Incremental Learners for Continual Learning

Repository storing some my public works done during my PhD thesis (2019-).

You will find in there both known implementation (iCaRL, etc.) but also all my papers. You can find the list of the latter on my Google Scholar.

My work on continual segmentation can be found here and on continual data loaders here.

Structures

Every model must inherit inclearn.models.base.IncrementalLearner.

To run experiments on CIFAR100 with three different class orders, with the challenging setting of 50 steps:

python3 -minclearn --options options/podnet/podnet_cnn_cifar100.yaml options/data/cifar100_3orders.yaml \
    --initial-increment 50 --increment 1 --fixed-memory \
    --device <GPU_ID> --label podnet_cnn_cifar100_50steps \
    --data-path <PATH/TO/DATA>

Likewise, for ImageNet100:

python3 -minclearn --options options/podnet/podnet_cnn_imagenet100.yaml options/data/imagenet100_1order.yaml \
    --initial-increment 50 --increment 1 --fixed-memory \
    --device <GPU_ID> --label podnet_cnn_imagenet100_50steps \
    --data-path <PATH/TO/DATA>

And ImageNet1000:

Likewise, for ImageNet100:

python3 -minclearn --options options/podnet/podnet_cnn_imagenet100.yaml options/data/imagenet1000_1order.yaml \
    --initial-increment 500 --increment 50 --fixed-memory --memory-size 20000 \
    --device <GPU_ID> --label podnet_cnn_imagenet1000_10steps \
    --data-path <PATH/TO/DATA>

Furthermore several options files are available to reproduce the ablations showcased in the paper. Please see the directory ./options/podnet/ablations/.

The code is still very dirty, I'll clean it later. Forgive me.
