Introduction

Reciprocal Distribution Alignment (RDA) is a semi-supervised learning (SSL) framework working with both the matched (conventionally) and the mismatched class distributions. Distribution mismatch is an often overlooked but more general SSL scenario where the labeled and the unlabeled data do not fall into the identical class distribution. This may lead to the model not exploiting the labeled data reliably and drastically degrade the performance of SSL methods, which could not be rescued by the traditional distribution alignment. RDA achieves promising performance in SSL under a variety of scenarios of mismatched distributions, as well as the conventional matched SSL setting.

How to Train

Important Args

--num_labels : Amount of labeled data used.
--mismatch [none/rda/darp/darp_reversed] : Select the type of mismatched distributions. none means the conventional balanced setting. rda means our protocol for constructing dataset with mismatched distributions, which is described in Sec. 4.2; darp means DARP's protocol described in Sec. C.1 of Supplementary Materials; darp_reversed means DARP's protocol for CIFAR-10 with reversed version of mismatched distributions.
--n0 : When --mismatch rda, this arg means the imbalanced ratio $N_0$ for labeled data; When --mismatch [darp/darp_reversed], this arg means the imbalanced ratio $\gamma_l$ for labeled data.
--gamma : When --mismatch rda, this arg means the imbalanced ratio $\gamma$ for unlabeled data; When --mismatch DARP/DARP_reversed, this arg means the imbalanced ratio $\gamma_u$ for unlabeled data.
--net : By default, Wide ResNet (WRN-28-2) are used for experiments. If you want to use other backbones for tarining, set --net [resnet18/preresnet/cnn13]. We provide alternatives as follows: ResNet-18, PreAct ResNet and CNN-13.
--dataset [cifar10/cifar100/stl10/miniimage] and --data_dir : Your dataset name and path. We support four datasets: CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, STL-10 and mini-ImageNet. When --dataset stl10, set --fold [0/1/2/3/4].
--num_eval_iter : After how many iterations, we evaluate the model. Note that although we show the accuracy of pseudo-labels on unlabeled data in the evaluation, this is only to show the training process. We did not use any information about labels for unlabeled data in the training. Additionally, when you train model on STL-10, the pseudo-label accuracy will not be displayed normally, because we don't have the ground-truth of unlabeled data.

Training with Single GPU

To better reproduce our experimental results, it is recommended to follow our experimental environment using a single GPU for training.

python train_rda.py --world-size 1 --rank 0 --gpu [0/1/...] @@@other args@@@

Training with Multi-GPUs

Using DataParallel

python train_rda.py --world-size 1 --rank 0 @@@other args@@@

Using DistributedDataParallel with single node

python train_rda.py --world-size 1 --rank 0 --multiprocessing-distributed @@@other args@@@

Examples of Running

By default, the model and dist&index.txt will be saved in \--save_dir\--save_name. The file dist&index.txt will display detailed settings of mismatched distributions. This code assumes 1 epoch of training, but the number of iterations is 2**20. For CIFAR-100, you need set --widen_factor 8 for WRN-28-8 whereas WRN-28-2 is used for CIFAR-10. Note that you need set --net resnet18 for STL-10 and mini-ImageNet. Additionally, WRN-28-2 is used for all experiments under DARP's protocol.
