Deep-Learning

1. Transfer Learning

• Concept and Importance
  • Definition: A technique where a model pre-trained on a large dataset is fine-tuned for a specific, often smaller, target task.
  • Benefits:
    • Reduces training time and computational costs.
    • Requires less labeled data for the target task.
    • Often achieves better performance by leveraging knowledge from the pre-trained task.
• Popular Pre-Trained Models
  • AlexNet:
    • Introduced in 2012 and known for its success in the ImageNet Challenge.
    • Features: Convolutional layers with ReLU activation, dropout for regularization.
    • Applications: Object detection and image classification.
  • ResNet:
    • Introduced the concept of residual connections to mitigate vanishing gradients.
    • Features: Depths ranging from 18 to 152 layers for various tasks.
    • Applications: Medical image analysis, autonomous driving.
  • GoogLeNet (Inception Network):
    • Efficient architecture with inception modules for computational optimization.
    • Applications: Multi-object detection, real-time recognition systems.
• Applications of Transfer Learning
  • Computer Vision:
    • Fine-tuning pre-trained models for tasks like facial recognition and image segmentation.
  • Natural Language Processing (NLP):
    • Models like BERT, GPT used for sentiment analysis, text classification, and summarization.
  • Healthcare:
    • Leveraging models trained on medical imaging datasets for disease diagnosis and anomaly detection.
