Is the paper out yet?

[selenecodes]

Any updates on this?

[skullyhoofd]

This probably shouldn't be closed yet.

[robertokcanale]

Any updates?

[vikxoxo]

Any paper or detailed doc, illustrating the architecture

[glenn-jocher]

@vikxoxo @robertokcanale it's not as good as a paper, but you can visualize the architectures now after our Tensorboard fix in PR #2758. Hopefully paper will follow soon.

This is a YOLOv5s model displayed in TensorBoard. You can see the Detect() layer merging the 3 layers into a single output for example, and everything appears to work and visualize correctly. You can get this by uncommenting the tb_writer.add_graph() lines 333 and 335 in train.py:

yolov5/train.py

Lines 333 to 335 in 0f395b3

	# if tb_writer:
	# tb_writer.add_image(f, result, dataformats='HWC', global_step=epoch)
	# tb_writer.add_graph(torch.jit.trace(model, imgs, strict=False), []) # add model graph

[robertokcanale]

@glenn-jocher Thank you, I'll try it out. This looks good enough for my Master Thesis! But as I might also plan a publication on this, a paper would be of great help, can't wait for it, hoping reviewers accept it smoothly!

[Muhtadir]

@robertokcanale same here sir.

It is 2021 and still no paper. With no paper this Work is pretty much useless from a scientific point of view.

[bakirsw]

I there any chance that it will be published this month?

[ksasso1028]

a paper would be really nice. But the fact that you have the architecture in pure pytorch is very helpful. Anyone with enough DL exp could trace this arch out and break down the types of layers you are using. I wish every paper that came out had a Pytorch implementation

[suryagutta]

A paper would be beneficial!

[rossGardiner]

Will there be a paper for Yolov5 before the end of the year? In a research context, I can't really commit to using Yolov5 if there is no paper describing inner workings...

[zxsitu]

@rossGardiner @glenn-jocher Same feeling as you. I am also a bit worried about using yolov5 for my article at the moment, although it is an excellent engineering project, the lack of an introductory article is really hard to convince the reviewers of the journal.

[Guemann-ui]

Hey, is the Yolov5 paper out yet?

[glenn-jocher]

@besmaGuesmi we are targeting a paper release by the start of PyTorch Dev day, December 1st.

If the YOLOv5 paper is not published by then I will eat my hat.

[Guemann-ui]

@glenn-jocher sounds great! all the best.

[kangsan0420]

so, how did your hat taste?

[thaingoc2604]

Can I ask if there is an article about yolov5?

[Lininggggggg]

请问没论文怎么引用啊，有哥们能提供引用格式吗？

[zldrobit]

@Lininggggggg How about using DOI for a citation?

[Lininggggggg]

@Lininggggggg How about using DOI for a citation?

oh, nice, thank you!

[thaingoc2604]

I train model yolov5s (.pt) now I want to convert it to .tflite, what should I do?

[zldrobit]

@thaingoc2604 Plz run

python export.py --weights path/to/yolov5s.pt --include tflite

, and refer to https://docs.ultralytics.com/yolov5/tutorials/model_export .

[pcruiher08]

So where's the paper?

[hupf80]

Also searching for a Paper of Yolov5 for my uni-research ...

[ghost]

[gogoymh]

Is there any document for how and why architecture is built like that?

[serifdogruu]

still not there ?

[Keiku]

The YOLOv7 paper has been released. Is the YOLOv5 paper yet?

[abuod0]

Anything yet on Yolov5 papers?

[eliabntt]

2023 😂

[abuod0]

I guess we'd never see it, similarly for ChatGPT..

[harshdhamecha]

They released YOLOV8. Only God knows whether v8 paper would come or not

[ranjanj1]

March 18 2023, Do we have yolov5 paper yet ?

[capsule2077]

March 26 2023, Do we have yolov5 paper yet ? yolov7 was released in cvpr2023,i think yolov5 will be released in cvpr???? .

[erwinschrodinger1]

June 2023 still no paper?

[glenn-jocher]

@aymuos15 hi there,

Thank you for reaching out and for your interest in YOLOv5. I understand your excitement and curiosity regarding the YOLOv5 paper. As of now, there hasn't been an official YOLOv5 paper released. However, please note that the YOLOv5 repository at Ultralytics is an open-source project developed by the Ultralytics team.

The absence of a specific paper does not diminish the value and capabilities of YOLOv5. The repository provides extensive documentation, code, and tutorials, allowing users to understand and utilize the YOLOv5 model effectively. Additionally, the YOLO (You Only Look Once) object detection algorithm has a strong community presence, and the Ultralytics team is committed to maintaining and improving the YOLOv5 repository.

If and when a YOLOv5 paper is released, it would be an exciting development for the YOLO community. Until then, I encourage you to explore the YOLOv5 repository and leverage its features for your object detection tasks.

Please feel free to ask any further questions or share any concerns you may have.

Best regards,

Glenn Jocher

[charecktowa]

So no paper in 2024?

[glenn-jocher]

@charecktowa hi there! 😊 As of now, a dedicated YOLOv5 paper has not been released. The good news is, the YOLOv5 GitHub repo is rich with detailed documentation, tutorials, and updates to support your projects. While we understand the interest in a formal paper, the repo and our active community are your go-to resources for everything YOLOv5. Thank you for your enthusiasm and support!

[pderrenger]

Hi there! As of now, there is no official YOLOv5 paper. However, you can explore the detailed YOLOv5 documentation and GitHub repository for implementation details, architecture insights, and community contributions. The Ultralytics team focuses on practical advancements and open-source resources to support users.
