Updates

Install

Once you have cloned the repo, all the commands below should be runned inside the main project folder cvaecaposr:

# Clone the repo
$ git clone https://github.com/guglielmocamporese/cvaecaposr.git

# Go to the project directory
$ cd cvaecaposr

To run the code you need to have conda installed (version >= 4.9.2).

Furthermore, all the requirements for running the code are specified in the environment.yaml file and can be installed with:

# Install the conda env
$ conda env create --file environment.yaml

# Activate the conda env
$ conda activate cvaecaposr

Dataset Splits

You can find the dataset splits for all the datasets we have used (i.e. for MNIST, SVHN, CIFAR10, CIFAR+10, CIFAR+50 and TinyImageNet) in the splits.py file.

When you run the code the datasets will be automatically downloaded in the ./data folder and the split number selected is determined by the --split_num argument specified when you run the main.py file (more on how to run the code in the Experiment section below).

Model Checkpoints

You can download the model checkpoints using the download_checkpoints.sh script in the scripts folder by running:

# Extend script permissions
$ chmod +x ./scripts/download_checkpoints.sh

# Download model checkpoints
$ ./scripts/download_checkpoints.sh

After the download you will find the model checkpoints in the ./checkpoints folder:

The size of each checkpoint file is between ~370 MB and ~670 MB.

Experiments

For all the experiments we have used a GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (11GB of memory) GPU.

For the training you will need ~7300 MiB of GPU memory whereas for test ~5000 MiB of GPU memory.

Train

The CVAECapOSR model can be trained using the main.py program. Here we reported an example of a training script for the mnist experiment:

# Train
$ python main.py \
      --data_base_path "./data" \
      --dataset "mnist" \
      --val_ratio 0.2 \
      --seed 1234 \
      --batch_size 32 \
      --split_num 0 \
      --z_dim 128 \
      --lr 5e-5 \
      --t_mu_shift 10.0 \
      --t_var_scale 0.1 \
      --alpha 1.0 \
      --beta 0.01 \
      --margin 10.0 \
      --in_dim_caps 16 \
      --out_dim_caps 32 \
      --checkpoint "" \
      --epochs 100 \
      --mode "train"

For simplicity we provide all the training scripts for the different datasets in the scripts folder. Specifically, you will find:

that you can run as follows:

# Extend script permissions
$ chmod +x ./scripts/train_{dataset}.sh # where you have to set a dataset name

# Run training
$ ./scripts/train_{dataset}.sh # where you have to set a dataset name

All the temporary files of the training stage (model checkpoints, tensorboard metrics, ...) are created at ./tmp/{dataset}/version_{version_number}/ where the dataset is specified in the train_{dataset}.sh script and version_number is an integer number that is tracked and computed automatically in order to not override training logs (each training will create unique files in different folders, with different versions).

Test

The CVAECapOSR model can be tested using the main.py program. Here we reported an example of a test script for the mnist experiment:

# Test
$ python main.py \
      --data_base_path "./data" \
      --dataset "mnist" \
      --val_ratio 0.2 \
      --seed 1234 \
      --batch_size 32 \
      --split_num 0 \
      --z_dim 128 \
      --lr 5e-5 \
      --t_mu_shift 10.0 \
      --t_var_scale 0.1 \
      --alpha 1.0 \
      --beta 0.01 \
      --margin 10.0 \
      --in_dim_caps 16 \
      --out_dim_caps 32 \
      --checkpoint "checkpoints/mnist.ckpt" \
      --mode "test"

For simplicity we provide all the test scripts for the different datasets in the scripts folder. Specifically, you will find:

that you can run as follows:

# Extend script permissions
$ chmod +x ./scripts/test_{dataset}.sh # where you have to set a dataset name

# Run training
$ ./scripts/test_{dataset}.sh # where you have to set a dataset name

Model Reconstruction

Here we reported the reconstruction of some test samples of the model after training.
