how to "transfer learn"?

Hi, your work is great and very interesting.
I'm wondering if I could segment only head and hairs of the anime character.
I want to train with my own dataset, but can it be realized by doing the way this link says? https://github.com/aim-uofa/AdelaiDet/tree/master/configs/SOLOv2#installation--quick-start
Or did you build your own model and trained with pretrained models? If so, can you teach me further details how to do these things?
I just started studying deeplearnings, so I apolgize if this is a dumb question.

The models I released were trained based on the pretrained models from AdelaiDet. In my earlier experiments transfer learning and training from scratch achieved similar performance on my dataset.

As for your case - yes, you can train either from scratch or with the pretrained models, depending on the size of your dataset. Sometimes it's a good idea to try both.

Thanks for you reply. I'll make a try starting from scratch.
