Transfer Learning with FASTSAM

[Sharpz7]

Hey folks,

I am interested in applying Transfer Learning to FastSAM. I tried following the Training and Validation Code that was provided, but I have a few questions:

• You don't specify FastSAM as the base model, why is this?
• How can I "freeze" certain layers to improve results? Do you have suggestions for this?
• How do I train text prompts and segmentations with the coco dataset? The code examples also do not do this I think?

Thanks. My long term goal is to make a "FastSAM" version of https://github.com/bowang-lab/MedSAM - I think that would be great.
