Abstract

AlexNet is a pretrained convolutional neural network (CNN) that has been trained on approximately 1.2 million images from the ImageNet Dataset (http://image-net.org/index). The model has 25 layers and can classify images into 1000 object categories. It can be used for all sorts of object classification. However, if an object was not in the training set, it won’t be able to identify the object. If a banana was in the training set, you could expect the CNN to correctly identify a new picture of a banana. But if you gave it a picture of a plantain, and plantain was NOT in the CNN, then it might not find a match or, more likely, it might incorrectly classify it like a banana.
