News

[2023/08/19] Camera ready is submitted.
[2023/07/14] Accepted to ICCV 2023 as poster presentation, code is released to the public!

Installation

Install all dependencies via pip
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
:warning: Remove torch and torchvision from requirements.txt first if another version of pytorch have already installed.

Dataset

Create a dataset root diretory, e.g., data.
CIFAR100 and ImageNet-R datasets will be automatically downloaded, while DomainNet requires manual download.

Overview of dataset root diretory

├── cifar100

└── imagenet-r
    ├── imagenet-r
    ├── train_list.txt
    └── val_list.txt

:warning: The train-validation split of ImageNet-R dataset are consistent with the L2P JAX code, replace the train_list.txt and val_list.txt with train_list_coda-p.txt and val_list_coda-p.txt if you want to use the train-validation splitation of CODA-Prompt.

Experiment

Generate config file (replace <root> with your dataset root path)

python main.py data.root=<root> data.dataset=cifar100 --print_config > cifar100.yaml

Run code with an experiment config file
```
python main.py --config=cifar100.yaml
```
Reproduce results in the paper

We provide configs and Makefile to quickly reproduce the ten-tasks experimental results reported in the paper, run the following command if the make has been installed:
```
make vit_adapter
make vit_lora
make vit_prefix
make swin_adapter
make convnext_adapter
```
Run make command with BASE arg (default is base/cifar100_order1.yaml) to reproduce other experiments, e.g.:
```
make BASE="base/imagenet-r_order1.yaml" vit_adapter
```
Modifiy data.num_increment_classes (5/10 for CIFAR100/ImageNet-R) in base config files to reproduce 20-task experiments.
