# Wide ResNet50 2

WideResNet50 2 is a computer vision model trained on imagenet-1k representing an improvement of ResNet architecture. It was introduced in the paper [Wide Residual Networks](https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.07146). 

Disclaimer: This is a porting of the torchvision model weights to Apple MLX Framework.


## How to use
```bash
pip install mlx-image
```

Here is how to use this model for image classification:

```python
from mlxim.model import create_model
from mlxim.io import read_rgb
from mlxim.transform import ImageNetTransform

transform = ImageNetTransform(train=False, img_size=224)
x = transform(read_rgb("cat.png"))
x = mx.expand_dims(x, 0)

model = create_model("wide_resnet50_2")
model.eval()

logits = model(x)
```

You can also use the embeds from last conv layer:
```python
from mlxim.model import create_model
from mlxim.io import read_rgb
from mlxim.transform import ImageNetTransform

transform = ImageNetTransform(train=False, img_size=224)
x = transform(read_rgb("cat.png"))
x = mx.expand_dims(x, 0)

# first option
model = create_model("wide_resnet50_2", num_classes=0)
model.eval()

embeds = model(x)

# second option
model = create_model("wide_resnet50_2")
model.eval()

embeds = model.get_features(x)
```
