How to use pyconv in other backbones?

Hi, thanks for your amazing work.

How to use pyconv in other backbones (e.g. EfficientNet). Can I directly replace all the convolutional layers with PyConv, then load the imagenet pre-trained parameters? Or need to train the modified network from scratch on ImageNet and then finetune on the downstream task?

Hi, thanks for the interest in our work. Yes, in this case you need to train the modified network from scratch.

@iduta Did you achieve accuracy using PyConv?
