Saving a trained CNN after training

I am running a digit classification CNN in Matlab. After training I wish to save the network for future use in other applications. I tried the following commands:

filename = 'malsCNN_digit.mat';

save (filename);

This gives me an error. I then tried

newNet = net;

save newNet.

I get an error again. Frankly I am not sure why I am getting errors. Help is appreciated

Can you post the error code you get?

Hi Malayappan,

From my understanding you want to save a digit classification CNN (with the name net) as malsCNN_digit.mat for future use in other applications. You can use the following code to save it. After the code is successfully excetued, malsCNN_digit.mat will be created in your working directory which will contain your network with the name as net.

save('malsCNN_digit.mat', 'net');

For more information, refer to the following links.
