How to set a variable network name for CNNs with trainNetwork

Hello everybody,

I'm building a CNN with Matlab and everything works just fine.

Is there any possibility though to set the name of the SeriesNetwork element from a variable?

Something like this:

networkName = 'myNetwork';

[networkName, trainInfo] = trainNetwork(myData, layers, options);

This would be very helpful since I could reuse the variable networkName globally in different scripts.

Hope I made my problem clear, thanks for your help.

When you use:

[networkName, trainInfo] = trainNetwork(myData, layers, options);

the networkName can be any variable you choose. For example:

[myNetwork, trainInfo] = trainNetwork(myData, layers, options);

Here, myNetwork is the trained network, returned as a SeriesNetwork object or a DAGNetwork object.

To re-use this variable, I would suggest saving the trained network as a MAT file. To do so:

 save('filename','myNetwork');

The trained networked can then be reloaded and leveraged in other scripts by loading the saved MAT file:

 load filename

Hope this helps!
