• Abstract: Efficient data selection is essential for improving the training efficiency of deep neural networks and reducing the associated annotation costs. However, traditional methods tend to be computationally expensive, limiting their scalability and real-world applicability. We introduce PruneFuse, a novel method that combines pruning and network fusion to enhance data selection and accelerate network training. In PruneFuse, the original dense network is pruned to generate a smaller surrogate model that efficiently selects the most informative samples from the dataset. Once this iterative data selection selects sufficient samples, the insights learned from the pruned model are seamlessly integrated with the dense model through network fusion, providing an optimized initialization that accelerates training. Extensive experimentation on various datasets demonstrates that PruneFuse significantly reduces computational costs for data selection, achieves better performance than baselines, and accelerates the overall training process.

• Optimizing Data Curation through Spectral Analysis and Joint Batch Selection (SALN) [0.0]
  This paper introduces SALN, a method designed to prioritize and select samples within each batch rather than from the entire dataset. The proposed method applies a spectral analysis-based to identify the most informative data points within each batch, improving both training speed and accuracy. It demonstrates up to an 8x reduction in training time and up to a 5% increase in accuracy over standard training methods.

  Transfer learning is a powerful tool enabling model training with limited amounts of data. The simplest transfer learning protocol is based on freezing" the feature-extractor layers of a network pre-trained on a data-rich source task. We show that this protocol is often sub-optimal and the largest performance gain may be achieved when smaller portions of the pre-trained network are kept frozen.
