This repository contains source code for the experiments in a paper titled Semi-Supervised Learning with Ladder Networks by A Rasmus, H Valpola, M Honkala, M Berglund, and T Raiko.
Refer to the Blocks installation instructions for details but use tag 0.2 instead. Something along:
pip install git+git://github.com/mila-udem/blocks.git@0.2
pip install git+git://github.com/mila-udem/fuel.git@v0.2
Fuel comes with Blocks, but you need to download and convert the datasets. Refer to the Fuel documentation.
fuel-download mnist
fuel-convert mnist --dtype float32
mv mnist_float32.hdf5 mnist.hdf5
fuel-download cifar10
fuel-convert cifar10
The following commands train the models with seed 1. The reported numbers in the paper are averages over
several random seeds. These commands use all the training samples for training (--unlabeled-samples 60000)
and none are used for validation. This results in a lot of NaNs being printed during the trainining, since
the validation statistics are not available. If you want to observe the validation error and costs during the
training, use --unlabeled-samples 50000.

After training a model, you can infer the results on a test set by performing the evaluate command.
An example use after training a model:
./run.py evaluate results/mnist_all_bottom0
