weight line in the training

[urbansound8K]

hey there

thanks a lot for this code

I have a question please

do I need to include the yolov3 weight of a coco dataset during training ??

or what should I include in this line:

parser.add_argument("--weights_path", type=str, default="config/yolov3.weights", help="path to weights file")

[cailinw]

The weights_path argument allows you to specify initializing the model with pretrained weights. If you don't specify a weights_path argument, it will default to the weights in the file "config/yolov3.weights".

I have created a pull request here that allows you to provide the argument random_initialize to indicate training the model from scratch and not loading any pretrained weights.

Hey :)
Thank you very much for the scripts and the idea and smart solution! :)
For me the same question pop up...
unfortunatly, it seems that the pull request was not included...
@cailinw would you mind to share your improvments here?
Thank you very much :)
