Title

Consider Transfer Learning

Description

Transfer learning means using knowledge gained from one task (a pre-trained model) and applying it to another similar task. This is feasible only if there is an existing pre-trained model available for use. The absence of or reduction in the model training effort in case of fine-tuning results in savings in energy consumption.
