Is the separable_conv is better than standard conv? about deeplabv3plus-pytorch HOT 2 OPEN

Hi @yiiiruu , I guess this depends on the initialization and hyperparameters. In my previous experiments, they provide similar mIoU on pascal voc. However separable_conv is slightly faster than conventional convolution.

Reference:

In this work, we refer the resulting convolution as atrous
separable convolution, and found that atrous separable convolution significantly
reduces the computation complexity of proposed model while maintaining similar (or better) performance.

Thanks for your reply!I will try it again.
