A .ckpt file is a checkpoint file used in machine learning to save the state of a model during training. These files store the model’s parameters, allowing training to resume from the last saved point without starting over.
Applications/Use Cases:
- Model Training: Saving progress during training to prevent data loss and enable resumption.
- Model Evaluation: Testing the model’s performance at various stages of training.
- Transfer Learning: Using pre-trained models as starting points for new tasks.
