Tensorflow slim pre-prepared alexnet

Question

The thin Tensorflow library provides the graph structure for alexnet, however, it does not seem to provide the alexnet checkpoint (prepared at Imagenet) ( https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/research/slim ). Is there a predefined alexnet checkpoint for TF-slim somewhere?

Answer 1

Unlike VGG or Inception, TensorFlow does not come with pre-prepared AlexNet. Caffe does, but it’s not a trivial task to convert to a tensor flow.

Thanks to Frederik Kratzert , he completed this work and shared here.

In general, you need:

• Download Caffe Model and Scale

• Use caffe-to-tensorflow to convert a Caffe model to a Tensorflow model

• Note the differences, if any, between the transformed model and the thin model, and adapt
