Fine-tuning a model pretrained on a large dataset for a new, smaller task
- Level: advanced
- Estimated time: 1 days
- Roadmap: Deep Learning & Neural Networks
Before this step
Mini projects
- Fine-tune a pretrained ResNet on a small custom image classification dataset
Interview questions
- When would you freeze early layers vs fine-tune the whole network during transfer learning?
