Results and Models

We benchmark the new training schedule (crop training, large batch, unfrozen BN, 50 epochs) introduced in NAS-FPN. RetinaNet is used in the paper.

Backbone	Lr schd	Mem (GB)	Inf time (fps)	box AP	Config	Download
R-50-FPN	50e	12.9	22.9	37.9	config	model | log
R-50-NASFPN	50e	13.2	23.0	40.5	config	model | log

Note: We find that it is unstable to train NAS-FPN and there is a small chance that results can be 3% mAP lower.
