The notebook source code for this article is available on GitHub. Transfer learning is the practice of adapting a pre-trained model for a new but related task. An example of transfer learning is low-rank adaptation (LoRA), a common technique in LLM fine-tuning. In this notebook experiment, let’s load ResNet-18 with MindCV for fine-tuning on the CIFAR-100 dataset. ResNet-18 is…
