I am trying to get intermediate features from a pretrained resnet. As per this post https://discuss.pytorch.org/t/how-to-extract-features-of-an-image-from-a-trained-model/119/3 2 we can just  do something like this
new_classifier = nn.Sequential(*list(model.classifier.children())[:-1])

Looking at the code for pretrained resnet50, it is broken up into several blocks. The forward function then take these blocks and apply batchnorm, relu, maxpool, reshape, etc to them.
    def forward(self, x):
        x = self.conv1(x)
        x = self.bn1(x)
        x = self.relu(x)
        x = self.maxpool(x)

        x = self.layer1(x)
        x = self.layer2(x)
        x = self.layer3(x)
        x = self.layer4(x)

        x = self.avgpool(x)
        x = x.reshape(x.size(0), -1)
        x = self.fc(x)

So if the pretrained model is not just one large nn.Sequential module, does the above way of extracting features work? Will the new classifier apply the relu,maxpool,reshape,etc in this manner?
