Memory Error, system requirement

[fatemetardasti96]

Thanks for sharing this valuable repo.
I have concerns about the system requirement. What is the required RAM? and on which operating system does it work the best?
I would like to train the network for my dataset. I only take 40 images for TrainingSetPreparation.py and reduced the batch size to 2, on a Linux OS with 16 GB RAM, the program gets killed during the first or the second epoch.
Training on the mentioned datasets (LFPW, HELEN, IBUGS, etc.) is also not possible.
I also tested on a windows system and the result is the same.
I installed py2.7 and the libraries according to ReadMe.

I look forward to seeing your answer.

Hello,
sorry for the late reply. There are not specific requirements, but keep in mind that this method was designed and implemented more than 5 years ago so any modern system should be fine (preferrably one equipped with a GPU).
One thing you may find challenging is installing versions of theano and lasagne that are compatible with modern GPUs as those libraries are not supported for quite a while now.

Also, training on 40 images is unlikely to generalize well, you will likely need a lot more than that, at least hundreds.

Thanks,

Marek
