There's a new timm release, v 1.0.12, with a focus on optimizers. The optimizer factory has been refactored, there's now a timm.optim.list_optimizers() and new way to register optimizers and their attributes. As always you can use an timm optimizer like a torch one, just replace torch.optim with timm.optim

New optimizers include:
* AdafactorBigVision - adfactorbv
* ADOPT - adopt / adoptw (decoupled decay)
* MARS - mars
* LaProp - laprop
* Cautious Optimizers - a modification to all of the above, prefix with c as well as cadamw, cnadamw, csgdw, clamb, crmsproptf

I shared some caution comparisons in this model repo: rwightman/timm-optim-caution

For details, references, see the code: https://github.com/huggingface/pytorch-image-models/tree/main/timm/optim

I'm currently on a push to expand the scope of image based datasets on the Hub. There's certainly a lot already, but for anyone who's looked closely, there's not a whole lot of standardization. I am to fix that, datasets under the https://huggingface.co/timm and https://huggingface.co/pixparse orgs will serve as canonical examples for various task / modality combinations and be useable without fuss in libraries like timm, OpenCLIP, and hopefully more.

I just uploaded the first multi-label dataset that I'll support with timm scripts soon: timm/plant-pathology-2021

Next up object detection & segmentation! I've got an annotation spec sorted out, a lot of datasets ready to rip, and yeah that means timm support for object detection, eventually segmentation, is finally under development :O
