Features

• Rich model zoo. Based on the ImageNet-1k classification dataset, PaddleClas provides 29 series of classification network structures and training configurations, 133 models' pretrained weights and their evaluation metrics.

• SSLD Knowledge Distillation. Based on this SSLD distillation strategy, the top-1 acc of the distilled model is generally increased by more than 3%.

• Data augmentation: PaddleClas provides detailed introduction of 8 data augmentation algorithms such as AutoAugment, Cutout, Cutmix, code reproduction and effect evaluation in a unified experimental environment.

• Pretrained model with 100,000 categories: Based on ResNet50_vd model, Baidu open sourced the ResNet50_vd pretrained model trained on a 100,000-category dataset. In some practical scenarios, the accuracy based on the pretrained weights can be increased by up to 30%.

• A variety of training modes, including multi-machine training, mixed precision training, etc.

• A variety of inference and deployment solutions, including TensorRT inference, Paddle-Lite inference, model service deployment, model quantification, Paddle Hub, etc.

• Support Linux, Windows, macOS and other systems.

Model zoo overview

Based on the ImageNet-1k classification dataset, the 29 classification network structures supported by PaddleClas and the corresponding 133 image classification pretrained models are shown below. Training trick, a brief introduction to each series of network structures, and performance evaluation will be shown in the corresponding chapters. The evaluation environment is as follows.

• CPU evaluation environment is based on Snapdragon 855 (SD855).
• The GPU evaluation speed is measured by running 500 times under the FP32+TensorRT configuration (excluding the warmup time of the first 10 times).

Curves of accuracy to the inference time of common server-side models are shown as follows.

Curves of accuracy to the inference time and storage size of common mobile-side models are shown as follows.
