Creating a Cross-Domain Capable ML Pipeline

As classifying images into categories is a ubiquitous task occurring in various domains, a need for a machine learning pipeline which can accommodate for new categories is easy to justify. In particular, common general requirements are to filter out low-quality (blurred, low contrast etc.) images, and to speed up the learning of new categories if image quality is sufficient. In this blog post we compare several image classification models from the transfer learning perspective.
