:hammer_and_wrench: Installation

• Environment:

  1. Install the conda package and environment management system if not already done.
  2. Execute source setup_env.sh.

• Data preparation:

  1. Download the desired datasets.
  2. Modify the paths in setup_data.sh to point to your installation directories.
  3. Execute source setup_data.sh.

:seedling: Usage

• Training: Execute python main.py with the desired command-line arguments. Some example training scripts, which were used to obtain the results from above, are found in the scripts directory.

• Evalutation: Execute python main.py --eval --eval_task $TASK with the desired command-line arguments, with $TASK chosen from:

  1. analysis: Analyze the computional cost of the given model.
  2. comparison: Compare the results from two different models.
  3. performance: Compute the model performance on the desired benchmark.
  4. profile: Profile the given model.
  5. visualize: Visualize the model predictions.
