An introduction to the course and agenda of topics
Explore why manually designing convolutional neural networks may miss performance and how design spaces yield simple, effective, generalizable architectures like read net X and read net Y.
In this lesson you'll learn about neural network design spaces.
Explore neural network structure with fixed blocks, depth, width, bottleneck ratio, and group width, and inspect the Internet architecture’s stem, body, head, and X block design space.
In this lesson, you'll learn about the AnyNet design space.
The additional resources will give you more detail on:
1) Designing Convolution Network Architectures - What it means to design a CNN architecture
2) Neural Architecture Search: Everything You Need to Know - A primer on Neural Architecture Search
3) Neural Architecture Search (optional) - An in-depth blog post (lots of math and theory) about Neural Architecture Search
In this lesson, you'll learn about the RegNet design space and the family of architectures that came from it.
Explore RegNet 800 in action for binary Santa versus non Santa classification using the SuperGradients library, with data loading, augmentation, and fine-tuning on a Kaggle dataset.
In this course, you are going to learn about RegNet architecture.
You'll learn what it is, why it's important, and the novelty that it introduced. With all of the free courses that I put on Udemy, I'm focused more on giving you the intuition and the kind of reasoning into the importance of this paper. If you're looking for mathematical details, I'll link to the paper and additional resources that you can go through. The thing about these free courses is that they're limited to no more than an hour, which means I can only fit so much into this course.
You will learn a lot and you'll walk away with a template for a project that you can use, cuz you will see RedNet inaction using the open-source training library called SuperGradients. It'll provide a great foundation for you to just plug and play your own data sets and do a cool image classification project.
Here's what the agenda is like for this course: Start off by talking about the motivation for RegNet: what it is, why is it that we're embarking on this journey. And then from there you'll learn about design spaces and then we'll get into two specific design spaces, the AnyNet design space and the RegNet design space. I'll link to resources that will give you a deeper understanding of these as well.
The course will wrap up with an overview of the analysis and findings that the researchers discovered in their experiments.
And then finally, we'll see RegNet in action using the SuperGradients training library to perform image classification tasks.
