👉 In the context of artificial intelligence and machine learning, a "brooder" refers to a type of neural network or model that is designed specifically for training on small datasets. These models are often used as a starting point for more complex models in larger datasets, where they can be fine-tuned by adjusting hyperparameters such as batch size, learning rate, and number of epochs. Brooders are particularly useful when dealing with large data sets or when the dataset is too large to fit into memory. They
