How to get the vector (extract the feature) of a transfered learned network?

Looking through the tutorials, I am able to get the last layer vector (say, length 512 for ResNet18) (see here) , and I am also separately able to do transfer learning on my own dataset.

How can I get the last layer feature vector from my own transferred learned network?

Transfer Learning Tutorial
==========================
**Author**: `Sasank Chilamkurthy <https://chsasank.github.io>`_

In this tutorial, you will learn how to train your network using
transfer learning. You can read more about the transfer learning at `cs231n
notes <http://cs231n.github.io/transfer-learning/>`__

Quoting these notes,

    In practice, very few people train an entire Convolutional Network
    from scratch (with random initialization), because it is relatively
    rare to have a dataset of sufficient size. Instead, it is common to
    pretrain a ConvNet on a very large dataset (e.g. ImageNet, which
    contains 1.2 million images with 1000 categories), and then use the
    ConvNet either as an initialization or a fixed feature extractor for
    the task of interest.

These two major transfer learning scenarios look as follows:

-  **Finetuning the convnet**: Instead of random initializaion, we
   initialize the network with a pretrained network, like the one that is
   trained on imagenet 1000 dataset. Rest of the training looks as
   usual.
-  **ConvNet as fixed feature extractor**: Here, we will freeze the weights
   for all of the network except that of the final fully connected
   layer. This last fully connected layer is replaced with a new one
   with random weights and only this layer is trained.

# Load Data
# ---------
#
# We will use torchvision and torch.utils.data packages for loading the

# The problem we're going to solve today is to train a model to classify
# **ants** and **bees**. We have about 120 training images each for ants and bees.
# There are 75 validation images for each class. Usually, this is a very
# small dataset to generalize upon, if trained from scratch. Since we
# are using transfer learning, we should be able to generalize reasonably
# well.
#
# This dataset is a very small subset of imagenet.
#
# .. Note ::
#    Download the data from
#    `here <https://download.pytorch.org/tutorial/hymenoptera_data.zip>`_

Hi thanks for the reply.
No, it gives me an error:

Could you check for differences between your code and this example?

Thanks for the response. The error I had raises from not having this line that I added:

model_conv = model_conv.cuda()

from PIL import Image
scaler = transforms.Scale((224, 224))
normalize = transforms.Normalize(mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406], std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225])
to_tensor = transforms.ToTensor()
img = Image.open('mona.jpg')
image = normalize(to_tensor(scaler(img))).unsqueeze(0).to(device)
print(image.shape)
model_conv = model_conv.cuda()
tf_last_layer_chopped = nn.Sequential(*list(model_conv.children())[:-1])
output = tf_last_layer_chopped(image)
print(output)

There is a discussion in this page about the error I got.

hi,
can you please explain me to how can i use inception_v3 instead of resnet18. i have changed input size to 299*299 and train the model. i have got below error

Your code might work. Most likely you are initializing your inception model with the default settings, i.e. aux_logits=True, which will return a tuple (last layer and the aux_logits).
Set aux_logits=False and run your code again.

Can you please explain where should i make changes to get results,

model_ft = models.inception_v3(pretrained=True)
num_ftrs = model_ft.fc.in_features
model_ft.fc = nn.Linear(num_ftrs, 2)
model_ft = model_ft.to(device)
criterion = nn.CrossEntropyLoss()
# Observe that all parameters are being optimized
optimizer_ft = optim.SGD(model_ft.parameters(), lr=0.001, momentum=0.9)
# Decay LR by a factor of 0.1 every 7 epochs
exp_lr_scheduler = lr_scheduler.StepLR(optimizer_ft, step_size=7, gamma=0.1)

Thanks its working.
model_ft.aux_logits=False
