Description
I followed the tutorial closely and encountered multiple issues with my custom dataset, which is why I decided to try the provided example first.
What I did:
- extract coco128 to datasets/coco128
- execute
python3 tools/train.py -f exps/example/custom/yolox_s.py -d 1 -b 64 --fp16 -c yolox_s.pthwith yolox_s.pth laying in the current folder and being freshly downloaded.
The Problem:
Training does not seem to work properly; There are no errors, but AP values stay at 0 and average inference time is also 0ms.
Could it be that the sample is not working on the latest repo version?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the command in tools/train.py with exps/example/custom/yolox_s.py and the datasets/coco128 directory described in the report. Check the training output and screenshot conditions, then determine why AP and inference time remain at zero; done means the example runs with meaningful metrics or the failure is clearly documented.
