Could you please give me some advices for improving acc_both?

[asdfqwer2015]

Hi, gidariss: Thanks for your shared code. I tested this mechanism for my own feature model and dataset. And got high acc_base and acc_novel except acc_both, could you please give me some advices?

I trained a model on my own dataset(trainset samples > 110k) and got acc_base 91.22%, acc_novel 90.48% and acc_both 74.97% in stage1. And the model is training in stage2 now. But I found the acc_both is still very low. And should I use the feature net with best acc_both instead of best acc_novel from stage1 in stage2?

Thanks.

@asdfqwer2015 Did you use your own implementation for the method? If not, could please share what changes should be made in order to use this code on own dataset? (if it's not much of a trouble of course)

Thanks for your reply and sorry for my late response, my network connection is not very well. I modified feature net and dataloader, and slightly modified FewShot due to newaxis frames. En, I tested this few shot mechanism for train gesture classification based on a 3Dconv feature net from https://github.com/ahmetgunduz/Real-time-GesRec and the datasets is 20bn-jester, which has 27 classes.

For feat net, I almost copied the code from here: https://github.com/ahmetgunduz/Real-time-GesRec/blob/4aaf03c5a6569a2d385839545eca01aca35011f6/model.py#L41-L47 , and nFeat is 2048

For cls net, I used cls net from FewShotWithoutForgetting framework, but the nFeat is 2048(feat net).

For dataloader, the code is below:

En, 5 classes of gestures are chosen as novel classes. In stage2, AccuracyBase and AccuracyNovel have not increased, and I think AccuracyNovel has already very high. But AccuracyBoth dropped from 75.x% to 59.x%. Could you please give me some advice to handle this dataset? Thanks. :)

@asdfqwer2015 A million thanks for your reply. I will try and test this on my own dataset or the one you pointed and will give you some feedback as soon as i can.

[asdfqwer2015]

Thanks for your help. Waiting for your advice. :)
