• Abstract: Transfer learning has become a pivotal technique in machine learning and has proven to be effective in various real-world applications. However, utilizing this technique for classification tasks with sequential data often faces challenges, primarily attributed to the scarcity of class labels. To address this challenge, we introduce Multi-Source Adaptive Weighting (MSAW), an online multi-source transfer learning method. MSAW integrates a dynamic weighting mechanism into an ensemble framework, enabling automatic adjustment of weights based on the relevance and contribution of each source (representing historical knowledge) and target model (learning from newly acquired data). We demonstrate the effectiveness of MSAW by applying it to detect Respiratory Syncytial Virus cases within Emergency Department visits, utilizing multiple years of electronic health records from the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Our method demonstrates performance improvements over many baselines, including refining pre-trained models with online learning as well as three static weighting approaches, showing MSAW's capacity to integrate historical knowledge with progressively accumulated new data. This study indicates the potential of online transfer learning in healthcare, particularly for developing machine learning models that dynamically adapt to evolving situations where new data is incrementally accumulated.

  Continual learning, the ability to acquire knowledge from new data while retaining previously learned information, is a fundamental challenge in machine learning. We propose Dynamic Model Merging, DynaMMo, a method that merges multiple networks at different stages of model training to achieve better computational efficiency. We evaluate DynaMMo on three publicly available datasets, demonstrating its effectiveness compared to existing approaches.

We propose a different perspective on the problem and investigate the advancement of multimodal DFER performance by adapting SSL-pre-trained disjoint unimodal encoders.

  We propose a novel approach, black-box adversarial reprogramming (BAR), that repurposes a well-trained black-box machine learning model. Using zeroth order optimization and multi-label mapping techniques, BAR can reprogram a black-box ML model solely based on its input-output responses. BAR outperforms state-of-the-art methods and yields comparable performance to the vanilla adversarial reprogramming method.
