**FBNet** is a type of convolutional neural architectures discovered through [DNAS](https://paperswithcode.com/method/dnas) neural architecture search. It utilises a basic type of image model block inspired by [MobileNetv2](https://paperswithcode.com/method/mobilenetv2) that utilises depthwise convolutions and an inverted residual structure (see components).
The principal building block is the [FBNet Block](https://paperswithcode.com/method/fbnet-block).
## How do I use this model on an image?
To load a pretrained model:
```py
>>> import timm
>>> model = timm.create_model('fbnetc_100', 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. `fbnetc_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).
```py
>>> model = timm.create_model('fbnetc_100', 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.
