 # Siamese Network Example
+Siamese network for image similarity estimation.
+The network is composed of two identical networks, one for each input.
+The output of each network is concatenated and passed to a linear layer.
+The output of the linear layer passed through a sigmoid function.
+[FaceNet](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1503.03832.pdf) is a variant of the Siamese network.
+This implementation varies from FaceNet as we use the `ResNet-18` model from
+[Deep Residual Learning for Image Recognition](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1512.03385.pdf) as our feature extractor.
+In addition, we aren't using `TripletLoss` as the MNIST dataset is simple, so `BCELoss` can do the trick.
 
 ```bash
 pip install -r requirements.txt
 python main.py
 # CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=2 python main.py  # to specify GPU id to ex. 2
 ```
+Optionally, you can add the following arguments to customize your execution.
+
+```bash
+--batch-size            input batch size for training (default: 64)
+--test-batch-size       input batch size for testing (default: 1000)
+--epochs                number of epochs to train (default: 14)
+--lr                    learning rate (default: 1.0)
+--gamma                 learning rate step gamma (default: 0.7)
+--accel                 use accelerator
+--dry-run               quickly check a single pass
+--seed                  random seed (default: 1)
+--log-interval          how many batches to wait before logging training status
+--save-model            Saving the current Model
+```
+
+To execute in an GPU, add the --accel argument to the command. For example:
+
+```bash
+python main.py --accel
+```
+
+This command will execute the example on the detected GPU.
