What's New

❗Updates after Oct 10, 2022 are available in version >= 0.9❗

• Many changes since the last 0.6.x stable releases. They were previewed in 0.8.x dev releases but not everyone transitioned.
• timm.models.layers moved to timm.layers:
  • from timm.models.layers import name will still work via deprecation mapping (but please transition to timm.layers).
  • import timm.models.layers.module or from timm.models.layers.module import name needs to be changed now.
• Builder, helper, non-model modules in timm.models have a _ prefix added, ie timm.models.helpers -> timm.models._helpers, there are temporary deprecation mapping files but those will be removed.
• All models now support architecture.pretrained_tag naming (ex resnet50.rsb_a1).
  • The pretrained_tag is the specific weight variant (different head) for the architecture.
  • Using only architecture defaults to the first weights in the default_cfgs for that model architecture.
  • In adding pretrained tags, many model names that existed to differentiate were renamed to use the tag (ex: vit_base_patch16_224_in21k -> vit_base_patch16_224.augreg_in21k). There are deprecation mappings for these.
• A number of models had their checkpoints remaped to match architecture changes needed to better support features_only=True, there are checkpoint_filter_fn methods in any model module that was remapped. These can be passed to timm.models.load_checkpoint(..., filter_fn=timm.models.swin_transformer_v2.checkpoint_filter_fn) to remap your existing checkpoint.
• The Hugging Face Hub (https://huggingface.co/timm) is now the primary source for timm weights. Model cards include link to papers, original source, license.
• Previous 0.6.x can be cloned from 0.6.x branch or installed via pip with version.

• Support device args in train script for non GPU devices
• Other misc fixes and small additions
• Min supported Python version increased to 3.8
• Release 0.9.16

Jan 8, 2024

Datasets & transform refactoring

• HuggingFace streaming (iterable) dataset support (--dataset hfids:org/dataset)
• Webdataset wrapper tweaks for improved split info fetching, can auto fetch splits from supported HF hub webdataset
• Tested HF datasets and webdataset wrapper streaming from HF hub with recent timm ImageNet uploads to https://huggingface.co/timm
• Make input & target column/field keys consistent across datasets and pass via args
• Full monochrome support when using e:g: --input-size 1 224 224 or --in-chans 1, sets PIL image conversion appropriately in dataset
• Improved several alternate crop & resize transforms (ResizeKeepRatio, RandomCropOrPad, etc) for use in PixParse document AI project
• Add SimCLR style color jitter prob along with grayscale and gaussian blur options to augmentations and args
• Allow train without validation set (--val-split '') in train script
• Add --bce-sum (sum over class dim) and --bce-pos-weight (positive weighting) args for training as they're common BCE loss tweaks I was often hard coding

Aug 28, 2023

• Add dynamic img size support to models in vision_transformer.py, vision_transformer_hybrid.py, deit.py, and eva.py w/o breaking backward compat.
  • Add dynamic_img_size=True to args at model creation time to allow changing the grid size (interpolate abs and/or ROPE pos embed each forward pass).
  • Add dynamic_img_pad=True to allow image sizes that aren't divisible by patch size (pad bottom right to patch size each forward pass).
  • Enabling either dynamic mode will break FX tracing unless PatchEmbed module added as leaf.
  • Existing method of resizing position embedding by passing different img_size (interpolate pretrained embed weights once) on creation still works.
  • Existing method of changing patch_size (resize pretrained patch_embed weights once) on creation still works.
  • Example validation cmd python validate.py /imagenet --model vit_base_patch16_224 --amp --amp-dtype bfloat16 --img-size 255 --crop-pct 1.0 --model-kwargs dynamic_img_size=True dyamic_img_pad=True

Introduction

PyTorch Image Models (timm) is a collection of image models, layers, utilities, optimizers, schedulers, data-loaders / augmentations, and reference training / validation scripts that aim to pull together a wide variety of SOTA models with ability to reproduce ImageNet training results.

The work of many others is present here. I've tried to make sure all source material is acknowledged via links to github, arxiv papers, etc in the README, documentation, and code docstrings. Please let me know if I missed anything.

Features

Models

All model architecture families include variants with pretrained weights. There are specific model variants without any weights, it is NOT a bug. Help training new or better weights is always appreciated.

Other

Several (less common) features that I often utilize in my projects are included. Many of their additions are the reason why I maintain my own set of models, instead of using others' via PIP:

• All models have a common default configuration interface and API for
  • accessing/changing the classifier - get_classifier and reset_classifier
  • doing a forward pass on just the features - forward_features (see documentation)
  • these makes it easy to write consistent network wrappers that work with any of the models
• All models support multi-scale feature map extraction (feature pyramids) via create_model (see documentation)
  • create_model(name, features_only=True, out_indices=..., output_stride=...)
  • out_indices creation arg specifies which feature maps to return, these indices are 0 based and generally correspond to the C(i + 1) feature level.
  • output_stride creation arg controls output stride of the network by using dilated convolutions. Most networks are stride 32 by default. Not all networks support this.
  • feature map channel counts, reduction level (stride) can be queried AFTER model creation via the .feature_info member
• All models have a consistent pretrained weight loader that adapts last linear if necessary, and from 3 to 1 channel input if desired
• High performance reference training, validation, and inference scripts that work in several process/GPU modes:
  • NVIDIA DDP w/ a single GPU per process, multiple processes with APEX present (AMP mixed-precision optional)
  • PyTorch DistributedDataParallel w/ multi-gpu, single process (AMP disabled as it crashes when enabled)
  • PyTorch w/ single GPU single process (AMP optional)
• A dynamic global pool implementation that allows selecting from average pooling, max pooling, average + max, or concat([average, max]) at model creation. All global pooling is adaptive average by default and compatible with pretrained weights.
• A 'Test Time Pool' wrapper that can wrap any of the included models and usually provides improved performance doing inference with input images larger than the training size. Idea adapted from original DPN implementation when I ported (https://github.com/cypw/DPNs)
• Learning rate schedulers
  • Ideas adopted from
    • AllenNLP schedulers
    • FAIRseq lr_scheduler
    • SGDR: Stochastic Gradient Descent with Warm Restarts (https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.03983)
  • Schedulers include step, cosine w/ restarts, tanh w/ restarts, plateau

Getting Started (Documentation)

The official documentation can be found at https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/timm. Documentation contributions are welcome.

Getting Started with PyTorch Image Models (timm): A Practitioner’s Guide by Chris Hughes is an extensive blog post covering many aspects of timm in detail.

timmdocs is an alternate set of documentation for timm. A big thanks to Aman Arora for his efforts creating timmdocs.

paperswithcode is a good resource for browsing the models within timm.

Train, Validation, Inference Scripts

The root folder of the repository contains reference train, validation, and inference scripts that work with the included models and other features of this repository. They are adaptable for other datasets and use cases with a little hacking. See documentation.

Licenses

Code

The code here is licensed Apache 2.0. I've taken care to make sure any third party code included or adapted has compatible (permissive) licenses such as MIT, BSD, etc. I've made an effort to avoid any GPL / LGPL conflicts. That said, it is your responsibility to ensure you comply with licenses here and conditions of any dependent licenses. Where applicable, I've linked the sources/references for various components in docstrings. If you think I've missed anything please create an issue.

Pretrained Weights

So far all of the pretrained weights available here are pretrained on ImageNet with a select few that have some additional pretraining (see extra note below). ImageNet was released for non-commercial research purposes only (https://image-net.org/download). It's not clear what the implications of that are for the use of pretrained weights from that dataset. Any models I have trained with ImageNet are done for research purposes and one should assume that the original dataset license applies to the weights. It's best to seek legal advice if you intend to use the pretrained weights in a commercial product.

Pretrained on more than ImageNet

Several weights included or references here were pretrained with proprietary datasets that I do not have access to. These include the Facebook WSL, SSL, SWSL ResNe(Xt) and the Google Noisy Student EfficientNet models. The Facebook models have an explicit non-commercial license (CC-BY-NC 4.0, https://github.com/facebookresearch/semi-supervised-ImageNet1K-models, https://github.com/facebookresearch/WSL-Images). The Google models do not appear to have any restriction beyond the Apache 2.0 license (and ImageNet concerns). In either case, you should contact Facebook or Google with any questions.
