Where do you get pretrained networks from? I looked for awhile but wasn't able to find any

Like if I wanted one of these: https://github.com/hwalsuklee/tensorflow-generative-model-co...

Googling LeNet, Reset, AlexNet or other well known architectures will provide you with links to the network weights.
I found keras provided pretrained networks such as VGG-16 that worked well.
I’ll see if I can’t make a directory of various pretrained networks and collections. Expect a new reply in ~2 days.
Loved his Coursera "Machine Learning" course. A good mix of maths and intuition.
FWIW I didn't like it that much. I learned much more from reading about it and then trying to code things.

I do understand that his course also gets you to code yourself, but they give you "helper functions" that obviously won't be there when actually making something, so I'd rather write those myself.

What books or articles did you read? I found his course to be a little boring.
Anyone know if paying for the specialization is worth it? (Or for any other online mooc certificate in general?)
Well, it gets you some meat to fill your CV/LinkedIn with and the prices aren't steep really with 50$ a month or so.

I think you also don't have access to programming assignments otherwise, which are very useful IMO, though you can probably gain access in other ways.
