[Re] Learning to Learn By Self-Critique

This work is a reproducibility study of the paper of Antoniou and Storkey [2019], published at NeurIPS 2019. Our results are in parts similar to the ones reported in the original paper, supporting the central claim of the paper that the proposed novel method, called Self-Critique and Adapt (SCA), improves the performance of MAML++. The conducted additional experiments on the Caltech-UCSD Birds 200 dataset confirm the superiority of SCA compared to MAML++. In addition, the reproduced paper suggests a novel high-end version of MAML++ for which we could not reproduce the same results. We hypothesize that this is due to the many implementation details that were omitted in the original paper.
