This repository contains source code for the experiments in a paper titled Semi-Supervised Learning with Ladder Networks by A Rasmus, H Valpola, M Honkala, M Berglund, and T Raiko.
Required libraries
Install Theano, Blocks Stable 0.2, Fuel Stable 0.2
Refer to the Blocks installation instructions for details but use tag v0.2 instead. Something along:
pip install git+git://github.com/mila-udem/[email protected]
pip install git+git://github.com/mila-udem/[email protected]
Fuel comes with Blocks, but you need to download and convert the datasets. Refer to the Fuel documentation. One might need to rename the converted files.
fuel-download mnist
fuel-convert mnist --dtype float32
fuel-download cifar10
fuel-convert cifar10
Alternatively, one can use the environment.yml file that is provided in this repo to create an conda environment.
- First install anaconda from https://www.continuum.io/downloads. Then,
conda env create -f environment.ymlsource activate ladder- The environment should be good to go!
Models in the paper
The following commands train the models with seed 1. The reported numbers in the paper are averages over several random seeds. These commands use all the training samples for training (--unlabeled-samples 60000) and none are used for validation. This results in a lot of NaNs being printed during the trainining, since the validation statistics are not available. If you want to observe the validation error and costs during the training, use --unlabeled-samples 50000.

Evaluating models with testset
After training a model, you can infer the results on a test set by performing the evaluate command. An example use after training a model:
./run.py evaluate results/mnist_all_bottom0
