Configuration

Experiment Name Convention

Taking 001_MSRResNet_x4_f64b16_DIV2K_1000k_B16G1_wandb as an example:

001: We usually use index for managing experiments
MSRResNet: Model name, here is Modified SRResNet
x4_f64b16: Import configuration parameters. It means the upsampling ratio is 4; the channel number of middle features is 64; and it uses 16 residual block
DIV2K: Training data is DIV2K
1000k: Total training iteration is 1000k
B16G1: Batch size is 16; one GPU is used for training
wandb: Use wandb logger; the training process has beed uploaded to wandb server

Note: If debug is in the experiment name, it will enter the debug mode. That is, the program will log and validate more intensively and will not use tensorboard logger and wandb logger.

Configuration Explanation

We use yaml files for configuration.

Training Configuration
