Modular adaptation for cross-domain few-shot learning

Abstract

A method, apparatus and system for adapting a pre-trained network for application to a different dataset includes arranging at least two different types of active adaptation modules in a pipeline configuration, wherein an output of a previous active adaptation module produces an input for a next active adaptation module in the pipeline in the form of adapted network data until a last active adaptation module, and wherein each of the at least two different types of adaptation modules can be switched on or off, determining at least one respective hyperparameter for each of the at least two different types of active adaptation modules, and applying the at least one respective determined hyperparameter to each of the at least two different types of active adaptation modules for processing received data from the pretrained network to determine an adapted network.
