Cntk: Listing of pre-trained models

[zpbappi]

In the transfer learning tutorials, pre-trained models are being downloaded from https://www.cntk.ai/Models/*. However, I can't find a listing of available pre-trained models that can be used in CNTK. Can you please add a page that will list the available models with some basic description (e.g. input shape, output, architecture, etc.)?

Is this what you are looking for?

Not really. Although the model gallery contains some examples of downloading a pre-trained models, they are mostly recipe/tutorial on how to design and train a particular type of network using CNTK. I was referring to list of pre-trained models to download and use in transfer learning (or, in other similar purposes). Some examples of this type of usages can be found in here and here. They are downloading the pre-trained models from here and here respectively.

Lots of the pre-trained models are downloadable in their respective example page. For example:

AlexNet:
https://github.com/Microsoft/CNTK/tree/master/Examples/Image/Classification/AlexNet
GoogLeNet:
https://github.com/Microsoft/CNTK/tree/master/Examples/Image/Classification/GoogLeNet
ResNet:
https://github.com/Microsoft/CNTK/tree/master/Examples/Image/Classification/ResNet
VGG:
https://github.com/Microsoft/CNTK/tree/master/Examples/Image/Classification/VGG

Scroll to the bottom of these pages and you will see the models.

Thanks @cha-zhang, it is helpful. However, can we please have a wiki page (or, a documentation site page) which will list the pre-trained models with urls to download? It will be easier to find from a single page. This is just a suggestion.

What happened to the model gallery ? At the moment i only see a blank page

@dhofm - thanks, we're fixing this.

[cha-zhang]

I'm working on the single page for all pre-trained models. Should be available in a day or two.

[cha-zhang]

All models are now accessible from the same location:
https://github.com/Microsoft/CNTK/tree/master/PretrainedModels

Thanks!

Thanks @cha-zhang for compiling the list. Would you consider adding the link in some place like "Resources" section in the official documentation site? It would be easier to find for someone who is looking for something like it.

[cha-zhang]

Link added to home page of GitHub. Thanks!

@cha-zhang Hi, I'm learning CNTK and recently finished Sayan's Course on edX.

I went over CNTK Pre-trained Image Models. Though I don't know how to use these pre-trained model to directly evaluate local test images. It would be highly appreciated if you can direct me to do so.

Besides running Notebooks like CNTK_301_Image_Recognition_with_Deep_Transfer_Learning and CNTK_201B_CIFAR-10_ImageHandsOn yields RuntimeError: Batch normalization error. #2722

Thank You.
