Use Resnet34 for Image Classification
Blog post from Roboflow
The article provides a comprehensive guide on training a custom image classification model using the Resnet34 architecture and the fastai library, leveraging pre-trained weights from the ImageNet dataset for transfer learning. It introduces the use of Roboflow for dataset management, including data preprocessing and augmentation to enhance model performance. The tutorial covers steps from data preparation, model fine-tuning, training with fastai, to evaluating model performance with test inference and visualizing a confusion matrix. Techniques such as freezing and unfreezing model layers, employing callbacks like EarlyStopping, and adjusting learning rates are discussed to optimize training. The guide emphasizes the ease of using Roboflow to manage datasets and deploy models, encouraging readers to try building computer vision models efficiently with its resources.
