• Abstract: Transfer learning methods start performing poorly when the complexity of the learning task is increased. Most of these methods calculate the cumulative differences of all the matched features and then use them to back-propagate that loss through all the layers. Contrary to these methods, in this work, we propose a novel layer-wise learning scheme that adjusts learning parameters per layer as a function of the differences in the Jacobian/Attention/Hessian of the output activations w.r.t. the network parameters. We applied this novel scheme for attention map-based and derivative-based (first and second order) transfer learning methods. We received improved learning performance and stability against a wide range of datasets. From extensive experimental evaluation, we observed that the performance boost achieved by our method becomes more significant with the increasing difficulty of the learning task.

  Deep learning models display catastrophic forgetting when learning new data continuously. We present a novel method that preserves previous knowledge without storing previous data. This method is inspired by the architecture of a vision transformer and employs a unique token capable of encapsulating the compressed knowledge of each task.

  Normalization layers have recently experienced a renaissance in the deep reinforcement learning and continual learning literature. We show that normalization brings with it a subtle but important side effect: an equivalence between growth in the norm of the network parameters and decay in the effective learning rate. We propose to make the learning rate schedule explicit with a simple re- parameterization which we call Normalize-and-Project.

  We consider a problem known as multi-task learning, consisting of fitting a set of regression functions intended for solving different tasks. In our novel formulation, we couple the parameters of these functions, so that they learn in their task specific domains while staying close to each other. This facilitates cross-fertilization in which data collected across different domains help improving the learning performance at each other task.
