what is the proper behavior of consistency loss #40

Closed dlnewbie-h closed 3 years ago

dlnewbie-h commented 3 years ago

Dear authors Thanks for your great work!

My question is what is the expected/proper behavior of the consistency loss over the course of training? Is it supposed to go down smoothly like the labeled loss term? or Is it supposed to oscillate around certain level during the training?

Thanks!

It's been two years since I've written the code and ran the experiments and I don't recall. Probably the simplest way to answer your question would be to run it on cifar10 (since it's relatively fast): https://github.com/google-research/mixmatch/blob/master/runs/table5.sh
