mmpretrain VS efficientnet

MMClassification: OpenMMLab image classification toolbox and benchmark.

MMClassification or TIMM would be good starting points for training a classification model.

Examples of lightweight models include MobileNet, a computer vision model designed for mobile and embedded vision applications, EfficientDet, an object detection model, and EfficientNet, a CNN that uses compound scaling to enable better performance. All these are lightweight models from Google.

There was a recent paper by Facebook (2022), where they modernise a vanilla ConvNet by using the latest empirical design choices and manage to achieve state-of-the-art performance with it. This was also done before, with EffecientNet in 2019.

Right - I think these days they do more of a balanced tradeoff between width and depth. One more recent CNN, Efficientnet, carefully chooses the width-to-depth ratio to have the best performance for a given compute budget.

EfficientNet a lightweight convolutional neural network architecture achieving the state-of-the-art accuracy with an order of magnitude fewer parameters and FLOPS, on both ImageNet and five other commonly used transfer learning datasets.

Additionally, if you want to custom change the number of filters in the EfficientNet I would suggest using the detailed Keras implementation of the EfficientNet in this repository.
