How to use Caltech 101 Dataset with PyTorch and TensorFlow in Python

Train a model on Caltech 101 dataset with PyTorch in Python

Let’s use Hub’s built-in PyTorch one-line dataloader to connect the data to the compute:

				
					dataloader = ds.pytorch(num_workers=0, batch_size=4, shuffle=False)

Train a model on Caltech 101 dataset with TensorFlow in Python

				
					dataloader = ds.tensorflow()
