- Architecture 1.1. ppcls backbones are now separated into two groups: legendary models and model zoo. 1.2. Legendary models inherit from a new base class TheseusLayer, which allows stop at some point or even change architectures
- Metric Learning 2.1. Add a lot of metric learning functions, including gears, which can be inserted into arch , and losses. 2.2. PaddleClas now support classification task and metric learning task using the same trainer. You only need switch different configs.
- Vector Search 3.1. Intergrate Mobius vector search algorithm.
- Applications 4.1. Add new applications: product recognition, logo recognition, car classification, car ReID and cartoon character recognition. 4.2. Add new image recognition pipeline, which contains detection, feature extraction and vector search.
- New models 5.1. add LeViT、Twins、TNT、DLA、HarDNet、RedNet models
