Usage

  1. Install Python 3.8. For convenience, execute the following command.

    pip install -r requirements.txt

  2. Prepare data. You can obtain the well pre-processed datasets from [Google Drive] or [Baidu Drive], Then place the downloaded data in the folder./dataset. Here is a summary of used datasets.
