RegNetY

RegNetY is a convolutional network design space with simple, regular models with parameters: depth $d$, initial width $w\_{0} > 0$, and slope $w\_{a} > 0$, and generates a different block width $u\_{j}$ for each block $j < d$. The key restriction for the RegNet types of model is that there is a linear parameterisation of block widths (the design space only contains models with this linear structure):

$u\_{j} = w\_{0} + w\_{a}\cdot{j}$

For RegNetX we have additional restrictions: we set $b = 1$ (the bottleneck ratio), $12 \leq d \leq 28$, and $w\_{m} \geq 2$ (the width multiplier).

For RegNetY we make one change, which is to include Squeeze-and-Excitation blocks.
