Our method is based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), where we compare how fine-tuning, in the context of transfer learning, from different source domains (general versus medical domain) affect classification performance. The preliminary results show that fine-tuning models trained on large and diverse datasets is favorable, even when the model{\textquoteright}s source domain has little to no resemblance to the new target.}, year = {2018}, journal = {MediaEval 2018}, publisher = {MediaEval}, }
