How to do transfer learning with inception_v3?

inception_v3 was added in March 2017, so I’m not sure, if we are talking about the same model.

Anyway, the Finetuning Tutorial has specific code paths for the inception model and for its auxiliary outputs.

Logits are basically the input to a softmax layer.
Since nn.CrossentropyLoss is using F.log_softmax and nn.NLLLoss internally, you don’t need to apply softmax manually.
