to use 1x1 convolutions in the classification layer which allows correct conversion to LCE.This brings the official benchmarks inline with the numbers we quote in the LCE paper. This has a big impact since the classification layers are actually very large.
This code has been lying around on my system for a long time now, so I briefly spent a few minutes converting the weights which was just a matter of reshaping the weights of the last four classification layers.
