Instantiates the ConvNeXtBase architecture.
Usage
application_convnext_base(
  include_top = TRUE,
  include_preprocessing = TRUE,
  weights = "imagenet",
  input_tensor = NULL,
  input_shape = NULL,
  pooling = NULL,
  classes = 1000L,
  classifier_activation = "softmax",
  name = "convnext_base"
)Arguments
- include_top
- Whether to include the fully-connected layer at the top of the network. Defaults to - TRUE.
- include_preprocessing
- Boolean, whether to include the preprocessing layer at the bottom of the network. 
- weights
- One of - NULL(random initialization),- "imagenet"(pre-training on ImageNet-1k), or the path to the weights file to be loaded. Defaults to- "imagenet".
- input_tensor
- Optional Keras tensor (i.e. output of - keras_input()) to use as image input for the model.
- input_shape
- Optional shape tuple, only to be specified if - include_topis- FALSE. It should have exactly 3 inputs channels.
- pooling
- Optional pooling mode for feature extraction when - include_topis- FALSE. Defaults to- NULL.- NULLmeans that the output of the model will be the 4D tensor output of the last convolutional layer.
- avgmeans that global average pooling will be applied to the output of the last convolutional layer, and thus the output of the model will be a 2D tensor.
- maxmeans that global max pooling will be applied.
 
- classes
- Optional number of classes to classify images into, only to be specified if - include_topis- TRUE, and if no- weightsargument is specified. Defaults to 1000 (number of ImageNet classes).
- classifier_activation
- A - stror callable. The activation function to use on the "top" layer. Ignored unless- include_top=TRUE. Set- classifier_activation=NULLto return the logits of the "top" layer. Defaults to- "softmax". When loading pretrained weights,- classifier_activationcan only be- NULLor- "softmax".
- name
- The name of the model (string).

For image classification use cases, see this page for detailed examples. For transfer learning use cases, make sure to read the guide to transfer learning & fine-tuning.
The base, large, and xlarge models were first pre-trained on the
ImageNet-21k dataset and then fine-tuned on the ImageNet-1k dataset. The
pre-trained parameters of the models were assembled from the
official repository. To get a
sense of how these parameters were converted to Keras compatible parameters,
please refer to
this repository.
Note
Each Keras Application expects a specific kind of input preprocessing.
For ConvNeXt, preprocessing is included in the model using a Normalization
layer.  ConvNeXt models expect their inputs to be float or uint8 tensors of
pixels with values in the [0-255] range.
When calling the summary() method after instantiating a ConvNeXt model,
prefer setting the expand_nested argument summary() to TRUE to better
investigate the instantiated model.
