msa's Introduction

MSA

This repository is the official implementation of Multi-Scale Similarity Aggregation for Dynamic Metric Learning on dynamic metric learning (DyML) task.

📋 Our code is based on HAPPIER and we greatly appreciate for their work.

Requirements

This repo was tested with Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS, Python 3.6, PyTorch 1.8.1, and CUDA 11.1 on one RTX 3090 GPU.

Training

Prepare the DyML datasets (DyML-Vehicle, DyML-Animal, DyML-Product).

Download datasets from here and modify the data_dir in dyml_vehicle.yaml, dyml_animal.yaml, and dyml_product.yaml in MSA/happier/config/dataset/.
```
kwargs:
  data_dir: /path/to/dataset
```
Download pretrained models from here and put them into MSA/pretrained_model.
To train the model(s) in the paper, run the following commands.

DyML-Vehicle:
```
sh run_vehicle_msa.sh
```
DyML-Animal:
```
sh run_animal_msa.sh
```
DyML-Product:
```
sh run_product_msa.sh
```
📋 Note that for the DyML-Product dataset, learning a single embedding only for the fine level achieves a better R@1 result (~68%) than that of the complete version of MSA (~66%), and we report the former result. In run_product_msa.sh, we provide the commands to train these two models.

Testing

During testing, we evaluate the performance of both the online network and the momentum network, while the performance of the online network is reported. In TensorBoard, the tag Evaluation_EMA denotes the performance of the momentum network.

Results

Our model achieves the following performance on three DyML datasets:
