1. PFDet was the 2nd place solution to the Open Images 2018 object detection challenge, detecting 500 object classes in 1.7 million images using Faster R-CNN with Feature Pyramid Networks, SE-ResNeXt, expert models, and new losses.
2. Key aspects included co-occurrence loss to leverage unlabeled data, sigmoid loss instead of softmax, and cosine annealing which together improved average precision by over 20%.
3. The team used 512 V100 GPUs with multi-node batch normalization to train their best single model which achieved 33% of their full ensemble score.
