Abstract:A deep collaborative learning approach is introduced in which a chain of randomly wired neural networks is trained simultaneously to improve the overall generalization and form a strong ensemble model. The proposed method takes advantage of functional-preserving transfer learning and knowledge distillation to produce an ensemble model. Knowledge distillation is an effective learning scheme for improving the performance of small neural networks by using the knowledge learned by teacher networks. Most of the pre… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
