Investigating Possible Inductive Biases in Local Sparse Attention ViT Architectures Against Traditional CNNs

Prepare dependencies

Load modules in Euler

env2lmod
module load gcc/8.2.0
module load python_gpu/3.8.5
module load cuda/11.3.1

Set up a Python virtual environment (venv)

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Install modules

Install the dependencies given in requirements.txt.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Nvidia Apex is not published in PyPI and has to be installed by following the instructions here.

Train models

Change directory to either of {resnet, vit, DemystifyLocalViT} and execute:

./run_train.sh gpu

Generate combined and background datasets

cd combined_dataset
./run.sh

cd background_dataset
./run.sh

Test models

Change directory to either of {resnet, vit, DemystifyLocalViT} and execute:

./run_eval.sh gpu
