Details for method 'Panoptic-DeepLab w/ SWideRNet [Cityscapes-fine]'

name	Panoptic-DeepLab w/ SWideRNet [Cityscapes-fine]
challenge	pixel-level semantic labeling
details	We revisit the architecture design of Wide Residual Networks. We design a baseline model by incorporating the simple and effective Squeeze-and-Excitation and Switchable Atrous Convolution to the Wide-ResNets. Its network capacity is further scaled up or down by adjusting the width (i.e., channel size) and depth (i.e., number of layers), resulting in a family of SWideRNets (short for Scaling Wide Residual Networks). We demonstrate that such a simple scaling scheme, coupled with grid search, identifies several SWideRNets that significantly advance state-of-the-art performance on panoptic segmentation datasets in both the fast model regime and strong model regime.
