# ESE VoVNet

**VoVNet** is a convolutional neural network that seeks to make [DenseNet](https://paperswithcode.com/method/densenet) more efficient by concatenating all features only once in the last feature map, which makes input size constant and enables enlarging new output channel.

## 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.
