[Deep Learning]
Transfer Learning.
Using knowledge learned from one task to improve performance on a different but related task.
In-depth explanation
01Transfer learning leverages pre-trained models, typically trained on large datasets, as starting points for new tasks. Fine-tuning adapts the pre-trained weights to the target task. This approach dramatically reduces data and compute requirements for new tasks. It's especially powerful in computer vision and NLP where pre-training is expensive.
Examples

Using ImageNet-pretrained models
EX. 02
Fine-tuning BERT for sentiment
