Pytorch Image Models (aka timm) is a popular computer vision library. If VISSL supported timm models, it would be easy to combine SOTA model architectures from timm with SOTA SSL methods.
Motivation & Examples
timm makes it easy to use hundreds of different model architectures, all with a consistent API. If timm models were supported, it would enable VISSL users to experiment with architectures not currently implemented in torchvision. For users that already use timm, it would reduce the friction for adopting VISSL.
One potential way to achieve this would be a reserved prefix for timm models:
