Running experiments

Running experiments on MNIST

export stride=0.1 # editing stride (alpha)
export reg=0.01 # reg strength (beta)
export dataset="split_mnist"
export mem=500
export start_seed=100
export stop_seed=109
export method="-" # change to "mirr" for MIR+GMED

./scripts/gme_tune_${dataset}.sh  ${dataset}_iter1_stride${stride}_1_0_2${reg}_m${mem} 1 ${stride} 1 0 2 ${mem} ${method} ${start_seed} ${stop_seed} "OUTPUT_DIR=runs EXTERNAL.OCL.REG_STRENGTH=${reg}"

Similary, experiments on other datasets can be run by changing the name of the dataset variable above.
