• Authors: Nishai Kooverjee, Steven James, Terence van Zyl
• Abstract summary: Pre-training a deep neural network on the ImageNet dataset is a common practice for training deep learning models. The technique of pre-training on one task and then retraining on a new one is called transfer learning. In this paper we analyse the effectiveness of using deep transfer learning for character recognition tasks.

• Abstract: Pre-training a deep neural network on the ImageNet dataset is a common practice for training deep learning models, and generally yields improved performance and faster training times. The technique of pre-training on one task and then retraining on a new one is called transfer learning. In this paper we analyse the effectiveness of using deep transfer learning for character recognition tasks. We perform three sets of experiments with varying levels of similarity between source and target tasks to investigate the behaviour of different types of knowledge transfer. We transfer both parameters and features and analyse their behaviour. Our results demonstrate that no significant advantage is gained by using a transfer learning approach over a traditional machine learning approach for our character recognition tasks. This suggests that using transfer learning does not necessarily presuppose a better performing model in all cases.

  We study transfer learning from a Bayesian perspective, where a parametric statistical model is used. Specifically, we study three variants of transfer learning problems, instantaneous, online, and time-variant transfer learning. For each problem, we define an appropriate objective function, and provide either exact expressions or upper bounds on the learning performance. Examples show that the derived bounds are accurate even for small sample sizes.

  Deep neural networks produce state-of-the-art results when trained on a large number of labeled examples. Deep neural networks tend to overfit when small amounts of labeled examples are used for training. We show that transfer learning always substantially improves the model's accuracy when few labeled examples are available.
