Suprised to see this here since YOLO has been out for a while now. Shameless plug, I wrote an article on how to use use transfer learning on your custom dataset with the pretrained weights [1]. One of the downside of YOLO is that it uses his own deep learning library darknet. I find that the Tensorflow port dark flow easier to use but it haven't seen a v3 port yet.

There is a pytorch port from Ultralytics ( https://github.com/ultralytics/yolov3 ). Nobody seems to have figured out how to achieve the training performance of darknet though, which is entirely uncommented C. The source is all there, but the loss function changed between v2 and v3, and its not documented in the paper. I think it's been fixed in that pytorch port now though. The only frustrating thing is that every co…
Thank you for the links! I'm going to check both out. I want to see if the PyTorch port works with the new deployment feature from 1.0.
