What is the primary benefit of transfer learning in deep learning?

• It simplifies the architecture of neural networks.

• It eliminates the need for neural networks.

• It enables achieving high performance with less effort and resources.

• It allows for training models without any data.

Why is the Imagenet dataset crucial for transfer learning?

• It is the only dataset available for CNN training.

• It offers a large variety of images and categories for feature transfer.

• It provides a small set of images for testing.

• It contains only images of animals.

How can pre-trained CNNs be utilized in transfer learning?

• By using them only for binary classification tasks.

• By discarding them and starting with a new model.

• By using them as feature extractors and adding a new classifier.

• By retraining all layers from scratch.

What is the purpose of freezing weights in transfer learning?

• To ensure the model uses more data.

• To make the model more complex.

• To focus training on the new classifier only.

• To prevent any changes to the entire model.

What is a major advantage of using transfer learning over traditional methods?

• It allows for faster training with less data.
