Swin-L w/ O365 Config Links: A Quick Fix

Hey everyone, let's dive into a quick fix for some potentially confusing config links related to the Swin-L (w/ O365) results. I've been doing some digging and noticed a small hiccup in the README, and I'm here to help clear things up. This is a common issue when working with complex projects, so don't worry, we'll sort it out together! The goal is to make sure you have the correct config files to replicate the experiments, so you can make your own project using the baseline of Swin-L (w/ O365).

The Problem: Misleading Links

So, here's the deal: The original issue reported that the config files linked in the README for the Swin-L (w/ O365) results were, in fact, pointing to the Swin-B versions. Specifically, the following links were identified as being incorrect:

  • baseline β†’ BoxSup-DeformDETR_Lbase_CLIP_SwinB_4x.yaml
  • self-train β†’ BoxSup+ST-DeformDETR_LbaseI_CLIP_SwinB_4x_ft4x.yaml
  • DECOLA Phase 2 β†’ DECOLA_PHASE2_LbaseI_CLIP_SwinB_4x_ft4x.yaml

As you can see, the filenames include "SwinB", indicating they're for the Swin-B model, not the Swin-L model that we're interested in. This is a pretty common mistake that can easily happen during the development or documentation phase of a project, and the key is to catch it early so that nobody gets stuck when trying to reproduce the Swin-L (w/ O365) results. It's like accidentally using the wrong recipe when baking a cake – the final product won't be quite what you expect! This mix-up could lead to some head-scratching moments for those trying to replicate the experiments or build upon the existing work. The differences between Swin-B and Swin-L are pretty significant and can lead to a lot of time lost if you're trying to replicate the work of the original research. If you're using the wrong config files, you're essentially comparing apples and oranges, which will result in different results.

This kind of situation highlights the importance of keeping documentation up-to-date, especially when dealing with complex projects that undergo frequent changes and updates. As a result, it is important to clearly label all config files, so that future users can easily see which files are related to which models.

Why This Matters

Why is this mix-up a big deal? Well, when you're working on projects, especially those in the realm of OVD experiments and deep learning, having the correct config files is absolutely crucial. These files are the blueprints that tell the model how to learn, what parameters to use, and how to interpret the data. Using the wrong config files is like trying to build a house with the wrong set of instructions. You might end up with something, but it definitely won't be what you intended. The Swin-L model is a larger, more powerful version of the Swin-B model. Using the config files intended for Swin-B would likely lead to a different model behavior, different results, and a lot of wasted time and effort. Also, you might not be able to replicate the results that the original researchers achieved with the Swin-L (w/ O365) model. And for anyone looking to build upon this research or use it as a baseline for their own experiments, this can create problems in comparison with their own work.

In essence, using the wrong config files would be a fundamental error. When you're working with complex models, even a small change in the configuration can lead to significant differences in the final outcome. So, it's really important to ensure that you are using the correct config files from the start. That is why this fix is critical to ensuring that other researchers can easily use the Swin-L (w/ O365) to conduct experiments.

Finding the Right Configs

Okay, so the links are pointing to the wrong place. But how do we get the correct config files for the Swin-L (w/ O365) results? One suggestion is to dig through the repository to find the appropriate Swin-L configs. If they're missing, you'll want to either find them, or create them based on the Swin-B configs. The ideal scenario is that the correct config files are available, and the README just needs a simple update. If the files aren't readily available, you might need to adapt the Swin-B config files to match the Swin-L model, which is no easy feat and would probably need a lot of tinkering and debugging to make them work correctly. If the config files aren't in the repository, it could be due to a few reasons: They may have been accidentally omitted during the initial release or an update, or perhaps the model is still being refined, and the final configs haven't been published yet.

It's always a good practice to go through the repository, looking for files related to Swin-L and see if you can find them. Often, the file names can give you a clue, but it is not always guaranteed. In case of not finding them, you can always contact the original developers. They are usually more than happy to help clarify things or provide you with the correct config files. This issue can usually be resolved quickly by identifying the correct links, updating the README accordingly, and making sure that all the config files are correctly labeled.

How to Resolve the Issue

There are a few ways to resolve this issue. The best solution is, of course, to have the correct config files available and the links in the README updated. Here's a quick rundown of the steps you can take:

  1. Check the Repository: The first step is to thoroughly search the repository for Swin-L config files. Look for filenames that explicitly mention
