Backbone feature extractor for ACL-LKNet.
Uses timm for standard pretrained backbones (ConvNeXt, ResNet, EfficientNet).
Includes optional large-kernel modification for kernel-size ablation.
Design decisions:
- ConvNeXt-Tiny is the default (28M params, 7×7 DW conv, T4-friendly)
- ResNet-50 included for RadImageNet comparison (RadImageNet provides ResNet50 weights)
- Large-kernel variant replaces ConvNeXt DW convolutions with larger kernels
- All backbones output a single feature vector per input image via global avg pool
