**MixNet** is a type of convolutional neural network discovered via AutoML that utilises [MixConvs](https://paperswithcode.com/method/mixconv) instead of regular [depthwise convolutions](https://paperswithcode.com/method/depthwise-convolution).
The weights from this model were ported from [Tensorflow/TPU](https://github.com/tensorflow/tpu).
## How do I use this model on an image?
To load a pretrained model:
```py
>>> import timm
>>> model = timm.create_model('tf_mixnet_l', pretrained=True)
>>> model.eval()
```
To load and preprocess the image:
```py
>>> import urllib
>>> from PIL import Image
>>> from timm.data import resolve_data_config
>>> from timm.data.transforms_factory import create_transform
Replace the model name with the variant you want to use, e.g. `tf_mixnet_l`. You can find the IDs in the model summaries at the top of this page.
To extract image features with this model, follow the [timm feature extraction examples](https://rwightman.github.io/pytorch-image-models/feature_extraction/), just change the name of the model you want to use.
## How do I finetune this model?
You can finetune any of the pre-trained models just by changing the classifier (the last layer).
```py
>>> model = timm.create_model('tf_mixnet_l', pretrained=True, num_classes=NUM_FINETUNE_CLASSES)
```
To finetune on your own dataset, you have to write a training loop or adapt [timm's training
script](https://github.com/rwightman/pytorch-image-models/blob/master/train.py) to use your dataset.
