• Object classification on the ImageNet and MS-COCO (multi-label)
• Semantic Segmentation on the PASCAL VOC and the CityScapes
• Object Detection on the PASCAL VOC and the MS-COCO
• Supports PyTorch 1.0
• Integrated with Tensorboard for easy visualization of training logs.
• Scripts for downloading different datasets.

This repo supports following networks:

• ESPNetv2 (Classification, Segmentation, Detection)
• DiCENet (Classification, Segmentation, Detection)
• ShuffleNetv2 (Classification)

• ESPNet (ECCV'18)
• ESPNetv2 (CVPR'19)
• DiCENet (arxiv)

• Faster Training for Efficient Networks
• Semantic segmentation using ESPNetv2

Below figure compares the performance of DiCENet with other efficient networks on the ImageNet dataset. DiCENet outperforms all existing efficient networks, including MobileNetv2 and ShuffleNetv2. More details here

Below figure compares the performance of ESPNet and ESPNetv2 on two different datasets. Note that ESPNets are one of the first efficient networks that delivers competitive performance to existing networks on the PASCAL VOC dataset, even with low resolution images say 256x256. See here for more details.
