Avoid empty lists on missing BathNorm2d models as in #7375
@vardanagarwal good news 😃! Your original issue may now be fixed ✅ in PR #7376. This PR reorganizes optimizer parameter group inits for robustness to missing BatchNorm2d layers in a model. Your use-case trains correctly now, but note that your normalization layer weights will now see weight decay, which is probably contrary to best practices. You can update train.py to include any custom normalization layers in group 0, which is excluded from weight decay. To receive this update:
Thank you for spotting this issue and informing us of the problem. Please let us know if this update resolves the issue for you, and feel free to inform us of any other issues you discover or feature requests that come to mind. Happy trainings with YOLOv5 🚀! |
* Update optimizer param group strategy Avoid empty lists on missing BathNorm2d models as in #7375 * fix init
@glenn-jocher thanks for the help, I am able to fix it by adding the group normalization layer. |
@vardanagarwal ah yes, this is a good solution also. Can you please submit a PR to include GroupNorm and any other applicable normalization layer on this line? Please see our ✅ Contributing Guide to get started. |
Sure, I'll do that. |

Question
I am trying to use group normalization as the batch size I can use is small due to memory constraints. To do that I am changing the code in common.py.
In this code, the only change done is
self.bn = nn.BatchNorm2d(c2)
toself.bn = nn.GroupNorm(8, c2)
Now, when trying to run with the command:
python3 train.py --data data/coco128.yaml --weights '' --cfg models/yolov5s.yaml --hyp data/hyps/hyp.scratch-low.yaml --epochs 300 --batch 16 --img 640
, I get this error.Additional
