SeqNet VS pytorch-image-models

I opened source some works (AAAI 21 SeqNet, ICCV 21 MAED, etc) and earned more than 500 stars. After referring to some popular projects (detectron2, pytorch-image-models, and mmcv), based on my personal development experience, I developed a SIMPLE enough, GENERIC enough, and STRONG enough PyTorch Trainer: core-pytorch-utils, also named CPU. CPU covers most details in the process of training a deep neural network, including:

I am a PyTorch user I work in CV, I usually use the PyTorch models. However, I see people use timm in research papers to train their models I don't understand what it is timm is it a new framework like PyTorch? Further, when I click https://pypi.org/project/timm/ homepage it takes me to hugging face GitHub https://github.com/huggingface/pytorch-image-models is there any connection between timm and hugging face many of my friends use hugging face but I also don't know about hugging face I use simple PyTorch and torchvision.models.

additionally, you might find the timm library handy for this sort of work.

This is still being pursued. Ross Wightmann's timm[0,1] package (now on Hugging Face) has done a lot of this. There's also a V2 of ConvNext[2]. Ross does write about this a lot on Twitter fwiw. I should also mention that there are still many transformer based networks that still beat convs. So there probably won't be a resurgence in convs until someone can show that there's a really strong reason for them. They have some advantages but they also might not be flexible enough for the long range tasks in segmentation and detection. But maybe they are.

FAIR definitely did great work with ConvNext, and I do hope to see more. There always needs to be people pushing unpopular paradigms.

I am doing Binary classification with a pre-trained EfficientNet tf_efficientnet_l2. I froze all weights during training and replaced the classifier with a custom trainable one that looks like:

In this post, I’m going to show you how you can pick from over 900+ SOTA models on TIMM, train them using best practices with Fastai, and deploy them on Android using Flutter.

The other thing is, try to find tricks to speed up your experiments (if not having done so already). The most obvious are mixed precision training, have your model train on a lower resolution input first and then increase the resolution later in the training, stochastic depth, and a bunch more stuffs. Look for implementations in https://github.com/rwightman/pytorch-image-models .
