Data Preparation

Download our processed datasets

For simplicity, you are welcome to download our processed datasets on which our experiments are conducted from google drive.

Each dataset is organized into the following structure:

.
|-- train
|   |-- Category 1
|   |   |-- Sample 1
|   |   |-- Sample 2
|   |   |-- ...
|   |   `-- Sample M
|   |-- Category 2
|   |-- ...
|   `-- Catergory N
|-- test
`-- valid

Process your own datasets

If you'd like to generate customized datasets, please refer to preprocessing scripts provided in dataset. Note that you need to change several file paths accordingly.

Run NetMamba

Run pre-training:

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python src/pre-train.py \\
    --batch_size 128 \\
    --blr 1e-3 \\
    --steps 150000 \\
    --mask_ratio 0.9 \\
    --data_path <your-dataset-dir> \\
    --output_dir <your-output-dir> \\
    --log_dir <your-output-dir> \\
    --model net_mamba_pretrain \\
    --no_amp

Run fine-tuning (including evaluation)

CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python src/fine-tune.py \\
    --blr 2e-3 \\
    --epochs 120 \\
    --nb_classes <num-class> \\
    --finetune <pretrain-checkpoint-path> \\
    --data_path <your-dataset-dir> \\
    --output_dir <your-output-dir> \\
    --log_dir <your-output-dir> \\
    --model net_mamba_classifier \\
    --no_amp

Note that you should replace variable in the < > format with your actual values.
