Dataset preprocessing

TinyImageNet:

1. Download the dataset to "data" directory from this link: http://cs231n.stanford.edu/tiny-imagenet-200.zip
2. Unzip the downloaded file under "data" directory.
3. Lastly, to reformat the validation set, under the folder "data/tiny-imagenet-200", run:

python3 preprocess_tiny_imagenet.py

Running Instructions

Shell scripts to reproduce experimental results in our paper are under "run_scripts" folder. Simply changing the "ALPHA" variable to run under different degree of heterogeneity.

Here are commands that replicate our results:

FedAvg on CIFAR10:

bash run_scripts/cifar10_fedavg.sh

FedAvg + FedDecorr on CIFAR10:

bash run_scripts/cifar10_fedavg_feddecorr.sh

Experiments on other methods (FedAvgM, FedProx, MOON) and other datasets (CIFAR100, TinyImageNet) follow the similar manner.
