Hi everyone,
I have trained a model in Detectron2 using the cascade_mask_rcnn_R_50_FPN_1x.yaml 5 config file. From my understanding, the model_final.pth file saved after training is a state_dict? I want to use torchserve to serve this model as a REST endpoint.
The first step to that is running  torch-model-archiver which creates a .mar file from the saved model file (model_final.pth). In eager mode, this also needs a model.py file as an argument which contains the model architecture. I am not sure what to pass here since it was trained using Detectron2 config file and no explicit model.py file with the defined architecture.
Another alternative is to pass a torchscript version of the model instead of the model.py file. I am not sure how to do this for the Detectron2 model (model_final.pth). Can I just call torch.jit.script() after loading the model state_dict?
If anyone has any pointers or has been able to use torchserve with a Detectron2 trained model please let me know! Thank you!
