Dependencies

• Python 3
• PyTorch 0.4.0 (and torchvision)

Dataset

Set up ImageNet dataset according to https://github.com/pytorch/examples/tree/master/imagenet.

Supported Architectures

• ResNets - resnet18, resnet34, resnet50, resnet101, resnet152
• Pre-activation ResNets (PreResNets) - preresnet18, preresnet34, preresnet50, preresnet101, preresnet152, preresnet200
• ResNeXts - resnext50, resnext101, resnext152

Training

python main.py -a resnext101 [imagenet-folder with train and val folders]

Evaluation

The different SDPoint instances are evaluated one by one. For each instance, the model accumulates Batch Norm statistics from the training set. The validation results (top-1 and top-5 accuracies) and model FLOPs are saved to the file with the filename specified by --val-results-path [default: val_results.txt].

python main.py -a resnext101 --resume checkpoint.pth.tar --evaluate [imagenet-folder with train and val folders]
