get_data_loader function gets same train samples

[whcjb]

Hi kelly, I read the code and find that the get_data_loader function get the same batch samples every iteration, is that you want? (sorry, I'm not familiar with the maml algorithm.)

below is the samples got from the get_data_loader funtion.

[whcjb]

is this a bug or is this the way of the maml algorithm?

[katerakelly]

What do you mean? These are not the same batches.

[RAntonello]

Aren't they? They are just shuffled versions of one another. Each batch contains the same set of images.
