How many image pairs do i need to train a Siamese network?

I am trying to train a Siamese network. I am using att_faces dataset , which has 40 face IDs with 10 face images each for each face ID. I am using Triplet Loss And i am using resnet18 pretrained weights. But the model doesnt seem to learn much on the training set. Any suggestions?

I have 2 major doubts.

  1. Is att_faces dataset (40x10 = 400 images) sufficient to train a Siamese network (from scratch or even by using pretrained resnet18) ?

  2. What margin should i use for the Triplet Loss?

You can check my code here
