Local Relation Networks V2 (LR-Net V2)

This branch is an improved implementation of "Local Relation Networks for Image Recognition (LR-Net)". The original LR-Net utilizes sliding window based self-attention layer to replace the 3x3 convolution layers in a ResNet architecture. This improved implementation applies this layer into a stronger overall architecture based on Tranformers, dubbed as LR-Net V2. We provide cuda kernels for the local relation layers. Training scripts and pre-trained models will be provided in the future.
