Request for Evaluation of StarNet on Image Segmentation Tasks

[hansen2001]

First of all, thank you for your excellent work on network lightweighting for image classification. I have read through your paper and found the results very impressive.

I am interested in understanding how well your lightweight network performs on image segmentation tasks. Given the similarities in underlying architectures between classification and segmentation networks, it would be valuable to see if the lightweighting techniques you've implemented can also enhance segmentation models.

Have you tried using Starnet's work for simple image segmentation tasks? Do you have any experience to share？

thank you!

@hansen2001 Thanks for your kind words. We haven't tried on other tasks like segmentation or detection since this work is targeting as an explanatory work. Empirically, it should work well, as you can check related work (which considered star operation) like VAN, FocalNet, etc.
