Good question, the HUGE advantage of CNN is transfer learning. Google do a huge photo database for transfer-learning and if that dataset had cell images then you've made it. If not - you could start the trend and train up a database.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2021-10-07)

As a practice data analysis I am trying to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) on [some cellular images](https://www.kaggle.com/xhlulu/recursion-2019-load-resize-and-save-images/data) made publicly available on Kaggle in 2019 by the company Recursion via supervised deep learning.

I want to increase the predictive power using transfer learning at the lower layers of my CNN preferably from a public imaging model.

Are there any appropriate models available?

learn = cnn_learner(data, 
                    models.resnet50, 
                    metrics=error_rate)

resnet50 is one of many pre-trained 2D CNN computer vision models which use transfer learning. If you've classifying a common image such as a given mammal you're sorted because they'll be loads of pictures of that mammal all over resnet50. However, 'a cell' I dunno.

pip install google_images_download

I don't think its on conda. Then see if you get lucky with the following
from google_images_download import google_images_download
response = google_images_download.googleimagesdownload()
arguments = {"keywords":"cells,organelles, membranes","limit":60,"print_urls":False}
paths = response.download(arguments)
print(paths)
