Requirements

PyTorch >= 1.1

Data preparation

We follow AutoNovel to prepare the data

By default, we save the dataset in ./data/datasets/ and trained models in ./data/experiments/.

  • For CIFAR-10 and CIFAR-100, the datasets can be automatically downloaded by PyTorch.

  • For ImageNet, we use the exact split files used in the experiments following existing work. To download the split files, run the command: sh scripts/download_imagenet_splits.sh . The ImageNet dataset folder is organized in the following way:

    ImageNet/imagenet_rand118 #downloaded by the above command
    ImageNet/images/train #standard ImageNet training split
    ImageNet/images/val #standard ImageNet validation split
    

Pretrained models

We use the pretrained models (self-supervised learning and supervised learning) provided by AutoNovel. To download, run:

sh scripts/download_pretrained_models.sh

If you would like to train the self-supervised learning and supervised learning models by yourself, please refer to AutoNovel for more details.

After downloading, you can go to perform our neighbor contrastive learning below.

Neighborhood Contrastive Learning for Novel Class Discovery

CIFAR10/CIFAR100

Without Hard Negative Generation (w/o HNG)
# Train on CIFAR10
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 sh scripts/ncl_cifar10.sh ./data/datasets/CIFAR/ ./data/experiments/ ./data/experiments/pretrained/supervised_learning/resnet_rotnet_cifar10.pth

# Train on CIFAR100
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 sh scripts/ncl_cifar100.sh ./data/datasets/CIFAR/ ./data/experiments/ ./data/experiments/pretrained/supervised_learning/resnet_rotnet_cifar100.pth
With Hard Negative Generation (w/ HNG)
# Train on CIFAR10
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 sh scripts/ncl_hng_cifar10.sh ./data/datasets/CIFAR/ ./data/experiments/ ./data/experiments/pretrained/supervised_learning/resnet_rotnet_cifar10.pth

# Train on CIFAR100
CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 sh scripts/ncl_hng_cifar100.sh ./data/datasets/CIFAR/ ./data/experiments/ ./data/experiments/pretrained/supervised_learning/resnet_rotnet_cifar100.pth

Note that, for cifar-10, we suggest to train the model w/o HNG, because the results of w HNG and w/o HNG for cifar-10 are similar. In addition, the model w/ HNG sometimes will collapse, but you can try different seeds to get the normal result.
