+# Hello PyTorch ResNet
+
+Example of using [NVIDIA FLARE](https://nvflare.readthedocs.io/en/main/index.html) to train an image classifier
+using federated averaging ([FedAvg](https://arxiv.org/abs/1602.05629))
+and [PyTorch](https://pytorch.org/) as the deep learning training framework. Comparing with the Hello PyTorch example, it uses the torchvision ResNet, 
+instead of the SimpleNetwork.
+
+> **_NOTE:_** This example uses the [CIFAR-10](https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~kriz/cifar.html) dataset and will load its data within the client train code.
+
+The Job API only supports the object instance created directly out of the Python Class. It does not support 
+the object instance created through using the Python function. Comparing with the hello-pt example, 
+if we replace the SimpleNetwork() object with the resnet18(num_classes=10), 
+the "resnet18(num_classes=10)" creates an torchvision "ResNet" object instance out of the "resnet18" function. 
+As shown in the [torchvision reset](https://github.com/pytorch/vision/blob/main/torchvision/models/resnet.py#L684-L705), 
+the resnet18 is a Python function, which creates and returns a ResNet object. The job API can 
+only use the "ResNet" object instance for generating the job config. It can not detect the object creating function logic in the "resnet18".
+
+This example demonstrates how to wrap up the resnet18 Python function into a Resnet18 Python class. Then uses the Resnet18(num_classes=10)
+object instance in the job API. After replacing the SimpleNetwork() with the Resnet18(num_classes=10),
+you can follow the exact same steps in the hello-pt example to run the fedavg_script_runner_pt.py.
