THE NERD CORNER 🤓

Transfer Learning vs. Training From Scratch. Transfer Learning adapts pre-trained networks to new tasks, capitalizing on prior knowledge. In contrast, Training from Scratch begins with a blank slate, tailored specifically to a task but demanding more data. While transfer methods can be efficient and resource-saving, they may inherit biases. On the other hand, starting from scratch offers neutrality, yet demands vast resources.
