Overview

How Tight Can PAC-Bayes be in the Small Data Regime?

This is the code to reproduce all experiments for the following paper:

@inproceedings{Foong:2021:How_Tight_Can_PAC-Bayes_Be,
    title = {How Tight Can {PAC}-{Bayes} Be in the Small Data Regime?},
    year = {2021},
    author = {Andrew Y. K. Foong and Wessel P. Bruinsma and David R. Burt and Richard E. Turner},
    booktitle = {Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems},
    volume = {35},
    eprint = {https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.03542},
}

Every experiment creates a folder in _experiments. The names of the files in those folders should be self-explanatory.

Installation

First, create and activate a virtual environment for Python 3.8.

virtualenv venv -p python3.8 
source venv/bin/activate

Then install an appropriate GPU-accelerated version of PyTorch.

Finally, install the requirements for the project.

pip install -e .

You should now be able to run the below commands.

Generating Datasets

In order to generate the synthetic 1D datasets used, run these commands from inside classification_1d:

python gen_data.py --class_scheme balanced --num_context 30 --name 30-context --num_train_batches 5000 --num_test_batches 64
python gen_data.py --class_scheme balanced --num_context 60 --name 60-context --num_train_batches 5000 --num_test_batches 64

The generated datasets will be in pacbayes/_data_caches

Theory Experiments

See Figure 2 in Section 3 and Appendix G.

python theory_experiments.py --setting det1-1

python theory_experiments.py --setting stoch1
python theory_experiments.py --setting stoch2
python theory_experiments.py --setting stoch3

python theory_experiments.py --setting random --random-seed 1 --random-better-bound maurer
python theory_experiments.py --setting random --random-seed 6 --random-better-bound catoni

GNP Classification Experiments

See Figure 3 and 4 in Section 4 and Appendices I and J. The numbers from the graphs can be found in eval_metrics_no_post_opt.txt (without post optimisation) eval_metrics_post_opt.txt (with post optimisation).
