Continual Variational Dropout

This repository contains all of our code for Continual Variational Dropout: A View of Auxiliary Local Variables in Continual Learning.

Dataset

To download the Omniglot dataset.

Perform Training

$ python3 main.py --experiment [dataset] --approach [approach] --film --KL_weight [KL_weight] --prior_var [prior_var]

To perform the CVD on split-mnist, enter the following command:

$ python3 main.py --experiment split_mnist --approach gvclf_vd --film --KL_weight 0.01

To perform CVD on split-CIFAR100, enter the following command:

$ python3 main.py --experiment split_cifar100 --approach gvclf_vd --film --KL_weight 0.01 --conv_Dropout --prior_var 1

Acknowledgement

Our implementation is based on yolky/gvcl.
