About ft_optim grad from ft_loss about crossdomainfewshot

You can refer to the implementation in methods/backbone.py and methods/LFTNet.py.

Hi, thank you for sharing your efforts.
I tried to understand the eq.(6) and (7) through your code, but i guess failed.
As i understand "ft_loss" calculated without ft layers in methods/LFTNet.py-line137.
And the line138 tries to calculate and update the gradients of the ft layers.
However, as I know it is not possible because the ft layer was not used.
How can it possible to calculate the gradients of ft layer?

Thanks to your response in the openreview, I guess understood. Thank you!

Thanks to your response in the openreview, I guess understood. Thank you!

can you explain why the ft layer can be updated without using it

[dori2063]

The ft layer is not used for pu, while the ft layer used for ps is used for pu. (In the end, ft layer is used for pu.)
In https://openreview.net/forum?id=SJl5Np4tPr, the author's sentence "the updated model used to calculate~" made me understand. You can think about it with how defined and used "self.ft_optim" in methods/LFTNet.py.

Hi, thank you for sharing this information. It confuses me so much.

The ft layer is not used for pu, while the ft layer used for ps is used for pu. (In the end, ft layer is used for pu.)

After reading your reply, I guess it can be understood by "the ps and up share a single ft layer (i.e., the same parameter $theta_f$), which is only optimized on pu"?
