Requirements

Dependencies

The code needs TensorFlow and other requirements.

pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo apt-get install python-tk

Dataset

git clone https://github.com/brendenlake/SCAN.git

Main Experiments

We found better hyper-parameters after the paper submission, so that the results should be higher than those in the paper.

Please fix CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES in the scrips.
