Artificial Intelligence By Example

The motivation of transfer learning

Transfer learning provides a cost-effective way of using trained models for other purposes within the same company, such as the food processing company described in Chapter 9, Getting Your Neurons to Work. This chapter describes how this food processing company used the model for other similar purposes.

The company that succeeds in doing this will progressively generalize the use of the solution. By doing so, inductive abstraction will take place and lead to other AI projects, which proves gratifying to the management of a corporation and the teams providing the solutions.
