CUB dataset

Training

Training with Imagenet pre-trained weights

1. Baseline and Baseline+

To train a model on CUB dataset using the Resnet-50 backbone,

python main.py # baseline

python main.py --midlevel # baseline+

To train model on other datasets using other network backbones, you can specify the following arguments:

--net_type: name of network type. {inceptionv3_ft,resnet_ft,densenet_ft}

--depth: network depth,e.g., {18,34,50,101} for resnet architecture

--dataset: dataset name

For example,

python main.py --depth 18 --dataset car # using the Resnet-18 backbone on Car dataset

python main.py --net_type inceptionv3_ft --dataset aircraft # using the inceptionV3 backbone on Aircraft dataset

2. Training with mixing augmentation

Applying SnapMix in training ( we used the hyperparameter values (prob=1., beta=5) for SnapMix in most of the experiments.):

python main.py --mixmethod snapmix --beta 5 --depth 50 --dataset cub # baseline

python main.py --mixmethod snapmix --beta 5 --depth 50 --dataset cub --midlevel # baseline+

Applying other augmentation methods (currently support cutmix,cutout,and mixup) in training:

python main.py --mixmethod cutmix --beta 3 --depth 50 --dataset cub # training with CutMix

python main.py --mixmethod mixup --prob 0.5 --depth 50 --dataset cub # training with MixUp

Training from scratch

To train a model without using ImageNet pretrained weights:

python main.py --mixmethod snapmix --prob 0.5 --depth 18 --dataset cub --pretrained 0 # resnet-18 backbone

python main.py --mixmethod snapmix --prob 0.5 --depth 50 --dataset cub --pretrained 0 # resnet-50 backbone

2. Results

Backbone	Method	CUB
Resnet-18	Baseline	64.98%
Resnet-18	Baseline + SnapMix	70.31%
Resnet-50	Baseline	66.92%
Resnet-50	Baseline + SnapMix	72.17%
