| 1 | +# Enabling Auto-Mixed Precision for Transfer Learning with TensorFlow |
| 2 | +This tutorial guides you through the process of enabling auto-mixed precision to use low-precision datatypes, like bfloat16, for transfer learning with TensorFlow* (TF). |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +This sample demonstrates the end-to-end pipeline tasks typically performed in a deep learning use-case: training (and retraining), inference optimization, and serving the model with TensorFlow Serving. |

| 11 | +## Purpose |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +Through the implementation of end-to-end deep learning example, this sample demonstrates three important concepts: |
| 14 | +1. The benefits of using auto-mixed precision to accelerate tasks like transfer learning, with minimal changes to existing scripts. |
| 15 | +2. The importance of inference optimization on performance. |
| 16 | +3. The ease of using Intel® optimizations in TensorFlow, which are enabled by default in 2.9.0 and newer. |
| 17 | + |

| 99 | +#### Troubleshooting |
| 100 | +
|
| 101 | +If you receive an error message, troubleshoot the problem using the **Diagnostics Utility for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits**. The diagnostic utility provides configuration and system checks to help find missing dependencies, permissions errors, and other issues. See the [Diagnostics Utility for Intel® oneAPI Toolkits User Guide](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/develop/documentation/diagnostic-utility-user-guide/top.html) for more information on using the utility. |
