README.md

This repository contains the code for all the experiments in 'Contrasting the landscape of contrastive and non-contrastive learning'. This code has been developed collaboratively by Jinjin Tian, Yuchen Li and Ashwini Pokle.

Getting Started

Requirements

Python >= 3.6 and PyTorch >= 1.7.

To install requirements:

$ conda create --name <env> --file requirements.txt

Training

To train models, run any of the following files with appropriate commandline arguments:

• main.py to train models with non-contrastive loss as defined in our paper.
• main_simclr.py to train models with variants of contrastive loss, including SimCLR loss and architecture.
• main_simsiam.py to train models with SimSiam loss objective and architecture.

For more concrete examples, check script files provided in scripts directory, where we have provided several files used to run experiments included in our paper.

Several hyperparameters have been included in the files in config directory.

Currenlty, by default, all the logging is done in wandb. Include --log_metrics in the command while training the model.
