Implementation

This code is implemented by a modified MXNet which supports ResNeXt-like augmentation. (This version of MXNet does not support cudnn7)

ImageNet data preparation

Download the ImageNet dataset and create pass through rec (following tornadomeet's repository but using unchange mode)

Run

• bash init.sh
• modify config/cfgs.py
• python train.py

Single Model, Single Crop Validation Error:

Note: The symbol of our modified ResNet-50 (following SENet Appendix B) is available in Dropbox. The mean RGB for our modified ResNet-50 is [123.68, 116.28, 103.53], std is [58.395, 57.12, 57.375]. For Inception-BN, we don't need to do data pre-processing since we add a BN layer in the beginning of the network.
