Transfer Learning: A Beginner's Guide

This blog post will introduce the concept of'transfer learning' and how it is used in machine learning applications. Transfer learning is not a machine learning model or technique; it is rather a'design methodology' within machine learning. Another type of'design methodology' is, for example, active learning. A next blog post will explain how you can use active learning in conjunction with transfer learning to optimally leverage existing (and new) data. In a broad sense, machine learning applications that leverage external information to improve the performance or generalisation capabilities use transfer learning.
