Implement of MAS on MXNet

This is an implement of MAS on MXNet.

Origin MAS on pytorch

what does this project finish

• standard setup and training on several task.
• finally calculate accuracy on each task.

environment

• mxnet-cu80 on version 1.1.0.post0
• python 2.7

how to use

1. clone the project

$ git clone https://github.com/mingzhang96/MAS-mxnet.git
$ cd MAS-mxnet
$ mkdir ckpt && mkdir data && mkdir reg_params

2. We assume that you are in the $MAS-mxnet directory, and in $MAS-mxnet/data the mnist (.gz) data stays there.

python train_mnist.py

result

we use mlp instead of AlexNet as our base model.

notice: we use model trained on last task to test other tasks.

tips

• the more tasks are, the more epoch need to train.
• use small train_lr to finetune.
• the last fc performs well if it has large output.
