Experiments use ImageNet‑pretrained Inception v3 and ResNet plus a small custom CNN on four datasets (histopathology patches for cancer, retinal scans ~4k images, microscopy protein images <15k, and cats vs dogs) and report 4–10x speedup in epochs to reach comparable validation, average ~7x, and about ~4–5% absolute AUC improvement on medical test sets. Freezing early layers harms accuracy, indicating features not directly reusable, yet copying only per‑filter scaling (mean/variance) boosts convergence. The small custom CNN matches large nets trained from scratch.
