3.2. Key Algorithms & Techniques - A Detailed Breakdown

Several algorithmic approaches exist for transfer learning and domain adaptation.

We’ll explore the most prevalent ones: Fine-Tuning is arguably the most common approach in deep learning, particularly with neural networks like convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs).

Negative Transfer: Occurs when transferring knowledge actually decreas

Covariate Shift: The most common challenge in domain adaptation – a shift in the distribution of input features between the source and target domains.

Addressing covariate shift is crucial for successful transfer learning.

Frequently asked questions

What is transfer learning?

Transfer learning involves leveraging knowledge gained from solving one problem to solve a related problem, often with limited data.

What is self-supervised learning?

Self-supervised learning utilizes unlabeled data to learn meaningful representations by creating artificial labels from the inherent structure of the data itself.

What is meta-learning (‘Learning to Learn’)?

Meta-learning, or ‘learning to learn,’ trains models to quickly adapt to new tasks with minimal experience by learning how to learn itself.

What is continual learning?

Continual learning focuses on developing models that can continuously learn and adapt over time without forgetting previously acquired knowledge.
