SwiDeN

This project is a CAFFE implementation for our ACMMM 2016 paper describing Switching Deep Networks(SwiDeN), which is a novel`deep depictive style-based switching mechanism which appropriately addresses the depiction-specific and depiction-invariant aspects of the problem.

Dependencies and Installation

1. Code for SwiDeN is based on CAFFE. This code was tested on UBUNTU 14.04 on the folowing NVIDIA GPUs: NVIDIA TITAN X, NVIDIA K40, NVIDIA K20.

2. To install this version of CAFFE used to realize SwiDeN, install all the dependencies for CAFFE and then execute the following:

   $ git clone https://github.com/val-iisc/swiden.git
   $ cd swiden/caffe/
   $ make all 
   $ make matcaffe #if you have a MATLAB installation and want to link CAFFE to MATLAB
   $ make pycaffe  #if you want to link CAFFE to python

Datasets

We provide a link to the page on which the Photo-Art-50 dataset is hosted. Please cite the papers of the authors of the dataset if you use it. The models for testing SwiDeN can be found here. The train-test splits are located in /swiden/caffe/data/swiden_split/ .
