yolov5：我可以在已经完成自定义训练的 model 上添加更多 epoch 吗？

Question

I'm trying to make image detection model with 30,000 images. I just tried 5 epochs which took about 5 hours of training.

The question is, if I want to simply add more epochs on the same model, how can i do that? Is there a way that I can load custom trained model?

Since it takes so long, I wish I can continue training from 5 epochs already done training. I'm using colab, and I experienced a few times loosing connection during the training so I'm afraid of giving more epochs from the start of training.

Yes, you can use the standard yolo training command and provide the path to your previously training model in the -- weights paramater.

!python train.py --img 960 --batch 20 --epochs 10 --data dataset.yaml --weights your_model.pt --cache --exist-ok
