✅ Instructions to run the notebooks:

1. For Phase I:

Run the cells inside the AML_Initial_Model_Selection.ipynb notebook sequentially to train and test the three Unaugmented networks (EF, Siam-Conc. & Siam-Diff.).

Use the default values in the Dataset Downloader & Dataset Characteristics cells.

2. For Phase II:

Run the cells inside the AML_Data_Augmentation.ipynb notebook sequentially to train and test Edge-Augmented & MRA-Augmented networks.

Run the cells inside the AML_Pretrain.ipynb notebook sequentially to train and test Feature-Augmented networks.

Use the default values in the Dataset Downloader & Dataset Characteristics cells. Use the default values in the Subset Choice cell.

3. For Phase III:

Dataset Shift & Noise Robustness:

Run the first cell inside the AML_Evaluation.ipynb notebook with both the dataset choices (“LEVIRCD_Plus” & “WHU”) to download the primary and alternate dataset.

Run the second cell inside the AML_Evaluation.ipynb notebook to import requisite libraries.

Scroll to the Phase III Dataset Shift & Noise Robustness results section of the notebook, and run the cells sequentially to reproduce the results.

Few-shot Learning:

Run the cells inside the AML_Unaugmented.ipynb notebook sequentially to train and test few-shot learning for Unaugmented EF network.

Run the cells inside the AML_Data_Augmentation.ipynb notebook sequentially to train and test few-shot learning for Edge-Augmented & MRA-Augmented EF network.
