No object detected in inference after fine-tuning on custom dataset
Dear all, I am fine-tuning SAM3 on a custom astronomical dataset formatted in a COCO format. The dataset contains 5 object classes (custom naming), segmentation masks/bboxes and I have added a "noun_phrase" for each annotation. I adapted the roboflow train configuration file, making these changes:
- set dataset & log paths
- enable segmentation (loss & metrics)
- adapted collator to perform runs with gradient accumulation >1
- add sam3.train.transforms.segmentation.DecodeRle in validation transforms
- set Slurm job parameters (batch=8, gradacc=8, 4 A100 GPUs)
- comment some roboflow settings (supercategory, task array)
- I have added in the code the possibility to freeze the backbone or other components (freeze_cfg config, commented out below)
I fine-tuned for 20 epochs both with all model components free (840M trainable pars) and also with backbone frozen (32.7M trainable pars). I set training configuration (learning rate, etc) to roboflow defaults. Below, I attach the training all loss and eval metrics in the two runs:

As far as I understood from metrics and loss, the model is indeed learning something, although for sure I need to train more and with optimized parameters. Now I would like to run inference on a single image using the fine-tuning checkpoint and the example script https://github.com/facebookresearch/sam3/blob/main/examples/sam3_image_predictor_example.ipynb. However, when I run the inference script on train/eval images using the same noun_phrase prompt and a low confidence score (0.1) no objects are detected.
When I load the model I see a log saying that many model component keys are missing:
loaded [RUN DIR]/checkpoints/checkpoint.pt and found missing and/or unexpected keys: missing_keys=['backbone.vision_backbone.trunk.pos_embed', 'backbone.vision_backbone.trunk.patch_embed.proj.weight', 'backbone.vision_backbone.trunk.blocks.0.norm1.weight', 'backbone.vision_backbone.trunk.blocks.0.norm1.bias', 'backbone.vision_backbone.trunk.blocks.0.attn.freqs_cis', 'backbone.vision_backbone.trunk.blocks.0.attn.qkv.weight', 'backbone.vision_backbone.trunk.blocks.0.attn.qkv.bias', 'backbone.vision_backbone.trunk.blocks.0.attn.proj.weight', 'backbone.vision_backbone.trunk.blocks.0.attn.proj.bias', 'backbone.vision_backbone.trunk.blocks.0.norm2.weight', 'backbone.vision_backbone.trunk.blocks.0.norm2.bias', 'backbone.vision_backbone.trunk.blocks.0.mlp.fc1.weight', ... ...
Could someone give me some hint on what I am doing wrong? Is it a matter of fine-tuning (category embedding, hyperparameters, etc) or how I do the inference (input data normalization/transform) or both?
Thanks a lot.
