  1. Probing transfer learning with a model of synthetic correlated datasets

    2022 · Machine Learning Science and Technology

    Abstract Transfer learning can significantly improve the sample efficiency of neural networks, by exploiting the relatedness between a data-scarce target task and a data-abundant source task. Despite years of successful applications, transfer learning practice often …

  2. Maslow's Hammer for Catastrophic Forgetting: Node Re-Use vs Node Activation

    2022 · arXiv (Cornell University)

    Continual learning - learning new tasks in sequence while maintaining performance on old tasks - remains particularly challenging for artificial neural networks. Surprisingly, the amount of forgetting does not increase with the dissimilarity between the …

  3. RL Perceptron: Generalization Dynamics of Policy Learning in High Dimensions

    2025 · Physical Review X

    Reinforcement learning (RL) algorithms have transformed many domains of machine learning. To tackle real-world problems, RL often relies on neural networks to learn policies directly from pixels or other high-dimensional sensory input. By contrast, many …
