+Difference between `resume_from` and `load_from`:
+`resume_from` loads both the model weights and optimizer status, and the epoch is also inherited from the specified checkpoint. It is usually used for resuming the training process that is interrupted accidentally.
+`load_from` only loads the model weights and the training epoch starts from 0. It is usually used for finetuning.

 ### Train with multiple machines
 
 If you run mmdetection on a cluster managed with [slurm](https://slurm.schedmd.com/), you can just use the script `slurm_train.sh`.
