0. Requirements:

   • Install python3
   • Install pytorch 0.3 version (It does not support 0.4)
   • Put an imagenet folder under exp/imagenet/
     • You can download it from official websites
   • Install Visdom if you want visualization, and see here.
   • If you want to replicate VAE experiments, please download the pretrained model from here and put under exp/vbd_imagenet/checkpts2/
   • If you want to replicate Contextual Attention GAN experiments, you need to setup the pre-trained GAN from this repo. Put this repo under exp/vbd_imagenet/generative_inpainting/

1. Running examples:

   • Run FIDO with SDR objectives (vbd_sdr), and with Local inpainter (LocalMeanInpainter)

   CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python -u vbd_imagenet.py --importance-method vbd_sdr --classifier resnet50 --dropout_param_size 56 56 --epochs 300 --lr 0.05 --reg-coef 1e-3 --batch-size 8 --num-samples 1 --gen-model-name LocalMeanInpainter --save-dir ./imgs/0317_local_vbd_sdr_1E-3_56_val_resnet/ --num-imgs 50 --dataset valid/ --data-dir ../imagenet/ --gpu-ids 0

   • Without GPU (add --no-cuda)

   python -u vbd_imagenet.py --importance-method vbd_ssr --classifier resnet50 --dropout_param_size 56 56 --epochs 300 --lr 0.05 --reg-coef 1e-3 --batch-size 8 --num-samples 1 --gen-model-name LocalMeanInpainter --save-dir ./imgs/0317_local_vbd_sdr_1E-3_56_val_resnet/ --num-imgs 50 --dataset valid/ --data-dir ../imagenet/ --no-cuda

   • Run FIDO with SSR objectives (vbd_ssr), and with Contextual Attention Inpainter (CAInpainter)

   python -u vbd_imagenet.py --importance-method vbd_sdr --classifier resnet50 --dropout_param_size 56 56 --epochs 300 --lr 0.05 --reg-coef 1e-3 --batch-size 8 --num-samples 1 --gen-model-name CAInpainter --save-dir ./imgs/0317_local_vbd_sdr_1E-3_56_val_resnet/ --num-imgs 50 --dataset valid/ --data-dir ../imagenet/ --no-cuda

   • Run BBMP with SSR objectives under random inpainting

   python -u vbd_imagenet.py --importance-method bbmp_ssr --classifier resnet50 --dropout_param_size 56 56 --epochs 300 --lr 0.05 --reg-coef 5e-3 --gen-model-name RandomColorWithNoiseInpainter --save-dir ./imgs/0317_random_bbmp_ssr_5E-3_56_val_resnet/ --num-imgs 50 --dataset valid/ --data-dir ../imagenet/ --no-cuda

2. Still have questions?

   • If you still have questions, please first search over closed issues. If the problem is not solved, please open a new issue.

Visualization on Visdom for the saliency map during training is supported. Run visdom server and then add argument --visdom_enabled to view.
