How to finetune pretrained inception_v3 model with PyTorch?

1

I use this script to finetune inception_v3 model on a custom dataset. The script already supports AlexNet and VGGNet. However, when finetune with pretrained inception_v3 model, there is an error:

python main.py -a inception_v3 -b 16 --lr 0.01 --pretrained data
=> using pre-trained model ‘inception_v3’
Traceback (most recent call last):

Has anyone finetuned inception_v3 successfully?

Here’s a recent discussion.

Also, someone just released this, which finetunes any network from the model zoo.

@achaiah Thanks for the resource!

@panovr have you identified what was causing the error? Am running into the same error message using the pretrained VGG16.

ah - in my case it was just a silly error with giving in images in incorrect size…
