Where the fine-tuning in the code

[JianqunZhang]

Hi Liu，i appreciate your work very much. In the process of my study, there is a difficult problem to understand. Can tou give me some help. I think fine-tuning should be implemented using test data sets. However, there seems to be no tuning step for the test data in the code. Can you tell me where the fine tuning steps have been implemented? In addition, i use your pytorch code.

Thanks for your interest in our work.

Could you please which test data you refer to? We have meta-train and meta-test stages. In each stage, we will sample episodes. Thus we have episode train and episode test. Do you mean fine-tuning on episode test data?

Thank you for your timely reply. Yes,i do mean fine-tuning on episode test data. I use the test data in the mini-imagement dataset under the meta-test stage. The support set in the test data should be fine tuned FTN + 1, is that right? Thank you very much!

The fine-tuning on the episode test is implemented by the following function:

meta-transfer-learning/pytorch/models/mtl.py

Lines 84 to 107 in 5c12cc4

	def meta_forward(self, data_shot, label_shot, data_query):
	"""The function to forward meta-train phase.
	Args:
	data_shot: train images for the task
	label_shot: train labels for the task
	data_query: test images for the task.
	Returns:
	logits_q: the predictions for the test samples.
	"""
	embedding_query = self.encoder(data_query)
	embedding_shot = self.encoder(data_shot)
	logits = self.base_learner(embedding_shot)
	loss = F.cross_entropy(logits, label_shot)
	grad = torch.autograd.grad(loss, self.base_learner.parameters())
	fast_weights = list(map(lambda p: p[1] - self.update_lr * p[0], zip(grad, self.base_learner.parameters())))
	logits_q = self.base_learner(embedding_query, fast_weights)
	for _ in range(1, self.update_step):
	logits = self.base_learner(embedding_shot, fast_weights)
	loss = F.cross_entropy(logits, label_shot)
	grad = torch.autograd.grad(loss, fast_weights)
	fast_weights = list(map(lambda p: p[1] - self.update_lr * p[0], zip(grad, fast_weights)))
	logits_q = self.base_learner(embedding_query, fast_weights)
	return logits_q
