 # Tutorial 1: Inference, testing and training with predefined models and standard datasets
 
-## Inference with pretrained models
+Welcome to MMDetection's tutorial.
+
+MMDetection provides hundreds of predefined and pre-trained detection models in [Model Zoo](https://mmdetection.readthedocs.io/en/latest/model_zoo.html)), and supports multiple standard datasets, including Pascal VOC, COCO, CityScapes, LVIS, etc. This tutorial will show how to perform common tasks on these pre-trained models and standard datasets, including :
+
+- Use existing models to inference on given images.
+- Test pre-trained models on standard datasets.
+- Train predefined models on standard datasets.
 
-MMDetection provides high-level Python APIs for building detection models and inference on given images.
+## Inference with pre-trained models
 
-### High-level APIs for testing images
+By inference, we mean using trained models to detect objects on images. In MMDetection, the model structure is defined by a python [configuration file]() and pre-trained model parameters are save in a Pytorch checkpoint file, usually with `.pth` extension name .
 
-#### Synchronous interface
+To start with, we recommend [Faster RCNN](https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection/tree/master/configs/faster_rcnn) with this [configuration](https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdetection/blob/master/configs/faster_rcnn/faster_rcnn_r50_fpn_1x_coco.py) and this [checkpoints](http://download.openmmlab.com/mmdetection/v2.0/faster_rcnn/faster_rcnn_r50_fpn_1x_coco/faster_rcnn_r50_fpn_1x_coco_20200130-047c8118.pth). It is recommended to save the parameter to `checkpoint_file` directory.

-Async interface allows not to block CPU on GPU bound inference code and enables better CPU/GPU utilization for single threaded application. Inference can be done concurrently either between different input data samples or between different models of some inference pipeline.
+For Python 3.7+, MMDetection also supports async interfaces.
