What is training on patchCore? (I think that patchCore does not have training phase)

Hello Sir.

I have interesting anomaly detection.
I found your code in paperwithcode, I want to try to test your code.

I think that patchCore does not have training-phase (Neural Networks) as PaDiM.
But your code has training-phase.

What is this??

Thanks,
Edward Cho.

Hi~
Yes. PatchCore does not need a training.
In the code it just extract features and does not update parameters.
The term "train" is just part of methods name predefined by pytorch-lightning.

Hello Sir,

Thank your for your reply quickly.

But I confuse that I saw "num_epochs" in Input-parameters.
You did set that "num_epochs" : 1 only,
If I do change this value (ex: num_epochs : 100), what happened ?? is this not correct??

Thanks,
Edward Cho.
