This repository is the official implementation of Leveraging the Feature Distribution in Transfer-based Few-Shot Learning.

To install requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Donwloading the dataset and create base/val/novel splits:

miniImageNet

• Change directory to filelists/miniImagenet/
• Run 'source ./download_miniImagenet.sh'

CUB

• Change directory to filelists/CUB/
• Run 'source ./download_CUB.sh'

CIFAR-FS

• Download CIFAR-FS
• Decompress and change the filename to 'cifar-FS'
• Move the datafile to filelists/cifar/
• Run 'python write_cifar_filelist.py'

To train the feature extractors in the paper, run this command:

For miniImageNet/CUB

python train.py --dataset [miniImagenet/CUB] --method [S2M2_R/rotation] --model [WideResNet28_10/ResNet18] --train_aug

For CIFAR-FS

python train_cifar.py --dataset cifar --method [S2M2_R/rotation] --model [WideResNet28_10/ResNet18] --train_aug

To evaluate my model on miniImageNet/CUB/cifar/cross, run:

python test_standard.py

You can download pretrained models and extracted features here:

• trained models trained on miniImageNet, CUB and CIFAR-FS using WRN.

• Create an empty 'checkpoints' directory.

• Untar the downloaded file and move it into 'checkpoints' folder.

📋 To extract and save the novel class features of a newly trained backbone, run:

python save_plk.py --dataset [miniImagenet/CUB] --method S2M2_R --model [trainedmodel]

Our model achieves the following performance (backbone: WRN) on :
