PaddlePaddle / PLSC

Introduction

PLSC is an open source repo for a collection of Paddle Large Scale Classification Tools, which supports large-scale classification model pre-training as well as finetune for downstream tasks.

Available Models

• ViT
• DeiT
• Face Recognition

Top News 🔥

Update (2022-07-18): PLSC v2.3 is released, a new upgrade, more modular and highly extensible. Support more tasks, such as ViT, DeiT. The static graph mode will no longer be maintained as of this release.

Update (2022-01-11): Supported NHWC data format of FP16 to improve 10% throughtput and decreased 30% GPU memory. It supported 92 million classes on single node 8 NVIDIA V100 (32G) and has high training throughtput. Supported best checkpoint save. And we released 18 pretrained models and PLSC v2.2.

Update (2021-12-11): Released Zhihu Technical Artical and Bilibili Open Class

Update (2021-10-10): Added FP16 training, improved throughtput and optimized GPU memory. It supported 60 million classes on single node 8 NVIDIA V100 (32G) and has high training throughtput.

Update (2021-09-10): This repository supported both static mode and dynamic mode to use paddlepaddle v2.2, which supported 48 million classes on single node 8 NVIDIA V100 (32G). It added PartialFC, SparseMomentum, and ArcFace, CosFace (we refer to MarginLoss). Backbone includes IResNet and MobileNet.
