list index out of range error

[AWbosman]

Hi!

I am trying to reproduce some part of your interesting work and just running your scripts from this repo. I have followed the installation guide etc but I get the following error when running your scripts:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 75, in <module>
    main()
  File "main.py", line 20, in main
    args = parse_arguments()
  File "x/fairness_crossdomain/parse_args.py", line 30, in parse_arguments
    exp_type = os.path.normpath(args.experiment).split(os.sep)[1]
IndexError: list index out of range

Can you help me with solving this? Or point me to where this error might originate?

Hello!

Thank you so much for the kind words! This error is a consequence of a (very bad) choice of input validation I did a while ago. The idea was to check that the user would run a task (eg. classification) only on the datasets that support it. I will work on a fix for this.

In the meantime, can you please share some more details about how you launched the experiments and your configuration (eg. os, python version...)

Hi! Thank you for the fast reply. O the choices that haunt us! Its nice that you are willing to work on this. In the meantime, would it be at all possible to get a file with weights from one of the architectures you used in the paper? Preferably from the celeb dataset, as I am still waiting for access to the other datasets. This would really help me, as I can check whether the architectures work at all for the application I am working on?

Some details. I used the same python version as you (3.7.6) to create a conda environment. I am running the experiments on a cluster. Is using conda a problem for any of the requirements?

Kindly
