Online Transfer Learning for Real-Time Decision Making
Dr. Hua Zuo
Senior Lecturer, Australian Artificial Intelligence Institute (AAII)
With the rapid development of deep learning and AI, a major challenge is the continuous shift in data distributions. Traditional offline transfer learning assumes a stable target domain post-training, often leading to performance decline with evolving data. Online transfer learning addresses this by continuously updating the model at test time, maintaining adaptability to new data. However, it still faces issues like error accumulation, catastrophic forgetting, class imbalance, OOD detection difficulties, and overfitting. To tackle these challenges, we propose a multi-level framework. We use multiple teacher models to generate weighted pseudo-labels to mitigate error accumulation.
Research Excellence Lecture Series
Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology Research Excellence Lecture Series delivers public lectures, seminars and workshops across the faculty, university and wider community in four broad themes.
