Excuse me does anybody know how to transfer learning a Faster RCNN to my own dataset? Or is there any reference for that? because I still don’t understand is it included as my base network in my model or what. Thank you very much

How about the following, though I’ve not tested this yet:

- In TensorFlow Hub (a repository of pre-trained TensorFlow models), click on/search for “object detection” models: (link to Image Object Detection results: [Find Pre-trained Models | Kaggle](https://tfhub.dev/s?module-type=image-object-detection))

- Then, check out the [Transfer learning with TensorFlow Hub &nbsp;|&nbsp; TensorFlow Core](https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/images/transfer_learning_with_hub) tutorial.

Looping in @lgusm (DevRel) and the docs team - notebook co-authors @billy @markdaoust

TensorFlow HUB currently doesn’t support fine-tuning on Faster RCNN and generally on other models in the Object Detection API.

But it is a quite requested feature. See [Make Object detection models fine-tunable · Issue #678 · tensorflow/hub · GitHub](https://github.com/tensorflow/hub/issues/678).

Let’s see if there is any other progress to share on this.
