Chapter 5. Transfer learning: Reusing pretrained neural networks
This chapter covers
- What transfer learning is and why it is better than training models from scratch for many types of problems
- How to leverage the feature-extraction power of state-of-the-art pretrained convnets by converting them from Keras to TensorFlow.js
- The detailed mechanisms of transfer-learning techniques including layer freezing, creating new transfer heads, and fine-tuning
- How to use transfer learning to train a simple object-detection model in TensorFlow.js
In chapter 4, we saw how to train convnets to classify images. Now consider the following scenario. Our convnet for classifying handwritten digits performs poorly for a user because their handwriting is very different ...
