Model checkpoints#

The architecture used for all current models is a U-Net with a backbone of 6 EfficientNet blocks in each direction (encoding and decoding). There are horizontal skip connections between compression and expansion blocks at the same spatial scale and a latent space of 32 channels throughout the network. The depth dimension of the input is halved (doubled) after each block, whilst the time dimension is halved (doubled) every other block.

Details for notable model checkpoints are provided below.
