Why I got the map value -1

❓ Questions and Help

After training on coco2017 dataset, I got the following output:

I used the file e2e_faster_rcnn_R_50_FPN_1x.yaml, and modified the lr to 0.01.

Hum, this is weird.

Can you show me the full command that you used for running the experiment?
Also, how did you modify the paths_catalog to load the coco2017 instead of the coco2014?

Thanks!

The paths_catalog.py contains a mistake, I have fixed and got a result, but the map is only around 22. I trained on coco_train2017 and tested on coco_val 2017. I used the default config in file e2e_faster_rcnn_R_50_FPN_1x.yaml. I changed the lr to 0.005, and MAX_ITER to 50000. I trained on two gpus 2 images per gpu. How could I get the reported map. Thanks~

Hi,

In order to reproduce the results on fewer GPUs than 8, you'll need indeed to change the learning rate (which is good in your case), but also the number of iterations should be increased from the default by a factor of 4x, as well as the learning rate schedules.
So you should have 90000 * 4= 360000 iterations, and you need to change the lr schedules to be [240000, 320000].

Check the README on the single GPU training sections for more informations.

I'm closing the issue ad it doesn't seem to be a bug, but please let me know if you have other questions

Thanks for your kindly replay.

I followed you advice and got the following results on coco2017 val dataset:

 Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.371
 Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50      | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.587
 Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.75      | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.405
 Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= small | maxDets=100 ] = 0.216
 Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=medium | maxDets=100 ] = 0.401
 Average Precision  (AP) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= large | maxDets=100 ] = 0.485
 Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets=  1 ] = 0.309
 Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets= 10 ] = 0.483
 Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=   all | maxDets=100 ] = 0.508
 Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= small | maxDets=100 ] = 0.318
 Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area=medium | maxDets=100 ] = 0.542
 Average Recall     (AR) @[ IoU=0.50:0.95 | area= large | maxDets=100 ] = 0.643

Thanks!

I also have same problem。
python -m torch.distributed.launch --nproc_per_node=$NGPUS tools/train_net.py --config-file "configs/e2e_faster_rcnn_R_101_FPN_1x.yaml" OUTPUT_DIR "./save_models/8gpus_101/" 2>&1 | tee train_8-101.log &

paths_catalog.py

What the paths_catalog.py mistake?
