Semi-supervised Adaptive Distillation is a model compression method for object detection. Please refer to our paper for more details. The code is implemented with official detectron and Caffe2.
| Student model | Baseline mAP | Teacher model | Baseline mAP | Student mAP after distillation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ResNet-50 | 34.3 | ResNet-101 | 36.0 | 36.5 |
| ResNet-101 | 34.4 | ResNext-101 | 36.6 | 36.8 |
We use the input scale of 600 for ResNet-50 and 500 for ResNet-101. The results are reported on COCO mini-val.
We include the custom caffe2 in our code. The requirements is the same as the offical detectron and Caffe2. To run our codes with official Caffe2, please add 2 operators. One is located at caffe2/modules/detectron/pow_sum_op.h and the other is located at caffe2/modules/detectron/sigmoid_focal_distillation_loss_op.h.
Please follow the official installation step of detectron.
