --filters=32 --dataset=cifar10.3@250-5000 --w_match=75 --beta=0.75

Available labelled sizes are 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000. For validation, available sizes are 1, 5000 (and 500 for STL10). Possible shuffling seeds are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 0 for no shuffling (0 is not used in practiced since data requires to be shuffled for gradient descent to work properly).

Valid dataset names

for dataset in cifar10 svhn svhn_noextra; do
for seed in 1 2 3 4 5; do
for valid in 1 5000; do
for size in 250 500 1000 2000 4000; do
    echo "${dataset}.${seed}@${size}-${valid}"
done; done; done; done

for seed in 1 2 3 4 5; do
for valid in 1 5000; do
    echo "cifar100.${seed}@10000-${valid}"
done; done

for seed in 1 2 3 4 5; do
for valid in 1 500; do
    echo "stl10.${seed}@1000-${valid}"
done; done
echo "stl10.1@5000-1"

Monitoring training progress

You can point tensorboard to the training folder (by default it is --train_dir=./experiments) to monitor the training process:

tensorboard.sh --port 6007 --logdir experiments/

Checkpoint accuracy

We compute the median accuracy of the last 20 checkpoints in the paper, this is done through this code:

# Following the previous example in which we trained cifar10.3@250-5000, extracting accuracy:
./scripts/extract_accuracy.py experiments/compare/cifar10.3@250-5000/MixMatch_archresnet_batch64_beta0.75_ema0.999_filters32_lr0.002_nclass10_repeat4_scales3_w_match75.0_wd0.02
# The command above will create a stats/accuracy.json file in the model folder.
# The format is JSON so you can either see its content as a text file or process it to your liking.

Reproducing tables from the paper

Check the contents of the runs/*.sh files, these will give you the commands (and the hyper-parameters) to reproduce the results from the paper.
