I have some problem.

[mostoo45]

I currently use your code about ProtoNet-Omniglot.ipynb

I have not changed the code, but the accuracy and loss value is not changed.

I use tensorflow 1.3

[abdulfatir]

Hi @mostoo45

How do I reproduce the issue?

[mostoo45]

Hi abdulfatir Thank you first, I am studying your code. I got the following error in In [7]:

ValueError: Variable encoder/conv_1/conv2d/kernel already exists, disallowed. Did you mean to set reuse=True in VarScope? Originally defined at:

File "", line 3, in conv_block conv = tf.layers.conv2d(inputs, out_channels, kernel_size=3, padding='SAME') File "", line 3, in encoder net = conv_block(x, h_dim, name='conv_1') File "", line 16, in emb_x = encoder(tf.reshape(x, [num_classes * num_support, im_height, im_width, channels]), h_dim, z_dim)

so I added the following line. tf.reset_default_graph()-->add line x = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [None, None, im_height, im_width, channels]) q = tf.placeholder(tf.float32, [None, None, im_height, im_width, channels]) x_shape = tf.shape(x)

@mostoo45 , I just ran this on my server and it worked flawless. FYI, I use tf 1.6

[bdutta19]

I have problems reproducing results too.. tried to reproduce these results but the loss value doesnt change. I thought it could be a initializer issue and tried a few different initializers but no dice. Also tried tf 1.3 and tf 1.6 neither of them converge.

[mostoo45]

Instead of ipynb, I use py. By using py instead of ipynb, I got a loss and acc that is similar to the existing code.

[bdutta19]

Hi - are you CPU or GPUs .. I just tried by converting the code to a py file. below are the losses.. as you see they are not changing at all also here is a gist of my py file proto-net-omniglot

I dont see anything wrong with the code so will keep looking..

[mostoo45]

I use both of them , tf 1.3 and python3

[PytaichukBohdan]

@mostoo45 Restarting the kernel with clearing an output worked for me

[themis0888]

Same problem to me.. I ran Proto-MiniImagenet and I got followings [epoch 93/100, episode 100/100] => loss: 2.99573, acc: 0.05000 [epoch 94/100, episode 50/100] => loss: 2.99573, acc: 0.05000 [epoch 94/100, episode 100/100] => loss: 2.99573, acc: 0.05000 [epoch 95/100, episode 50/100] => loss: 2.99573, acc: 0.05000 [epoch 95/100, episode 100/100] => loss: 2.99573, acc: 0.05000 [epoch 96/100, episode 50/100] => loss: 2.99573, acc: 0.05000 [epoch 96/100, episode 100/100] => loss: 2.99573, acc: 0.05000 [epoch 97/100, episode 50/100] => loss: 2.99573, acc: 0.05000 [epoch 97/100, episode 100/100] => loss: 2.99573, acc: 0.05000 [epoch 98/100, episode 50/100] => loss: 2.99573, acc: 0.05000 [epoch 98/100, episode 100/100] => loss: 2.99573, acc: 0.05000 [epoch 99/100, episode 50/100] => loss: 2.99573, acc: 0.05000 [epoch 99/100, episode 100/100] => loss: 2.99573, acc: 0.05000 [epoch 100/100, episode 50/100] => loss: 2.99573, acc: 0.05000 [epoch 100/100, episode 100/100] => loss: 2.99573, acc: 0.05000

same accuracy for every episode. And weird thing is that this wasn't happening for Proto-Omniglot. My tensorflow is for GPU and version 1.3

[ylfzr]

@themis0888, I think the problem should be you put your data into wrong place so the data actually is not fed into the model

[abdulfatir]

Many people are facing this issue. Can someone look into it?

[themis0888]

@guohan950106 Hello~ this is the student who faced this issue #1. Actually, I didn't face that problem anymore after that day. I did nothing but it just suddenly gone, so I could not figure out what was the problem. Maybe you can reimplement this on your own to solve this problem.

I found that problem is that, gradient is not flowing backward. It is zero at each step.

Did you find any solution? Any sugestion?

Did you find any solution? Any sugestion?

I found that what @ylfzr mentioned is the issue. I was getting the same numbers. It turns out that managing the folders in Colab can be a little messy and if you don't pay attention you can miss the right data location (it was my case).

[wdayang]

I also faced the problem with acc and loss unchanged

[wdayang]

@themis0888, I think the problem should be you put your data into wrong place so the data actually is not fed into the model

Yes, after managed the the place of the data. the acc and loss changes

[ali7amdi]

Hi @wdayang How did you manage the place of the data to have the acc and loss changing?

[HonFii]

If your acc and loss did not change at all after multiple episodes, it is most likely due to your dataset being misplaced. The correct location should be: prototypical-networks-tensorflow-master\data\omniglot\data\Alphabet_of_the_Magi, ,,,,, blah blah blah
