How can I use DetNAS in my datasets about Object Detection？

[Yaolang003]

Do I need to pre-training on imageNet? What's meaning of pre-training on imagenet? Can I use DetNAS in distillation model and How do I do?Appreciate it!

From what I understand, you can use the trained model from orginal repo for step 1. https://github.com/megvii-model/DetNAS

@Yaolang003 Using DetNAS in distillation model means distilling the searched model by DetNAS ?

I think you still need to train step 1 with ImageNet ILSVRC2012_img_train data. From step 1 pretrained model then step 2 can be trained.

@Yaolang003 In the paper， experiments tell us that pre-training on ImageNet can get a better result. Whether do your final question mean to distill your searcher model with DetNAS?
