S2M2 Charting the Right Manifold: Manifold Mixup for Few-shot Learning

A few-shot classification algorithm: Charting the Right Manifold: Manifold Mixup for Few-shot Learning

Our code is built upon the code base of A Closer Look at Few-shot Classification and Manifold Mixup: Better Representations by Interpolating Hidden States

Running the code

Donwloading the dataset and create base/val/novel splits:

miniImageNet

Change directory to filelists/miniImagenet/
Run 'source ./download_miniImagenet.sh'

CUB

Change directory to filelists/CUB/
Run 'source ./download_CUB.sh'

CIFAR-FS

Change directory to filelists/cifar/
Run 'source ./download_cifar.sh'

Training

DATASETNAME: miniImagenet/cifar/CUB/tieredImagenet

METHODNAME: S2M2_R/rotation/manifold_mixup

For CIFAR-10

python train_cifar.py --method [METHODNAME] --model WideResNet28_10 --batch_size <batch_size> --stop_epoch <stop_epoch>

For miniImagenet/CUB/tieredImagenet

python train.py --dataset [DATASETNAME] --method [METHODNAME] --model WideResNet28_10 --batch_size <batch_size> --stop_epoch <stop_epoch>

For tieredImagenet Novel/Base split taken from https://github.com/renmengye/few-shot-ssl-public

Example Training script to replicate our result on CUB Dataset:

python train.py --dataset CUB --method rotation --model WideResNet28_10 --stop_epoch 200 --batch_size 64 --test_batch_size 16
python train.py --dataset CUB --method S2M2_R --model WideResNet28_10 --stop_epoch 100 --batch_size 64 --test_batch_size 16

Fetching pretrained WideResNet_28_10 model checkpoints for evaluation

Directory path to save models should be: checkpoints/[DATASETNAME]/WideResNet2810[METHODNAME]/

Pre-trained mdoels can be downloadeded from https://drive.google.com/open?id=1S-t56H8YWzMn3sjemBcwMtGuuUxZnvb_. Move the tar files for each dataset into 'checkpoints' folder and untar it if required.

Few-shot evaluation

Create an empty 'features' directory inside 'S2M2'

python save_features.py --dataset [DATASETNAME] --method [METHODNAME] --model WideResNet28_10
python test.py --dataset [DATASETNAME] --method [METHODNAME] --model WideResNet28_10 --n_shot [1/5]

Features of pre-trained network can also be be directly downloaded at this link 'https://drive.google.com/open?id=1JtA7p3sDPksvBmOsJuR4EHw9zRHnKurj' for easy evaluation without the need to download datasets and models. Move the tar files for each dataset into 'features' folder and untar it.

Comparison with prior/current state-of-the-art methods on mini-ImageNet, CUB and CIFAR-FS dataset.

Note: We implemented LEO on CUB dataset. Other numbers are reported directly from the paper.
