“Transfer learning is probably where neural networks have a unique advantage over shallow models.” —Andriy Burkov, The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book
We learned earlier in the book that a key aspect of machine learning models, such as neural networks, is that they learn to map the data we input relative to their outputs. In order to adapt to the data we set these models up with various hyperparameters that allow our models to capture the optimal function for data that is passed through. This process is a means of controlling model complexity to adjust functions that suit the underlying patterns in our data, although we can also conceptualize this process as a complex form of memory compression.
This approach is often applied to series individually in datasets, i.e. one item of clothing, food, energy region, etc., which limits a trained model to a specific dataset and its underlying distribution of data used for...
