Python Deep Learning
By :

We are now familiar with the powerful technique of transfer learning. In this section, we'll discuss some recent and popular network architectures that go beyond the ones we've seen so far. You'll be able to use these networks as pre-trained models in a transfer learning scenario, or if you are brave enough, train them from scratch to solve your tasks.
The first architecture we're going to discuss is VGG (from Oxford's Visual Geometry Group, https://arxiv.org/abs/1409.1556). It was introduced in 2014, when it became a runner-up in the ImageNet challenge of that year. The VGG family of networks remains popular today and is often used as a benchmark against newer architectures. Prior to VGG (for example, LeNet-5: http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/lenet/) and AlexNet (https://papers.nips.cc/paper/4824-imagenet-classification-with-deep-convolutional-neural-networks.pdf), the initial convolutional layers of a network used filters with large receptive fields, such as...
