Lesson 2 Larger Images Clarification

In Lesson 2 about the Dog Breed Classification. Jeremy mentions about the retraining with a larger images. The line that I am referring to in the code is below

learn.set_data(get_data(299, bs))

Will start small then move to larger general images.

How does calling this method learn.set_data(get_data(299, bs)) re-train with larger size images, because the method get_data returns
return data if sz > 300 else data.resize(340, 'tmp')

The sz parameter that is passed is β€œ299” so what is the explanation, The only difference is calling the transformation model to transform the images will now use sz as 299

Did you figure this out? I’m also wondering about this…

set_data does not retrain the model. If you look carefully, he runs learn.fit in the next cell, which actually does the training.
