ALFA - Meta-Learning with Adaptive Hyperparameters

Sungyong Baik, Myungsub Choi, Janghoon Choi, Heewon Kim, Kyoung Mu Lee

Source code for NeurIPS 2020 paper "Meta-Learning with Adaptive Hyperparameters" (previously titled "Adaptive Learning for Fast Adaptation")

This repository is the implementation of ALFA. The code is based off the public code of MAML++, where their reimplementation of MAML is used as the baseline.

Requirements

• Ubuntu 18.04
• Anaconda3
• Python==3.6
• PyTorch==1.5
• numpy==1.19.1

To install requirements, first download Anaconda3 and then run the following:

bash install.sh

Hardware Requirements

• GPU with memory more than 27GB for a single-GPU ResNet12 training.

Datasets

For miniIamgenet, the dataset can be downloaded from the link provided from MAML++ public code. make a directory named 'datasets' and place the downloaded miniImagnet under the 'datasets' directory.

Training

To train the model(s) in the paper, run this command in experiment_scripts folder:

For single GPU

bash alfa+maml.sh 0

where 0 represent GPU_ID.

For multi-GPU,

bash alfa+maml.sh 0 1 2 3

where 0 1 2 3 represent 4 GPU_IDs.

Evaluation

After training is finished, the same command is run to evaluate:

For single GPU:

bash alfa+maml.sh 0

For multi-GPU:

bash alfa+maml.sh 0 1 2 3

where 0 1 2 3 represent 4 GPU_IDs.
