• Title: Learnware: Small Models Do Big
• Authors: Zhi-Hua Zhou, Zhi-Hao Tan
• Abstract summary: The prevailing big model paradigm, which has achieved impressive results in natural language processing and computer vision applications, has not yet addressed those issues, whereas becoming a serious source of carbon emissions. This article offers an overview of the learnware paradigm, which attempts to enable users not need to build machine learning models from scratch, with the hope of reusing small models to do things even beyond their original purposes.

• Abstract: There are complaints about current machine learning techniques such as the requirement of a huge amount of training data and proficient training skills, the difficulty of continual learning, the risk of catastrophic forgetting, the leaking of data privacy/proprietary, etc. Most research efforts have been focusing on one of those concerned issues separately, paying less attention to the fact that most issues are entangled in practice. The prevailing big model paradigm, which has achieved impressive results in natural language processing and computer vision applications, has not yet addressed those issues, whereas becoming a serious source of carbon emissions. This article offers an overview of the learnware paradigm, which attempts to enable users not need to build machine learning models from scratch, with the hope of reusing small models to do things even beyond their original purposes, where the key ingredient is the specification which enables a trained model to be adequately identified to reuse according to the requirement of future users who know nothing about the model in advance.

  Provable guarantees for unlearning are often limited to supervised learning settings. We provide the first theoretical guarantees for unlearning in the pre-training and fine-tuning paradigm. We show that it is easier to unlearn pre-training data from models that have been fine-tuned to a particular task, and one can unlearn this data without modifying the base model.

  This paper describes Beimingwu, the first open-source learnware dock system providing foundational support for future research of learnware paradigm. The system significantly streamlines the model development for new user tasks, thanks to its integrated architecture and engine design. Notably, this is possible even for users with limited data and minimal expertise in machine learning, without compromising the raw data's security.

  Large pre-trained models can dramatically reduce the amount of task-specific data required to solve a problem, but they often fail to capture domain-specific nuances out of the box. This paper shows how to leverage recent advances in NLP and multi-modal learning to augment a pre-trained model with search engine retrieval.
