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

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

* Acc@1 85.820 Acc@5 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.
