# Dual Path Network (DPN)
A **Dual Path Network (DPN)** is a convolutional neural network which presents a new topology of connection paths internally. The intuition is that [ResNets ](https://paperswithcode.com/method/resnet ) enables feature re-usage while DenseNet enables new feature exploration, and both are important for learning good representations. To enjoy the benefits from both path topologies, Dual Path Networks share common features while maintaining the flexibility to explore new features through dual path architectures.
The principal building block is an [DPN Block ](https://paperswithcode.com/method/dpn-block ).
## How do I use this model on an image?
To load a pretrained model:
```python
import timm
model = timm.create_model('dpn107', 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
config = resolve_data_config({}, model=model)
transform = create_transform(**config)
url, filename = ("https://github.com/pytorch/hub/raw/master/images/dog.jpg", "dog.jpg")
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, filename)
img = Image.open(filename).convert('RGB')
tensor = transform(img).unsqueeze(0) # transform and add batch dimension
```
To get the model predictions:
```python
import torch
with torch.no_grad():
out = model(tensor)
probabilities = torch.nn.functional.softmax(out[0], dim=0)
print(probabilities.shape)
# prints: torch.Size([1000])
```
To get the top-5 predictions class names:
```python
# Get imagenet class mappings
url, filename = ("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pytorch/hub/master/imagenet_classes.txt", "imagenet_classes.txt")
urllib.request.urlretrieve(url, filename)
with open("imagenet_classes.txt", "r") as f:
categories = [s.strip() for s in f.readlines()]
# Print top categories per image
top5_prob, top5_catid = torch.topk(probabilities, 5)
for i in range(top5_prob.size(0)):
print(categories[top5_catid[i]], top5_prob[i].item())
# prints class names and probabilities like:
# [('Samoyed', 0.6425196528434753), ('Pomeranian', 0.04062102362513542), ('keeshond', 0.03186424449086189), ('white wolf', 0.01739676296710968), ('Eskimo dog', 0.011717947199940681)]
```
Replace the model name with the variant you want to use, e.g. `dpn107` . 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('dpn107', 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.
