Abstract

BACKGROUND: Input data curation and model training are essential, but time-consuming steps in building a deep-learning (DL) auto-planning model, ensuring high-quality data and optimized performance. Ideally, one would prefer a DL model that exhibits the same high-quality performance as a trained model without the necessity of undergoing such time-consuming processes. That goal can be achieved by providing models that have been trained on a given dataset and are capable of being fine-tuned for other ones, requiring no additional training.
