Transfer learning

As explained in Sutskever's List

Transfer learning is a technique that adapts knowledge learned from one task or dataset to another task or dataset.

How Sutskever's List covers it

How deep it goes

Demonstrates fine-tuning results across datasets but gives no adaptation procedure.

Examples

Compares results on CIFAR-100, CIFAR-10, Stanford Cars, Oxford Pets, Food-101, FGVC Aircraft, and Birdsnap.

What you can do after

Evaluate transfer results by comparing fine-tuned model performance across vision datasets.

How it connects

Connects ImageNet pretraining and fine-tuning with GPipe-enabled model scaling.
