LVAT

The code used in the evaluation of Latent Space Virtual Adversarial Training (ECCV 2020 Oral).

Reference

This code is written based on the original VAT implementation (see here),
and the implementation for Glow is heavily based on this code.

Requirements

tensorflow-gpu 1.14

Preparation 1. Create symbolic links

cd lvat/
# for LVAT-VAE
ln -s ../vae/VAE.py .
ln -s ../vae/config.py .
ln -s ../vae/util .
ln -s ../vae/out_VAE_SVHN/ out_VAE_SVHN
ln -s ../vae/out_VAE_SVHN_aug/ out_VAE_SVHN_aug
ln -s ../vae/out_VAE_CIFAR10/ out_VAE_CIFAR10
ln -s ../vae/out_VAE_CIFAR10_aug/ out_VAE_CIFAR10_aug

# for LVAT-Glow
ln -s ../glow/out/SVHN/w_128__step_22__scale_3__b_128/ out_Glow_SVHN
ln -s ../glow/out/SVHN_aug/w_128__step_22__scale_3__b_128/ out_Glow_SVHN_aug
ln -s ../glow/out/CIFAR10/w_128__step_22__scale_3__b_128/ out_Glow_CIFAR10
ln -s ../glow/out/CIFAR10_aug/w_128__step_22__scale_3__b_128/ out_Glow_CIFAR10_aug

Preparation 2. Create tfrecords

cd vae/util/

and

python svhn.py --data_dir=<YOUR_PATH>

or

python cifar10.py --data_dir=<YOUR_PATH>

Preparation 3. Building transfomer(VAE/Glow)

For VAE,

cd vae
python build_AE.py

and for Glow,

cd glow
python main.py

For both, target datasets are identified in config.py (for VAE) or config_glow.py (for Glow). For VAE, you have to change the directory name where the trained model will be saved so as to accord to the one referred to by the symbolic links created in Preparation 1. For Glow, the trained model can be referred as it is.

Training Classifier with LVAT

cd lvat

and for example

python train_semisup.py --data_set=SVHN --num_epochs=200
--epoch_decay_start=80 --epsilon=1.5 --top_bn --method=lvat --log__dir=./out
--data__dir=<YOUR_PATH> --num_iter_per_epoch=400
--batch_size=32 --ul_batch_size=128 --num_labeled_examples=1000
--is_aug=True --ae_type=Glow

Description

• --data_set can choose from either SVHN or CIFAR10.
• <YOUR_PATH> that will be given as --data__dir should be the same as the one you identified in the above Preparation 2.
• --log__dir is the directory name where the check-point file will be saved.
• --epsilon is the magnitude of perturbation, which is commonly used for both --method=lvat and --method=vat.
• If you set --metod=vat, then it works as the original vat.
• You can choose the transfomer from VAE and Glow by --ae_type=VAE and --ae_type=Glow, respectively.

Important

For SVHN, --top_bn option is necessary to achieve good results.
