Raman spectroscopy is a label-free, non-invasive spectroscopic technique, which can be utilized for many biomedical and diagnostic investigations. To do so, chemometric modelling strategies are used, but they lead to a low generalizability of the models. To tackle this issue we investigated transfer learning (TL) approaches for deep learning (DL) based modelling of Raman spectra for classification of three bacterial spore species. In initial test we found that TL can facilitate the usage of DL for time-consuming measurement modalities, because it can help to deal with low dataset sizes.
