Installation

Requirements for Pytorch （see Pytorch installation instructions）

Examples:

CIFAR10

ResNet-20 baseline on CIFAR10： python cifar.py --dataset cifar10 --arch resnet --depth 20

ResNet-20 + Random Erasing on CIFAR10： python cifar.py --dataset cifar10 --arch resnet --depth 20 --p 0.5

CIFAR100

ResNet-20 baseline on CIFAR100： python cifar.py --dataset cifar100 --arch resnet --depth 20

ResNet-20 + Random Erasing on CIFAR100： python cifar.py --dataset cifar100 --arch resnet --depth 20 --p 0.5

Fashion-MNIST

ResNet-20 baseline on Fashion-MNIST： python fashionmnist.py --dataset fashionmnist --arch resnet --depth 20

ResNet-20 + Random Erasing on Fashion-MNIST： python fashionmnist.py --dataset fashionmnist --arch resnet --depth 20 --p 0.5

Other architectures

For ResNet： --arch resnet --depth (20， 32， 44， 56， 110)

For WRN： --arch wrn --depth 28 --widen-factor 10

Our results

You can reproduce the results in our paper:

	CIFAR10	CIFAR10	CIFAR100	CIFAR100	Fashion-MNIST	Fashion-MNIST
Models	Base.	+RE	Base.	+RE	Base.	+RE
ResNet-20	7.21	6.73	30.84	29.97	4.39	4.02
ResNet-32	6.41	5.66	28.50	27.18	4.16	3.80
ResNet-44	5.53	5.13	25.27	24.29	4.41	4.01
ResNet-56	5.31	4.89	24.82	23.69	4.39	4.13
ResNet-110	5.10	4.61	23.73	22.10	4.40	4.01
WRN-28-10	3.80	3.08	18.49	17.73	4.01	3.65

NOTE THAT, if you use the latest released Fashion-MNIST, the performance of Baseline and RE will slightly lower than the results reported in our paper. Please refer to the issue.
