# Summary

**CSPResNet** is a convolutional neural network where we apply the Cross Stage Partial Network (CSPNet) approach to [ResNet](https://paperswithcode.com/method/resnet). The CSPNet partitions the feature map of the base layer into two parts and then merges them through a cross-stage hierarchy. The use of a split and merge strategy allows for more gradient flow through the network.

## 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.
