What Is Transfer Learning? And Benefits Of Transfer Learning

Transfer learning is the act of optimizing a previously learned model like a neural network used in deep learning for a new task

Because the model has already learnt certain patterns or traits, training goes considerably more quickly.

By using previously learnt knowledge, models may often perform better with less data

Transfer learning may be used in situations when standard machine learning is known to encounter a bottleneck

models such as BERT or GPT in natural language processing (NLP) are pre-trained on large text corpora

Transfer learning-trained models need less data and computational resources

Solutions can be scaled and deployed more quickly since the model doesn’t have to learn from start
