Are Labels Always Necessary for Classifier Accuracy Evaluation?

[Paper] [Project]

PyTorch Implementation

This repository contains:

• the PyTorch implementation of AutoEavl
• the example on MNIST setup
• FD calculation and two regression methods
• CIFAR-10/CIFAR-100 and COCO Setups (use imgaug to generate Meta-set). Please see PROJECT_DIR/image_transformation/

Please follow the instruction below to install it and run the experiment demo.

Prerequisites

• Linux (tested on Ubuntu 16.04LTS)
• NVIDIA GPU + CUDA CuDNN (tested on GTX 2080 Ti)
• COCO 2017 Dataset (download and unzip to PROJECT_DIR/extra_data/)
• MNIST dataset-link (download and unzip to PROJECT_DIR/dataset/)
• Please use PyTorch1.1 to avoid compilation errors (other versions should be good)
• You might need to change the file paths, and please be sure you change the corresponding paths in the codes as well
• Please see more details about COCO setup in #2

Getting started

0. Install dependencies

   # COCOAPI
   cd $DIR/libs
   git clone https://github.com/cocodataset/cocoapi.git
   cd cocoapi/PythonAPI
   python setup.py build_ext install
   

1. Creat Meta-set

   # By default it creates 300 sample sets
   python meta_set/main.py

2. Learn classifier

   # Save as "PROJECT_DIR/learn/mnist_cnn.pt"
   python learn/train.py

3. Test classifier on Meta-set

   # Get "PROJECT_DIR/learn/accuracy_mnist.npy" file
   python learn/many_test.py

4. Calculate FD on Meta-set

   # Get "PROJECT_DIR/FD/fd_mnist.npy" file
   python FD/many_fd.py

5. Linear regression

   # You will see linear_regression_train.png;
   # then check if FD and Accuracy have a linear relationship;
   # If so, it is all good, and please go back to step 1 and create 3000 sample sets.
   python FD/linear_regression.py

6. Network regression

   # Please follow the instructions in the script to train the model
   # Save as "PROJECT_DIR/FD/mnist_regnet.pt"
   python FD/train_regnet.py
