Zusammenfassung
In this paper, we propose multi-phase fine-tuning for tuning deep networks from typical object recognition to sign language recognition (SLR). It extends the successful idea of transfer learning by fine-tuning the network’s weights over several phases. Starting from the top of the network, layers are trained in phases by successively unfreezing layers for training. We apply this novel training approach to SLR, since in this application, training data is scarce and differs considerably from the datasets which are usually used for pre-training. Our experiments show that multi-phase fine-tuning can reach significantly better accuracy in fewer training epochs compared to previous fine-tuning techniques
