**Inception-ResNet-v2** is a convolutional neural architecture that builds on the Inception family of architectures but incorporates [residual connections](https://paperswithcode.com/method/residual-connection) (replacing the filter concatenation stage of the Inception architecture).
## How do I use this model on an image?
To load a pretrained model:
```python
import timm
model = timm.create_model('inception_resnet_v2', pretrained=True)
model.eval()
```
To load and preprocess the image:
```python
import urllib
from PIL import Image
from timm.data import resolve_data_config
from timm.data.transforms_factory import create_transform
Replace the model name with the variant you want to use, e.g. `inception_resnet_v2`. You can find the IDs in the model summaries at the top of this page.
To extract image features with this model, follow the [timm feature extraction examples](https://rwightman.github.io/pytorch-image-models/feature_extraction/), just change the name of the model you want to use.
## How do I finetune this model?
You can finetune any of the pre-trained models just by changing the classifier (the last layer).
