Installation :construction_worker:

1. Create conda environment

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate dti-clustering

Optional: some monitoring routines are implemented, you can use them by specifying the visdom port in the config file. You will need to install visdom from source beforehand

git clone https://github.com/facebookresearch/visdom
cd visdom && pip install -e .

2. Download non-torchvision datasets

Following script will download affNIST-test and FRGC datasets, as well as our unfiltered Instagram collections associated to #santaphoto and #weddingkiss:

./download_data.sh

NB: it may happen that gdown hangs, if so you can download them by hand with following gdrive links, then unzip and move them to the datasets folder:

How to use :rocket:

1. Launch a training

cuda=gpu_id config=filename.yml tag=run_tag ./pipeline.sh

where:

gpu_id is a target cuda device id,
filename.yml is a YAML config located in configs folder,
run_tag is a tag for the experiment.

Results are saved at runs/${DATASET}/${DATE}_${run_tag} where DATASET is the dataset name specified in filename.yml and DATE is the current date in mmdd format. Some training visual results like prototype evolutions and transformation prediction examples will be saved. Here is an example of learned MNIST prototypes and transformation predictions for a given query image:

2. Reproduce our quantitative results on MNIST-test (10 runs)

cuda=gpu_id config=mnist_test.yml tag=dtikmeans ./multi_pipeline.sh

Switch the model name to dtigmm in the config file to reproduce results for DTI GMM. Available configs are:

affnist_test.yml
fashion_mnist.yml
frgc.yml
mnist.yml
mnist_1k.yml
mnist_color.yml
mnist_test.yml
svhn.yml
usps.yml

3. Reproduce our qualitative results on Instagram collections

(skip if you already downloaded data using script above) Create a santaphoto dataset by running process_insta_santa.sh script. It can take a while to scrape the 10k posts from Instagram.
Launch training with cuda=gpu_id config=instagram.yml tag=santaphoto ./pipeline.sh

That's it! You can apply the process to other IG hashtags like #trevifountain or #weddingkiss and discover prototypes similar to:

4. Reproduce our qualitative results on MegaDepth

You need to download desired landmarks from the original MegaDepth project webpage, e.g. Florence Cathedral
Move images to a datasets/megadepth/firenze/train folder
Launch training with cuda=gpu_id config=megadepth.yml tag=firenze ./pipeline.sh

You should end up with 20 learned prototypes and random sample examples in each cluster. To assess the quality of clustering, you can visualized for each cluster, the prototype, random samples and transformed prototypes like:
