Running code out-of-the-box gives low accuracy

Running code out-of-the-box gives low accuracy

[wheatdog]

This is shocking while interesting. I am wondering what is the highest version that ADDA would work properly. Maybe we can start investigating from there.

[EDIT 2018-12-18]

Hi,

I run the code out of the box (SVHN to MNIST) and got different behavior depending on the version of Tensorflow. I detail below the results i got when I run the code three times with v1.0.0 (the one used for the paper I guess) three times with the v1.4.0 (two others are running currently) and three times with v1.12.0.

v1.0.0 >>> OK
v1.4.0 >>> NOT OK
v1.12.0 >>> NOT OK

** @erictzeng , do you have an idea of what could possibly be the reason of such a different behavior ?**

With TensorFlow v1.0.0 everything is fine with 76.5%, 76.0% and 75.8% (except the source only performace in the third run which is a little higher than the error margin given in the paper 60.0 +- 1.1 %). Here are the detailed outputs:

Thanks @wheatdog for your quick tests with those two versions of Tensorflow (v1.0.1., v1.2.1). Apparently there is already a drop of performance in the first run of v1.0.1 (68.0 %). But considering that the two other runs of v1.0.1 (75.4 % twice) are consistent with the paper results it is hard to conclude that the code was broken in the change between v1.0.0 and v1.0.1... I will run again several times on v1.0.0 to check if such a drop happens.

On the contrary the tests you provided with v1.2.1 show that from v1.0.1 something has strongly changed (73% and 80 % ...)!

[EDIT 2018-12-19]
Indeed a drop happenned in run 6 of v1.0.0 (here: #4 (comment)). So it is probably not in between v1.0.0 and v1.0.1 that the code is broken ..

[wheatdog]

Thanks @emmanuelrouxfr. I also want to know whether ADDA actually behave more consistently in v1.0.0.

BTW, I install different version of tensorflow using conda like this.

#!/bin/bash

TF_VERSION=1.0.1

cp -r adda adda-$TF_VERSION
cd adda-$TF_VERSION

conda create -n adda-$TF_VERSION python=3.6 tensorflow-gpu=$TF_VERSION -y

source activate adda-$TF_VERSION

pip install -r <(tail -n7 requirements.txt )
export PYTHONPATH="$PWD:$PYTHONPATH"
scripts/svhn-mnist.sh

echo "Using $TF_VERSION"
