# Xception (legacy)

**Category:** CNN · **Code:**
[`timm/models/xception.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/pytorch-image-models/blob/main/timm/models/xception.py) ·
**Architectures:** 1 · **Pretrained weights:** 1 (1 with ImageNet-1k results)

The original Xception, depthwise separable convolutions with residual connections, with weights ported from Keras
(`legacy_xception`).

## Papers

* [Xception: Deep Learning with Depthwise Separable Convolutions](https://arxiv.org/abs/1610.02357)

## Usage

See the [Quickstart](../quickstart) for loading pretrained weights, image preprocessing and fine-tuning, and [Feature
Extraction](../feature_extraction) for using the models as backbones.

```py
>>> import timm
>>> model = timm.create_model('legacy_xception.tf_in1k', pretrained=True)
>>> data_config = timm.data.resolve_model_data_config(model)
```

## Model API support

| Feature | `Xception` |
|---|---|
| [`features_only=True` feature maps](../model_api#intermediate-features) | ✓ (strides 2, 4, 8, 16, 32) |
| [`forward_intermediates()`](../model_api#intermediate-features) | ✗ |
| [`prune_intermediate_layers()`](../model_api#intermediate-features) | ✗ |
| [Any input size, no changes needed](../model_api#input-size) | ✓ |
| [`set_input_size()`](../model_api#input-size) | – |
| [`dynamic_img_size=True`](../model_api#input-size) | – |
| [`set_grad_checkpointing()`](../model_api#training-hooks) | ✗ |
| [Layer-wise LR decay (`group_matcher()`)](../model_api#training-hooks) | ✓ |
| [`reset_classifier()`](../model_api#classifier) | ✓ |

✓ supported, ✓ (square) works for square sizes only, ✗ not supported, – not needed (the model already accepts any input
size). Checked by running each feature on a randomly initialized model (`Xception` with `legacy_xception` at 299), other
architectures of the same class are expected to behave the same. See the [Model API](../model_api) page for details.

## Architectures

| Architecture | Params (M) | GMACs | Input size | Pretrained weights |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| `legacy_xception` | 22.86 | 8.40 | 299 | 1 |

GMACs and parameter counts are for the default input size and classifier of each architecture, from the [benchmark
results](https://github.com/huggingface/pytorch-image-models/tree/main/results).

## Pretrained weights

Top-1 is ImageNet-1k validation accuracy from
[`results-imagenet.csv`](https://github.com/huggingface/pytorch-image-models/blob/main/results/results-imagenet.csv) at
the listed eval size, - if the weight has no ImageNet-1k result (e.g. pretraining or image-text weights). Classes is the
size of the pretrained classifier, none for weights without one.
