**MnasNet** is a type of convolutional neural network optimized for mobile devices that is discovered through mobile neural architecture search, which explicitly incorporates model latency into the main objective so that the search can identify a model that achieves a good trade-off between accuracy and latency. The main building block is an [inverted residual block](https://paperswithcode.com/method/inverted-residual-block) (from [MobileNetV2](https://paperswithcode.com/method/mobilenetv2)).
## How do I use this model on an image?
To load a pretrained model:
```python
import timm
model = timm.create_model('semnasnet_100', pretrained=True)
model.eval()
```
To load and preprocess the image:
```python
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. `semnasnet_100`. 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).
```python
model = timm.create_model('semnasnet_100', pretrained=True).reset_classifier(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.
## How do I train this model?
You can follow the [timm recipe scripts](https://rwightman.github.io/pytorch-image-models/scripts/) for training a new model afresh.
