Hi,
In the forward function of the ResNet class in ./mmdetection_variable/mmdet/models/backbones/resnet.py why do you use this:
nips_img.data = new_imgs
nips_bpp.data = bpg_bpps
This breaks the gradient backpropagation path and gradients coming from later layers will not propagate back through the image_compressor/pre_processor.
