10 Questions
1

What is the core working principle of Transfer Learning in computer vision?

2

What is the difference between 'Feature Extraction' (Linear Probing) and 'Fine-Tuning' in transfer learning?

3

Why is it standard practice to use a significantly smaller learning rate (e.g., 10x to 100x smaller) when fine-tuning pre-trained backbone layers?

4

If your target dataset is very small and highly similar to the source dataset (ImageNet), what transfer learning strategy is optimal?

5

If your target dataset is very large and substantially different from ImageNet (e.g., medical pathology or satellite imagery), what strategy is recommended?

6

What is 'Differential Learning Rates' (Layer-wise Learning Rate Decay)?

7

What is 'Catastrophic Forgetting' in transfer learning and continual learning?

8

How are pre-trained vision backbones in PyTorch (torchvision.models) initialized?

9

Why is it mandatory to use the exact same image normalization parameters (mean and std) used during pre-training when deploying a transfer learning model?

10

What is Self-Supervised Transfer Learning (e.g., DINO, MAE, MoCo)?
