#### News
* Congrats to the ILSVRC 2017 classification challenge winner [WMW](http://image-net.org/challenges/LSVRC/2017/results).
ResNeXt is the foundation of their new SENet architecture (a **ResNeXt-152 (64 x 4d)** with the Squeeze-and-Excitation module)!
* Check out Figure 6 in the new [Memory-Efficient Implementation of DenseNets](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1707.06990.pdf) paper for a comparision between ResNeXts and DenseNets. （*DenseNet cosine is DenseNet trained with cosine learning rate schedule.*）
### Introduction
This repository contains a [Torch](http://torch.ch) implementation for the [ResNeXt](https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.05431) algorithm for image classification. The code is based on [fb.resnet.torch](https://github.com/facebook/fb.resnet.torch).
[ResNeXt](https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.05431) is a simple, highly modularized network architecture for image classification. Our network is constructed by repeating a building block that aggregates a set of transformations with the same topology. Our simple design results in a homogeneous, multi-branch architecture that has only a few hyper-parameters to set. This strategy exposes a new dimension, which we call “cardinality” (the size of the set of transformations), as an essential factor in addition to the dimensions of depth and width.
##### Figure: Training curves on ImageNet-1K. (Left): ResNet/ResNeXt-50 with the same complexity (~4.1 billion FLOPs, ~25 million parameters); (Right): ResNet/ResNeXt-101 with the same complexity (~7.8 billion FLOPs, ~44 million parameters).

### Requirements and Dependencies
See the fb.resnet.torch [installation instructions](https://github.com/facebook/fb.resnet.torch/blob/master/INSTALL.md) for a step-by-step guide.
- Install [Torch](http://torch.ch/docs/getting-started.html) on a machine with CUDA GPU
- Install [cuDNN v4 or v5](https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn) and the Torch [cuDNN bindings](https://github.com/soumith/cudnn.torch/tree/R4)
- Download the [ImageNet](http://image-net.org/download-images) dataset and [move validation images](https://github.com/facebook/fb.resnet.torch/blob/master/INSTALL.md#download-the-imagenet-dataset) to labeled subfolders
### Training
Please follow [fb.resnet.torch](https://github.com/facebook/fb.resnet.torch) for the general usage of the code, including [how](https://github.com/facebook/fb.resnet.torch/tree/master/pretrained) to use pretrained ResNeXt models for your own task.
There are two new hyperparameters need to be specified to determine the bottleneck template:
**-baseWidth** and **-cardinality**
### 1x Complexity Configurations Reference Table
| baseWidth | cardinality |
|---------- | ----------- |
| 64 | 1 |
| 40 | 2 |
| 24 | 4 |
| 14 | 8 |
| 4 | 32 |
To train ResNeXt-50 (32x4d) on 8 GPUs for ImageNet:
```bash
th main.lua -dataset imagenet -bottleneckType resnext_C -depth 50 -baseWidth 4 -cardinality 32 -batchSize 256 -nGPU 8 -nThreads 8 -shareGradInput true -data [imagenet-folder]
```
To reproduce CIFAR results (e.g. ResNeXt 16x64d for cifar10) on 8 GPUs:
```bash
th main.lua -dataset cifar10 -bottleneckType resnext_C -depth 29 -baseWidth 64 -cardinality 16 -weightDecay 5e-4 -batchSize 128 -nGPU 8 -nThreads 8 -shareGradInput true
```
To get comparable results using 2/4 GPUs, you should change the batch size and the corresponding learning rate:
```bash
th main.lua -dataset cifar10 -bottleneckType resnext_C -depth 29 -baseWidth 64 -cardinality 16 -weightDecay 5e-4 -batchSize 64 -nGPU 4 -LR 0.05 -nThreads 8 -shareGradInput true
th main.lua -dataset cifar10 -bottleneckType resnext_C -depth 29 -baseWidth 64 -cardinality 16 -weightDecay 5e-4 -batchSize 32 -nGPU 2 -LR 0.025 -nThreads 8 -shareGradInput true
```
Note: CIFAR datasets will be automatically downloaded and processed for the first time. Note that in the arXiv paper CIFAR results are based on pre-activated bottleneck blocks and a batch size of 256. We found that better CIFAR test acurracy can be achieved using original bottleneck blocks and a batch size of 128.
