• Title: Guided Transfer Learning
• Authors: Danko Nikoli\'c, Davor Andri\'c, Vjekoslav Nikoli\'c
• Abstract summary: In some applications, guided transfer learning enables the network to learn from a small amount of data. In other cases, a network with a smaller number of parameters can learn a task which otherwise only a larger network could learn. Guided transfer learning potentially has many applications when the amount of data, model size, or the availability of computational resources reach their limits.

• Abstract: Machine learning requires exuberant amounts of data and computation. Also, models require equally excessive growth in the number of parameters. It is, therefore, sensible to look for technologies that reduce these demands on resources. Here, we propose an approach called guided transfer learning. Each weight and bias in the network has its own guiding parameter that indicates how much this parameter is allowed to change while learning a new task. Guiding parameters are learned during an initial scouting process. Guided transfer learning can result in a reduction in resources needed to train a network. In some applications, guided transfer learning enables the network to learn from a small amount of data. In other cases, a network with a smaller number of parameters can learn a task which otherwise only a larger network could learn. Guided transfer learning potentially has many applications when the amount of data, model size, or the availability of computational resources reach their limits.

  We compare transfer learning, meta-learning and contrastive learning against reference Machine Learning (ML) tree-based and monolithic DL models. We show that (i) using large datasets we can obtain more general representations, (ii) contrastive learning is the best methodology. While ML tree-based cannot handle large tasks but fits well small tasks, by means of reusing learned representations, DL methods are reaching tree-based models performance also for small tasks.

  Continual learning (CL) can serve as a remedy through enabling knowledge-transfer across sequentially arriving tasks. We develop a transformer-based CL architecture for learning bimodal vision-and-language tasks. Our approach is scalable learning to a large number of tasks because it requires little memory and time overhead.

  In computer vision, neural network models struggle to continually learn new concepts without forgetting what has been learnt in the past. We develop a solution called Adaptive Distillation of Adapters (ADA), which is developed to perform continual learning. We empirically demonstrate on different classification tasks that this method maintains a good predictive performance without retraining the model.
