Person Attribute Recognition Bad Results

[mohamedabdallah1996]

Hi @KaiyangZhou, Thank you for sharing this awesome work. I trained the person attribute model on the PA100k dataset but the results were not good even after training for 50 epochs. and when I tested the model on another pedestrian dataset, I found that all the ages predicted are between 18-60 and the gender in most cases is Female, so it seems that the model couldn't generalize at all.

This is train.sh file I have used:

#!/bin/bash

# DATASET points to the directory containing pa100k/
DATASET=$1

python main.py \
--root ${DATASET} \
-d pa100k \
-a osnet_maxpool \
--max-epoch 50 \
--stepsize 30 40 \
--batch-size 32 \
--lr 0.065 \
--weight-decay 0.1 \
--optim sgd \
--weighted-bce \
--workers 2 \
--save-dir log/pa100k-new \

and this is the best checkpoint I have reached from training on 50 epochs:

 0.8210497  0.5       ]

as you can see most of the attributes have very low accuracy. and from what I have seen during the training, the model learns very slowly and the loss oscillate in a very small range during the 50 epoch training.

so, how can I reach to more robust and good result even on the first four attributes (the most important attributes now for me are the age and gender)?

please give me some advice about that. Thank you in advance.
