Title: Surrogate-based search for transfer learning

 

Speaker: Lazar Valkov

 

Abstract: 

In transfer learning with deep neural networks, people reuse pre-trained layers on a new task in order to achieve better performance. However, as the number of available pre-trained layers grows, it becomes difficult to efficiently select which ones to reuse in order to obtain the best performance on the new task. We approach this by evaluating multiple combinations of pre-trained layers and using a surrogate function to learn to predict an unseen combination's performance.

I will go through our preliminary results and outline the difficulties we have encountered.
