How can source-domain details consume a model’s capacity?
Question: Answer in one to three sentences: What does it mean when a neural network spends capacity on details that are common in one image source?
Sample answer: It means the model devotes part of its finite representational budget to source-specific traits, such as repeated borders, compression artifacts, or consistent lighting. That leaves fewer resources for features that matter in the new image domain, such as recognizing low-light warehouse photos.
Key points:
- The model is using capacity to encode source-specific traits.
- Fewer resources remain for the target domain.
Rubric: The answer should explain that the network is using part of its capacity to represent source-domain details and that this reduces what is available for recognizing images from the target domain.
