Tensorflow slim pre-trained alexnet [closed]

Question

The Tensorflow slim library provides the graph structure for alexnet, however it doesn't seem to provide a pre-trained (on Imagenet) alexnet checkpoint (https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/research/slim). Is there anywhere a pre-trained alexnet checkpoint for TF-slim is provided?

Answer 1

Unlike VGG or Inception, TensorFlow doesn’t ship with a pretrained AlexNet. Caffe does but it's not a trivial task to convert to tensorflow.

Thanks to Frederik Kratzert, he did that job and share here

In summary, you need to:

1. Download Caffe model and weights

2. Use the caffe-to-tensorflow to convert the Caffe model to Tensorflow model

3. Refer the diferences if any between the converted model and the slim model and make the adaptation
