A Second-Order Approach to Learning with Instance-Dependent Label Noise (CVPR'21 oral)

This code is a PyTorch implementation of the paper "A Second-Order Approach to Learning with Instance-Dependent Label Noise" accepted by CVPR 2021 as oral presentation.

Prerequisites

Python 3.6.9

PyTorch 1.4.0

Torchvision 0.5.0

Instructions

Run the code:

CIFAR10:

python run_exptPRLD_C10_CAL.py

CIFAR100:

python run_exptPRLD_C100_CAL.py

The following changes also apply to CIFAR100.

Run the code step-by-step

Step-1: Construct $\hat D$:

Modify Lines 27-34 of run_exptPRLD_C10_CAL.py as:

#-------------- customized parameters --------------#
noise_rate = 0.6 # noise rates = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6

lossfunc = "crossentropy"  # use this lossfunc for constructing D
# lossfunc = "crossentropy_CAL" # use this lossfunc for CAL

gpu_idx = "0"   # Choose one GPU index
#---------------------------------------------------#

Step-2: Train CAL:

Modify Lines 27-34 of run_exptPRLD_C10_CAL.py as:

#-------------- customized parameters --------------#
noise_rate = 0.6 # noise rates = 0.2, 0.4, 0.6

# lossfunc = "crossentropy"  # use this lossfunc for constructing D
lossfunc = "crossentropy_CAL" # use this lossfunc for CAL

gpu_idx = "0"   # Choose one GPU index
#---------------------------------------------------#
