Fine-tune YOLO-World on MS-COCO

Updates

1. [2024-3-27]: Considering that fine-tuning YOLO-World on COCO without mask-refine obtains bad results, e.g., YOLO-World-L obtains 48.6 AP without mask-refine compared to 53.3 AP with mask-refine, we rethink the training process and explore new training schemes for fine-tuning without mask-refine. BTW, the COCO fine-tuning results are updated with higher performance (with mask-refine)!

COCO Results and Checkpoints

NOTE:

1. AP^ZS: AP evaluated in the zero-shot setting (w/o fine-tuning on COCO dataset).
2. mask-refine: refine the box annotations with masks, and add CopyPaste augmentation during training.
