This repo contains the sample code for our AAAI 2024: Feature Fusion from Head to Tail for Long-Tailed Visual Recognition. The core code is in methods.py: H2T.

• Camera-ready version including the appendix of the paper is updated ! [link]
• Slides and the poster are released. [Slides (pptx), Slides (pdf), Poster]
• CE loss for CIFAR-100-LT is realsed.
• Code for other datasets and baseline methods are some what messy 😆😆😆. Detailed running instructions and the orignized code for more datasets and baselines will be released latter. (This repository reserves some interfaces for other loss functions and backbones, which have not yet been integrated into the training and configuration files.)

Stage-1:

(e.g. CIFAR100-LT, imbalance ratio = 100, CrossEntropy Loss, MixUp, training from scratch)

python train_stage1.py --cfg ./config/cifar100_imb001_stage1_ce_mixup

Stage-2:

(e.g. CIFAR100-LT, imbalance ratio = 100, CrossEntropy Loss, H2T)

python train_stage2.py --cfg ./config/cifar100_imb001_stage2_ce_H2T.yaml resume /path/to/checkpoint/stage1

The saved folder (including logs, code, and checkpoints) is organized as follows.

H2T
├── saved
│   ├── modelname_date
│   │   ├── ckps
│   │   │   ├── current.pth.tar
│   │   │   └── model_best.pth.tar
│   │   └── logs
│   │       └── modelname.txt
│   │   └── codes
│   │       └── relevant code without data
│   ...   

To evaluate a trained model, run:

(e.g. CIFAR100-LT, imbalance ratio = 100, CrossEntropy Loss, Stage-1)

python eval-modified.py --cfg ./config/cifar100_imb001_stage1_ce_mixup resume /path/to/checkpoint/stage1

(e.g. CIFAR100-LT, imbalance ratio = 100, CrossEntropy Loss, Stage-2)

python eval.py --cfg ./config/cifar100_imb001_stage2_ce_H2T.yaml resume /path/to/checkpoint/stage2

1) CIFAR-10-LT and CIFAR-100-LT

• Stage-1 (CE with mixup):

• Stage-2 (CE with H2T):

Note: I reran Stage-2 with the config from this respository and got slightly better results than in the AAAI paper.
