mnist_transfer_cnn.py

'''Transfer learning toy example.

1 - Train a simple convnet on the MNIST dataset the first 5 digits [0..4].
2 - Freeze convolutional layers and fine-tune dense layers
   for the classification of digits [5..9].

Get to 99.8% test accuracy after 5 epochs
for the first five digits classifier
and 99.2% for the last five digits after transfer + fine-tuning.
