Abstract:
Fusion of neural networks is performed by obtaining a first neural network and a second neural network. The first and the second neural networks are the result of a parent neural network subjected to different training. A similarity score is calculated of a first component of the first neural network and a corresponding second component of the second neural network. An interpolation weight is determined for the first and the second components by using the similarity score. A neural network parameter of the first component is updated based on the interpolation weight and a corresponding neural network parameter of the second component to obtain a fused neural network.
