Is res50h pertained on ImageNet?

[shuzhangcasia]

In your experiment using res50h model, do you use image-net pretrained weights or randomly initialized weights?

[twangnh]

yes, the backbone is pretrained with imagenet

How did you set the hyperparameter when training the baseline res50 model? I apply your method to SSD and it works. But in faster-rcnn case, I replace the vgg in your code with pretrained resnet50 and distill it with a resnet101 model on VOC2007 for 7 epoch, batch-size 1, 0.001 lr decay 1/10 at epoch 5. The final mAP of res50 model is 72.2 which is close to your paper. But without kd, the mAP can reach 74.0.
