Built-In Pretrained Networks

Load built-in pretrained networks and perform transfer learning

Deep Learning Toolbox™ provides several pretrained networks suitable for transfer learning. Transfer learning is the process of taking a pretrained deep learning network and fine-tuning it to learn a new task. Using transfer learning is usually faster and easier than training a network from scratch. You can quickly transfer learned features to a new task using a smaller amount of data. To explore the available pretrained networks, use Deep Network Designer. For more information, see Pretrained Deep Neural Networks.

Extract Image Features Using Pretrained Network

Extract learned image features from a pretrained convolutional neural network and use those features to train an image classifier. Feature extraction is the easiest and fastest way to use the representational power of pretrained deep networks. For example, you can train a support vector machine (SVM) using fitcecoc (Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox™) on the extracted features. Because feature extraction only requires a single pass through the data, it is a good starting point if you do not have a GPU to accelerate network training with.
