  • Publication number: 20230196211
    Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure is directed to systems and methods that provide a simple, scalable, yet effective strategy to perform transfer learning with a mixture of experts (MoE). In particular, the transfer of pre-trained representations can improve sample efficiency and reduce computational requirements for new tasks. However, representations used for transfer are usually generic, and are not tailored to a particular distribution of downstream tasks. In contrast, example systems and methods of the present disclosure use expert representations for transfer with a simple, yet effective, strategy.

  • Publication number: 20220189612
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for training a neural network to perform a downstream computer vision task. One of the methods includes pre-training an initial neural network that shares layers with the neural network to perform an initial computer vision task and then training the neural network on the downstream computer vision task.

  • Patent number: 11294970
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for associating an entity with at least one search query. Some implementations are directed to methods and apparatus for identifying multiple queries associated with an entity and identifying one or more of the queries as an entity search query that provides desired search results for the entity. Some implementations are directed to methods and apparatus for identifying a particular entity and, in response to identifying the particular entity, identifying an entity search query corresponding to the particular entity.

  • Publication number: 20210256422
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for predicting machine learning model performance from the model parameter values, including for use in making improved decisions with regard to early stopping of training procedures. As one example, the present disclosure discusses the prediction of the accuracy (e.g., relative to a defined task and testing dataset such as a computer vision task) of trained neural networks (e.g., convolutional neural networks (CNNs)), using only the parameter values (e.g., the values of the network's weights) as inputs. As such, one example aspect of the present disclosure is directed to computing systems that include and use a machine-learned performance prediction model that has been trained to predict performance values of machine-learned models based on their parameter values (e.g., weight values and/or hyperparameter values).

  • Patent number: 9098552
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus for scoring images related to entities. In one aspect, a method includes identifying images associated with a person, each image being included in one or more resources; obtaining, for each resource that includes one of the images, a quality score that represents a quality of the resource; for each of the images: generating an image resource quality score from the quality scores of the resources that include the image; identifying a set of similar images from the images, each similar image having a measure of similarity to the image that meets a similarity measure threshold; generating an image score based on image resource quality scores of the resources that include the similar images relative to image resource quality scores of the resources that include each of the images; and generating an image authority score based on the image resource quality score and the image score.
