Model description

A Dual Path Network (DPN) is a convolutional neural network which presents a new topology of connection paths internally. The intuition is that ResNets enables feature re-usage while DenseNet enables new feature exploration, and both are important for learning good representations. To enjoy the benefits from both path topologies, Dual Path Networks share common features while maintaining the flexibility to explore new features through dual path architectures.

Step 1: Installing

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Sign up and login in ImageNet official website, then choose 'Download' to download the whole ImageNet dataset. Specify /path/to/imagenet to your ImageNet path in later training process.

The ImageNet dataset path structure should look like:

imagenet
├── train
│   └── n01440764
│       ├── n01440764_10026.JPEG
│       └── ...
├── train_list.txt
├── val
│   └── n01440764
│       ├── ILSVRC2012_val_00000293.JPEG
│       └── ...
└── val_list.txt

Step2: Training

Multiple GPUs on one machine (AMP)

Set data path by export DATA_PATH=/path/to/imagenet. The following command uses all cards to train:

bash train_dpn92_amp_dist.sh
