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.
