Tutorial on Transfer Learning for Deep Learning
Presentation slides.
A hands-on tutorial on Transfer Learning for Deep Neural Networks will be carried out during IWANN 2019. The tutorial will include a practical session with connection to the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.

Abstract:
Training deep neural networks from scratch is not easy. Finding a good model for a given problem requires of huge amounts of data, lots of computational power, and a team of DL experts dedicated to the task for weeks. Since we cannot dedicate these resources for every single problem that may be appropriate for deep learning, the community has been actively looking for easier and faster solutions, mostly focused on the reuse of pre-trained deep learning models. This is the main goal of the transfer learning field, which seeks to exploit models designed and trained for a problem A to solve a potentially unrelated problem B. In this tutorial we will introduce the two main approaches to transfer learning, fine tuning and feature extraction, detailing the benefits and handicaps of each one. We will provide hands-on experience on running both types of transfer learning, while working on the CTE-POWER9 cluster hosted at BSC, which includes state-of-the-art Volta GPU racks.
Scheduling:
- One hour theory on fine tunning, transfer leaning and feature extraction.
- One hour practice with the CTE-POWER9 Cluster of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center.
Best Paper and Best Special Session Prizes
As a part of IWANN 2019 scientific programme, two prizes will be awarded:
– Best contribution.
– Best special session.
Each award will include a cash prize granted by Springer, publisher of the proceedings within its LNCS series. The support by Springer is gratefully acknowledged.
The concession will be decided by IWANN 2019 chairs, based upon scientific merit and relevance.
