I am using a Mask-RCNN. I first chose the resnet50 backbone then downloaded COCO pre-trained weights.



Why do I need pre-trained weights for transfer learning?



The transfer learning approach is to train a base network and then copy its first layers of the target. My base network is resnet50 and I copied the first layers to Mask RCNN. So, why do I need pre-trained weights, for example, coco pre-trained weights?



I understand that I copy layers and pre-trained weights from resnet.



Thanks in advance.

          You need pre-trainned weights for it to be Transfer Learning.



          Copying layer structures is not transfer learning, it is just structuring a network inspired/copied from others.



          The transferm learning lies in using pre-trained layers to construct a different network that migth have similarities in the first layers. That is usually useful for Deep Learning.



          So the why's to use Transfer Learning are:



          • You want to analyse something different in a dataset that was used to train another network


          • You want to perform classification in a class that was used to train a certain network but was not annotated before


          • You want to train a network for a problem similar to the other one and don't have time or computational power to retrain all layers
