DL 03 - Finetune vgg16 Image Classification

Fine-tune VGG16 (Python)

Instead of creating our own network architecture as in the previous workflow "Train simple CNN", in this workflow we use the pre-trained network architecture VGG16.

Please note: The workflow series is heavily inspired by the great blog-post of François Chollet (see https://blog.keras.io/building-powerful-image-classification-models-using-very-little-data.html.)

1. Workflow 01 Preprocessing
2. Workflow 02 Trains simple CNN

3. Workflow 03 Fine-tune VGG16 Python: Instead of creating our own network architecture as in the previous workflow "Train simple CNN", in this workflow we use the pre-trained network architecture VGG16.
