Question about "GResNet" and "collect" #49

Closed AndiezPham closed 3 years ago

AndiezPham commented 3 years ago

Hi, thank you for your framework! I'm working on STR problem and I just glimpse your repo. Could you help me answer two questions?

  1. What is the meaning of "G" charater in "GResNet"? I think that the "G" is a special character. :D

  2. In the config of repo, I caught the loc "collect=dict(type='CollectBlock', from_layer='c4'),". What is the purpose of using CollectBlock? Why don't you forward the last feature from the current block directly to the next block?

I hope you can explain it. Thank you!

  1. “G” for generalized.
  2. This design is good for abstraction and modularity which is considered from the perspective of software engineering.
