ResNet strikes back: a simple better training in timm brings new life to a classic
Good news for people who like dependable tools: a classic neural network was retrained with a few smart tweaks and it performs a lot better, without needing extra images or weird tricks.
The team share updated settings in the timm library so anyone can try them, and you can reuse the models right away.
A plain ResNet-50 trained this way reaches about 80.
4% top-1 accuracy on a common image test, that’s impressive for a long-known model.
The changes are mostly about better training steps and smarter image tweaks during learning, not new model parts.
That means schools, hobbyists, and small teams can get stronger results without buying more data.
It’s exciting because old, trusted models become useful again, faster and cheaper to run, and easy to copy.
Try it if you like stable, familiar networks — the files are open, and the recipe is simple enough that many people could use it right now, no deep tricks needed.
