Evaluating renewable natural resources flow and net primary productivity with a GIS-Emergy approach: A case study of Hokkaido, Japan.

abstract：:Some neural network can be trained by transfer learning, which uses a pre-trained neural network as the source task, for a small target task's dataset. The performance of the transfer learning depends on the knowledge (i.e., layers) selected from the pre-trained network. At present, this knowledge is usually chosen by...
