This repository is the official Pytorch implementation of Self-Supervised Aggregation of Diverse Experts for Test-Agnostic Long-Tailed Recognition (NeurIPS 2022).
- SADE (our method) innovates the expert training scheme by introducing diversity-promoting expertise-guided losses, which train different experts to handle distinct class distributions. In this way, the learned experts would be more diverse than existing multi-expert methods, leading to better ensemble performance, and aggregatedly simulate a wide spectrum of possible class distributions.
- SADE develops a new self-supervised method, namely prediction stability maximization, to adaptively aggregate these experts for better handling unknown test distribution, using unlabeled test class data.

- To install requirements:
pip install -r requirements.txt
- Hardware requirements 8 GPUs with >= 11G GPU RAM are recommended. Otherwise the model with more experts may not fit in, especially on datasets with more classes (the FC layers will be large). We do not support CPU training, but CPU inference could be supported by slight modification.
- Please download these datasets and put them to the /data file.
- ImageNet-LT and Places-LT can be found at here.
- iNaturalist data should be the 2018 version from here.
- CIFAR-100 will be downloaded automatically with the dataloader.
