• Abstract summary: Fine-tuning the deep convolution neural network(CNN) using a pre-trained model helps transfer knowledge learned from larger datasets to the target task. We propose RIFLE - a strategy that deepens backpropagation in transfer learning settings. RIFLE brings meaningful updates to the weights of deep CNN layers and improves low-level feature learning.

• Abstract: Fine-tuning the deep convolution neural network(CNN) using a pre-trained model helps transfer knowledge learned from larger datasets to the target task. While the accuracy could be largely improved even when the training dataset is small, the transfer learning outcome is usually constrained by the pre-trained model with close CNN weights (Liu et al., 2019), as the backpropagation here brings smaller updates to deeper CNN layers. In this work, we propose RIFLE - a simple yet effective strategy that deepens backpropagation in transfer learning settings, through periodically Re-Initializing the Fully-connected LayEr with random scratch during the fine-tuning procedure. RIFLE brings meaningful updates to the weights of deep CNN layers and improves low-level feature learning, while the effects of randomization can be easily converged throughout the overall learning procedure. The experiments show that the use of RIFLE significantly improves deep transfer learning accuracy on a wide range of datasets, out-performing known tricks for the similar purpose, such as Dropout, DropConnect, StochasticDepth, Disturb Label and Cyclic Learning Rate, under the same settings with 0.5% -2% higher testing accuracy. Empirical cases and ablation studies further indicate RIFLE brings meaningful updates to deep CNN layers with accuracy improved.

  We propose a method for hiding the least-important samples during the training of deep neural networks. We adaptively find samples to exclude in a given epoch based on their contribution to the overall learning process. Our method can reduce total training time by up to 22% impacting accuracy only by 0.4% compared to the baseline.

  We introduce Learn, Unlearn, and Relearn (LURE) an online learning paradigm for deep neural networks (DNNs) LURE interchanges between the unlearning phase, which selectively forgets the undesirable information in the model, and the relearning phase, which emphasizes learning on generalizable features. We show that our training paradigm provides consistent performance gains across datasets in both classification and few-shot settings.
