How combine DynamicRCNN with Cascade-RCNN?

Hello, thanks for your great work! How combine DynamicRCNN with Cascade-RCNN? Have you tried it before? Or do you have some parameter configurations to provide?

Sorry for the late reply, I am kind of busy recently.

I haven't tried to combine them before since they actually explore different aspects to improve object detection. From my perspective, applying our dynamic design on Cascade R-CNN will be beneficial since Cascade R-CNN ignores the dynamic property in the training procedure. However, considering that Cascade R-CNN has multiple detection heads and specific hand-crafted settings for each head, combining them may require some deliberate design.

I will try to combine them recently if I am available. Also, if you are interested in this topic, you are welcome to share your experience.
