# Object detection reference training scripts

This folder contains reference training scripts for object detection.
They serve as a log of how to train specific models, to provide baseline
training and evaluation scripts to quickly bootstrap research.

To execute the example commands below you must install the following:

```
cython
pycocotools
matplotlib
```

You must modify the following flags:

`--data-path=/path/to/coco/dataset`

`--nproc_per_node=<number_of_gpus_available>`

Except otherwise noted, all models have been trained on 8x V100 GPUs.
