two questions about the function G about l2c

1. The precision and recall of G are printed to console if you run this script. The performance of G learned with Omniglot-bg and tested with Omniglot-eval or MNIST are available in Appendix Table 7 and 13 of the paper.
2. The sampler does not aim to solve the imbalance problem completely. The sampler only makes the imbalance problem less severe to make sure the number of similar pairs in a mini-batch is not zero. If the imbalance is a concern in your case, a simple option is to calibrate the threshold of binarization after the G is learned.

Can you please tell me how you converted [sij=0]P(Yi|xi,theta)PYj|xj,theta) to (1-sij)log(1-f(xi,theta)Tf(fxj,theta))
It seems like P(Yi|xi,theta)PYj|xj,theta) ->1-f(xi,theta)Tf(fxj,theta) for no reason.
It conflicts with the theory when 2 classes are differents. Your loss function has a positive class =1 when 2 samples have the same predictions. It means the higher overlap, the loss should be lower. In your case, the lower of overlap, the loss is lower.

Hi linhlt-it-ee, your question was answered in another thread.
