We propose ConvNeXt, a pure ConvNet model constructed entirely from standard ConvNet modules. ConvNeXt is accurate, efficient, scalable and very simple in design.

ImageNet-1K trained models (isotropic)

Installation

Please check INSTALL.md for installation instructions.

Evaluation

We give an example evaluation command for a ImageNet-22K pre-trained, then ImageNet-1K fine-tuned ConvNeXt-B:

Single-GPU

python main.py --model convnext_base --eval true \
--resume https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/convnext/convnext_base_22k_1k_224.pth \
--input_size 224 --drop_path 0.2 \
--data_path /path/to/imagenet-1k

Multi-GPU

python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=8 main.py \
--model convnext_base --eval true \
--resume https://dl.fbaipublicfiles.com/convnext/convnext_base_22k_1k_224.pth \
--input_size 224 --drop_path 0.2 \
--data_path /path/to/imagenet-1k

This should give

* [email protected] 85.820 [email protected] 97.868 loss 0.563

• For evaluating other model variants, change --model, --resume, --input_size accordingly. You can get the url to pre-trained models from the tables above.
• Setting model-specific --drop_path is not strictly required in evaluation, as the DropPath module in timm behaves the same during evaluation; but it is required in training. See TRAINING.md or our paper for the values used for different models.

Training

See TRAINING.md for training and fine-tuning instructions.
