# Summary

A **ResNeXt** repeats a [building block](https://paperswithcode.com/method/resnext-block) that aggregates a set of transformations with the same topology. Compared to a [ResNet](https://paperswithcode.com/method/resnet), it exposes a new dimension,  *cardinality* (the size of the set of transformations) $C$, as an essential factor in addition to the dimensions of depth and width. 

This model was trained on billions of Instagram images using thousands of distinct hashtags as labels exhibit excellent transfer learning performance.

## 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.
