Ranger-Mish-ImageWoof-5
Repo for letting users reproduce the record-setting new RangerMish+Self Attention combo on FastAI Leaderboards - ImageWoof dataset 5 epochs and 20 epochs, 128px.
Contributors to this effort - FastAI board names: @LessW2020 / @muellerzr / @Seb / @grankin / @Redknight / @oguiza
We have established a total of 12 new 5 epoch and 20 epoch records using this setup.
Here's the new 20 epoch results...almost identical parameters as the record 5 epoch setup, just a tiny drop in learning rate:
and screenshot of the max high run:
Two variations - with and without self attention.
Both setups set new records for 5 epoch training on ImageWoof (same day).
The highest scores are with @Sebs self attention layer - this is controlled by the --sa 1 param in the training script:
and current leaderboard:
details of an exceptional peak score:
You can run the notebook with the Self Attention layer as follows:
Below are the results without attention layer (--sa 0, which is default).
How to use:
Just launch the training script - the script references more optimizers, etc. than what is in this repro so stick with --opt ranger for the optimizer. Here's an example:
