## Intro

So far nnU-Net only supports supervised pre-training, meaning that you train a regular nnU-Net on some pretraining dataset

As a reminder, many training hyperparameters such as patch size and network topology differ between datasets as a

Throughout this README we use the following terminology:

- `source dataset` is the dataset you intend to run the pretraining on
- `pretraining dataset` is the dataset you intend to run the pretraining on (former: source dataset)
- `target dataset` is the dataset you are interested in; the one you wish to fine tune on


## Pretraining on the source dataset
## Training on the pretraining dataset

In order to obtain matching network topologies we need to transfer the plans from one dataset to another. Since we are
only interested in the target dataset, we first need to run experiment planning (and preprocessing) for it:

overwrite default plans.

And run the training as usual:

Note how we use the 'all' fold to train on all available data. For pretraining it does not make sense to split the data.
