Apple Machine Learning paper: Transfer Learning in Scalable Graph Neural Network for Improved Physical Simulation

“We demonstrate that with our proposed transfer learning methods, model fine-tuned with a small portion of the training data could reach even better performance compared with the one trained from scratch. On 2D Deformable Plate, our pretrained model fine-tuned on 1/16 of the training data could achieve 11.05% improvement compared to model trained from scratch.”
