Sharing Variables

When deploying large models on multiple GPUs, or when unrolling complex LSTMs or RNNs, it is often necessary to access the same Variable objects from different locations in the model construction code.

The "Variable Scope" mechanism is designed to facilitate that.

How to Retrain Inception using Transfer Learning

Training a full object recognition model like Inception takes a long time and a lot of images. This example shows how to use the technique of transfer learning to retrain just the final layer of a fully-trained model to recognize new categories of objects, which is a lot faster and easier than completely retraining a new model.
