The question about the teachers' checkpoint

[WangzcBruce]

Excuse me, are these ckpts pretrained by ImageNet? I trained the wideresnet's teacher model with a pretrained ckpt solely on cifar10 initially and found it started at a accuracy of 50%, so I guess the ckpts aren't pretrained on the datasets of cifar10/100. Is that right?

Dear WangzcBruce, May I know which exact pretrained weights you are using? I only provide the teacher weights on CIFAR10 with WideResNet28-2 and 28-10. If those are enough for your own experiments, you can actually train the teacher on your data sets. And make sure your are loading it correctly with mmcls, since mmcls wrap the network architecture with a classifier object.
