• 3rd party implementations are available: Tensorflow, Caffe, JAX.

• Extra ablation study models are available in link

PyTorch Models

• Load using Torch Hub

import torch
# get list of models
torch.hub.list('zhanghang1989/ResNeSt', force_reload=True)

# load pretrained models, using ResNeSt-50 as an example
net = torch.hub.load('zhanghang1989/ResNeSt', 'resnest50', pretrained=True)

• Load using python package

# using ResNeSt-50 as an example
from resnest.torch import resnest50
net = resnest50(pretrained=True)

Gluon Models

• Load pretrained model:

# using ResNeSt-50 as an example
from resnest.gluon import resnest50
net = resnest50(pretrained=True)

Transfer Learning Models

Detectron2

We provide a wrapper for training Detectron2 models with ResNeSt backbone at d2. Training configs and pretrained models are released. See details in d2.

MMDetection

The ResNeSt backbone has been adopted by MMDetection.

Semantic Segmentation

• PyTorch models and training: Please visit PyTorch Encoding Toolkit.
• Gluon models and training: Please visit GluonCV Toolkit.

Verify ImageNet Results:

Note: the inference speed reported in the paper are tested using Gluon implementation with RecordIO data.

Prepare ImageNet dataset:

Here we use raw image data format for simplicity, please follow GluonCV tutorial if you would like to use RecordIO format.

cd scripts/dataset/
# assuming you have downloaded the dataset in the current folder
python prepare_imagenet.py --download-dir ./

Torch Model

# use resnest50 as an example
cd scripts/torch/
python verify.py --model resnest50 --crop-size 224

Gluon Model

# use resnest50 as an example
cd scripts/gluon/
python verify.py --model resnest50 --crop-size 224

How to Train

ImageNet Models

• Training with MXNet Gluon: Please visit Gluon folder.
• Training with PyTorch: Please visit PyTorch Encoding Toolkit (slightly worse than Gluon implementation).

Detectron Models

For object detection and instance segmentation models, please visit our detectron2-ResNeSt fork.

Semantic Segmentation

• Training with PyTorch: Encoding Toolkit.
• Training with MXNet: GluonCV Toolkit.
