pycls

pycls is an image classification codebase, written in PyTorch. It was originally developed for the On Network Design Spaces for Visual Recognition project. pycls has since matured and been adopted by a number of projects at Facebook AI Research.

pycls provides a large set of baseline models across a wide range of flop regimes.

Introduction

The goal of pycls is to provide a simple and flexible codebase for image classification. It is designed to support rapid implementation and evaluation of research ideas. pycls also provides a large collection of baseline results (Model Zoo). The codebase supports efficient single-machine multi-gpu training, powered by the PyTorch distributed package, and provides implementations of standard models including ResNet, ResNeXt, EfficientNet, and RegNet.

Using pycls

Please see GETTING_STARTED for brief installation instructions and basic usage examples.

Model Zoo

We provide a large set of baseline results and pretrained models available for download in the pycls Model Zoo; including the simple, fast, and effective RegNet models that we hope can serve as solid baselines across a wide range of flop regimes.

Sweep Code

The pycls codebase now provides powerful support for studying design spaces and more generally population statistics of models as introduced in On Network Design Spaces for Visual Recognition and Designing Network Design Spaces. This idea is that instead of planning a single pycls job (e.g., testing a specific model configuration), one can study the behavior of an entire population of models. This allows for quite powerful and succinct experimental design, and elevates the study of individual model behavior to the study of the behavior of model populations. Please see SWEEP_INFO for details.

Projects

A number of projects at FAIR have been built on top of pycls:
