Bumblebee Training: Training your Pre-trained Models

Follow my lead and we’ll become the queen bees if machine learning! Using pre-trained models can be a great way to integrate machine learning without having to start from scratch. Using a model right out of the box though leads to an overwhelmed model and developer. Let’s teach our models what data we’re actually interested in to help smooth the process.
