# (Tensorflow) Inception v3

**Inception v3** is a convolutional neural network architecture from the Inception family that makes several improvements including using [Label Smoothing](https://paperswithcode.com/method/label-smoothing), Factorized 7 x 7 convolutions, and the use of an [auxiliary classifer](https://paperswithcode.com/method/auxiliary-classifier) to propagate label information lower down the network (along with the use of batch normalization for layers in the sidehead). The key building block is an [Inception Module](https://paperswithcode.com/method/inception-v3-module).

The weights from this model were ported from [Tensorflow/Models](https://github.com/tensorflow/models).

## How do I train this model?

You can follow the [timm recipe scripts](https://rwightman.github.io/pytorch-image-models/scripts/) for training a new model afresh.
