The repo contains our code for VisDA 2020 challenge

What's new

• practical post-process: remove camera bias
• circle loss (class-level and pair-wise)
• memory bank
• Mix precision (FP16)
• Advanced Data augmentation: augmix, auto-augmentation
• pseudo label based method for unsupervised learning
• efficient search and re-rank by faiss
• Multi-GPU (single node DDP)
• SOTA benchmark
• Distillation

Requirement

1. pytorch>=1.2.0
2. yacs
3. sklearn
4. apex
5. faiss (pip install faiss-gpu)
