SplitMixer: Fat Trimmed From MLP-like Models (Arxiv)

PyTorch implementation of the SplitMixer MLP model for visual recognition

by Ali Borji and Sikun Lin

Code overview

The most important code is in splitmixer.py. We trained SplitMixers (on ImageNet) using the timm framework, which we copied from here.

For CIFAR-{10,100} trainings or standalone model definitions, please refer to the cifar notebook.

Inside pytorch-image-models, we have made the following modifications:

• Added ConvMixers
  • added timm/models/splitmixer.py
  • modified timm/models/__init__.py
