Author analyzes the propagation formulations behind the residual building blocks, which suggest that the forward and backward signals can be directly propagated from one block to any other block, when using identity mappings as the skip connections and after-addition activation.

Our reproduced model performance on ImageNet-1K is reported as follows.
| Model | Context | Top-1 (%) | Top-5 (%) | Params (M) | Recipe | Download |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| resnetv2_50 | D910x8-G | 76.90 | 93.37 | 25.60 | yaml | weights |
| resnetv2_101 | D910x8-G | 78.48 | 94.23 | 44.55 | yaml | weights |
- Context: Training context denoted as {device}x{pieces}-{MS mode}, where mindspore mode can be G - graph mode or F - pynative mode with ms function. For example, D910x8-G is for training on 8 pieces of Ascend 910 NPU using graph mode.
- Top-1 and Top-5: Accuracy reported on the validation set of ImageNet-1K.
Please refer to the installation instruction in MindCV.
Please download the ImageNet-1K dataset for model training and validation.
- Distributed Training
It is easy to reproduce the reported results with the pre-defined training recipe. For distributed training on multiple Ascend 910 devices, please run
# distributed training on multiple GPU/Ascend devices
mpirun -n 8 python train.py --config configs/resnetv2/resnetv2_50_ascend.yaml --data_dir /path/to/imagenetIf the script is executed by the root user, the
--allow-run-as-rootparameter must be added tompirun.
Similarly, you can train the model on multiple GPU devices with the above mpirun command.
For detailed illustration of all hyper-parameters, please refer to config.py.
Note: As the global batch size (batch_size x num_devices) is an important hyper-parameter, it is recommended to keep the global batch size unchanged for reproduction or adjust the learning rate linearly to a new global batch size.
- Standalone Training
If you want to train or finetune the model on a smaller dataset without distributed training, please run:
# standalone training on a CPU/GPU/Ascend device
python train.py --config configs/resnetv2/resnetv2_50_ascend.yaml --data_dir /path/to/dataset --distribute FalseTo validate the accuracy of the trained model, you can use validate.py and parse the checkpoint path with --ckpt_path.
python validate.py -c configs/resnetv2/resnetv2_50_ascend.yaml --data_dir /path/to/imagenet --ckpt_path /path/to/ckptTo deploy online inference services with the trained model efficiently, please refer to the deployment tutorial.
