Datasets

Dataset download link:

• miniImageNet It contains 100 classes with 600 images in each class, which are built upon the ImageNet dataset. The 100 classes are divided into 64, 16, 20 for meta-training, meta-validation and meta-testing, respectively.
• tieredImageNet TieredImageNet is also a subset of ImageNet, which includes 608 classes from 34 super-classes. Compared with miniImageNet, the splits of meta-training(20), meta-validation(6) and meta-testing(8) are set according to the super-classes to enlarge the domain difference between training and testing phase. The dataset also include more images for training and evaluation (779,165 images in total).
• CIFAR-FS CIFAR-FS is divided from CIFAR-100, which consists of 60,000 images in 100 categories. The CIFAR-FS is divided into 64, 16 and 20 for training, validation, and evaluation, respectively.
• FC-100 FC-100 is also divided from CIFAR-100, which is more difficult because it is more diverse. The FC100 uses a split similar to tieredImageNet, where train, validation, and test splits contain 60, 20, and 20 classes.

Note: You need to manually change the dataset directory.

Pre-trained backbone

Few-shot Classification

• Train a 5-way 1-shot MML model based on ResNet-12 (on miniImageNet dataset):

 python experiments/run_trainer.py  --cfg ./configs/miniImagenet/MML_N5K1_R12.yaml --device 0

Test model on the test set:

python experiments/run_evaluator.py --cfg ./configs/miniImagenet/MML_N5K1_R12.yaml -c ./checkpoint/*/*.pth --device 0
