JAX ResNet - Implementations and Checkpoints for ResNet Variants

A Flax (Linen) implementation of ResNet (He et al. 2015), Wide ResNet
(Zagoruyko & Komodakis 2016), ResNeXt (Xie et al. 2017), ResNet-D (He et al.
2020), and ResNeSt (Zhang et al. 2020). The code is modular so you can mix and
match the various stem, residual, and bottleneck implementations.

Installation

You can install this package from PyPI:

pip install jax-resnet

Or directly from GitHub:

pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/n2cholas/jax-resnet.git

Usage

See the bottom of jax-resnet/resnet.py for the available aliases/options for
the ResNet variants (all models are in Flax)

Pretrained checkpoints from
torch.hub are available for the
following networks:

• ResNet [18, 34, 50, 101, 152]
• WideResNet [50, 101]
• ResNeXt [50, 101]
• ResNeSt [50-Fast, 50, 101, 200, 269]

The models are
tested
to have the same intermediate activations and outputs as the torch.hub
implementations, except ResNeSt-50 Fast, whose activations don’t match exactly
but the final accuracy does.

A pretrained checkpoint for ResNetD-50 is available from
fast.ai.
The activations do not match exactly, but the final accuracy matches.

import jax.numpy as jnp
from jax_resnet import pretrained_resnest
ResNeSt50, variables = pretrained_resnest(50)
model = ResNeSt50()
out = model.apply(variables,
                  jnp.ones((32, 224, 224, 3)),  # ImageNet sized inputs.
                  mutable=False)  # Ensure `batch_stats` aren't updated.

You must install PyTorch yourself
(instructions) to use these
functions.

Transfer Learning

To extract a subset of the model, you can use
Sequential(model.layers[start:end]).

The slice_variables function (found in in
common.py)
allows you to extract the corresponding subset of the variables dict. Check out
that docstring for more information.

Checkpoint Accuracies

The top 1 and top 5 accuracies reported below are on the ImageNet2012
validation split. The data was preprocessed as in the official PyTorch
example.

The ResNeSt validation data was preprocessed as in
zhang1989/ResNeSt.
