Introduction

USB is a Pytorch-based Python package for Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL). It is easy-to-use/extend, affordable to small groups, and comprehensive for developing and evaluating SSL algorithms. USB provides the implementation of 14 SSL algorithms based on Consistency Regularization, and 15 tasks for evaluation from CV, NLP, and Audio domain.

Getting Started

This is an example of how to set up USB locally. To get a local copy up, running follow these simple example steps.

Prerequisites

USB is built on pytorch, with torchvision, torchaudio, and transformers.

To install the required packages, you can create a conda environment:

conda create --name usb python=3.8

then use pip to install required packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Installation

We provide a Python package semilearn of USB for users who want to start training/testing the supported SSL algorithms on their data quickly:

pip install semilearn

Development

You can also develop your own SSL algorithm and evaluate it by cloning USB:

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/Semi-supervised-learning.git

Prepare Datasets

The detailed instructions for downloading and processing are shown in Beginning example. Please follow it to download datasets before running or developing algorithms.

Usage

USB is easy to use and extend. Going through the belowing examples will help you faimiliar with USB for quick use, evaluate an exsiting SSL algorithm on your own dataset, or developing new SSL algorithms.

Quick Start with USB package

Please see Installation to install USB first. We provide colab tutorials for:

• Beginning example
• Customize datasets

Start with Docker

Step1: Check your environment

You need to properly install Docker and nvidia driver first. To use GPU in a docker container You also need to install nvidia-docker2 (Installation Guide). Then, Please check your CUDA version via nvidia-smi

Step2: Clone the project

git clone https://github.com/microsoft/Semi-supervised-learning.git

Step3: Build the Docker image

Before building the image, you may modify the Dockerfile according to your CUDA version. The CUDA version we use is 11.6. You can change the base image tag according to this site. You also need to change the --extra-index-url according to your CUDA version in order to install the correct version of Pytorch. You can check the url through Pytorch website.

Use this command to build the image

cd Semi-supervised-learning && docker build -t semilearn .

Job done. You can use the image you just built for your own project. Don't forget to use the argument --gpu when you want to use GPU in a container.

Training

Here is an example to train FixMatch on CIFAR-100 with 200 labels. Trianing other supported algorithms (on other datasets with different label settings) can be specified by a config file:

python train.py --c config/usb_cv/fixmatch/fixmatch_cifar100_200_0.yaml

Evaluation

After trianing, you can check the evaluation performance on training logs, or running evaluation script:

python eval.py --dataset cifar100 --num_classes 100 --load_path /PATH/TO/CHECKPOINT

Develop

Check the developing documentation for creating your own SSL algorithm!
