finomhangítás

Finomhangítás, often translated as fine-tuning, is a crucial step in the development of many machine learning models, particularly in deep learning. It involves taking a pre-trained model, which has already learned general features from a large dataset, and further training it on a smaller, more specific dataset. This allows the model to adapt its existing knowledge to a new, related task.

The core idea behind finomhangítás is transfer learning. Instead of training a model from scratch, which can be computationally expensive and require vast amounts of data, finomhangítás leverages the patterns and representations learned by a model on a general task, such as image recognition on ImageNet, and applies them to a specialized task, like identifying specific types of medical images. This is possible because the initial layers of deep neural networks often learn generic features that are broadly applicable across different domains.

During finomhangítás, the pre-trained model's weights are adjusted, but typically with a much lower learning rate than during initial training. This prevents the model from drastically forgetting what it has already learned. Sometimes, only the later layers of the network are retrained, while the earlier layers, responsible for more general feature extraction, are kept frozen. The specific layers to be finomhangított and the learning rate are hyperparameters that are tuned based on the performance on a validation set.

Finomhangítás is widely used in natural language processing, computer vision, and audio processing, significantly accelerating development and improving performance on tasks where labeled data is scarce. It is a powerful technique for adapting general-purpose models to niche applications efficiently and effectively.
