Train a CNN

We have kindly provided a bash script train.sh to train the models. You can modify some hyperparameters in the script file according to your own needs.

For example, we are going to use 8 GPUs to train ELANDarkNet-S designed in this repo, so we can use the following command:

bash train.sh elandarknet_s imagenet_1k path/to/imagnet_1k 8 1699 None

Evaluate a CNN

• Evaluate the top1 & top5 accuracy of ViT-Tiny on ImageNet-1K dataset:

  python main.py --cuda -dataset imagenet_1k --root path/to/imagnet_1k -m elandarknet_s --batch_size 256 --img_size 224 --eval --resume path/to/elandarknet_s.pth
  

Experimental results

Tips:

• Weak augmentation: includes random hflip and random crop resize.
• Strong augmentation: includes mixup, cutmix, rand aug, random erase and so on. However, we don't use the strong augmentation.
• The AdamW with weight decay = 0.05 and base lr = 4e-3 (for bs of 4096) is deployed as the optimzier, and the CosineAnnealingLR is deployed as the lr scheduler, where the min lr is set to 1e-6.
