Research direction

The work goes in scripts/finetune.py, which does not exist yet. Before writing it, read the split and augmentation code that #36 and #20 introduce, since this issue says to reuse them and both are listed as dependencies. The CLI takes --arch, --epochs and --lr. Done means both mobilenetv2_100 and efficientnet_b0 fine-tune end to end and write the best checkpoint and history to results/.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

experiment pretrained

Same split and augmentation as the custom models.

Files: scripts/finetune.py

Tasks
  • CLI: --arch mobilenetv2_100|efficientnet_b0 --epochs 15 --lr 1e-4
  • Adam + cosine-annealing scheduler, all layers trainable
  • Save best checkpoint and history to results/
Done when

Both architectures can be fine-tuned with the script.
