# MoCoV2 > [Improved Baselines with Momentum Contrastive Learning](https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.04297) ## Abstract Contrastive unsupervised learning has recently shown encouraging progress, e.g., in Momentum Contrast (MoCo) and SimCLR. In this note, we verify the effectiveness of two of SimCLR’s design improvements by implementing them in the MoCo framework. With simple modifications to MoCo—namely, using an MLP projection head and more data augmentation—we establish stronger baselines that outperform SimCLR and do not require large training batches. We hope this will make state-of-the-art unsupervised learning research more accessible.
## How to use it? **Predict image** ```python from mmpretrain import inference_model predict = inference_model('resnet50_mocov2-pre_8xb32-linear-steplr-100e_in1k', 'demo/bird.JPEG') print(predict['pred_class']) print(predict['pred_score']) ``` **Use the model** ```python import torch from mmpretrain import get_model model = get_model('mocov2_resnet50_8xb32-coslr-200e_in1k', pretrained=True) inputs = torch.rand(1, 3, 224, 224) out = model(inputs) print(type(out)) # To extract features. feats = model.extract_feat(inputs) print(type(feats)) ``` **Train/Test Command** Prepare your dataset according to the [docs](https://mmpretrain.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guides/dataset_prepare.html#prepare-dataset).
