Transfer Learning applied to NLP and Computer Vision

Pablo Vargas Ibarra, Manuel López Sheriff

Los humanos aprendemos. Cuando encontramos una solución buena a un problema, intentamos reutilizar lo aprendido para resolver desafíos similares. En el contexto del Deep Learning, podemos aplicar técnicas de transfer learning heredando arquitecturas de redes neuronales ya entrenadas o representaciones densas de palabras (Word Embeddings), como punto de partida en nuevos problemas. Este tipo de técnicas se han probado útiles en la práctica y es un campo de investigación muy activo actualmente. Nos ahorran tiempo y nos permiten obtener mejores resultados.

Introduciremos problemas tipo en los campos del Natural Language Processing y Computer Vision. Expondremos las dificultades, técnicas y computacionales, que presentan estos ejercicios. Y acudirá en nuestro auxilio de manera natural el transfer learning. Finalmente, os enseñaremos dónde encontrar los recursos necesarios y mostraremos algún ejemplo de cercana actualidad.

Sobre los ponentes

Pablo Vargas Ibarra

Kernel Analytics

Data scientist and mathematician passionate about the application of statistics, optimization and machine learning to business decision-making. Currently, working at Kernel Analytics, a boutique consultancy specialized in advanced analytics.

I like investing a great amount of my free time studying and trying new things about Data Science such as online courses and Kaggle competitions. Lastly, I am especially interested in Deep Learning, a boosting area in recent years.

Kernel Analytics

I really enjoy learning mathematics and sharing knowledge.

Since I got in the Data Science world some years ago, I have been working in several projects of different nature (sport, telco, health...). My fundamental work tool is Python, and I continue building a powerful statistics basis.

Unstructured data (images, text, audio) shows itself as much more challenging topic once you know the basics of data analysis. That is why I am truly stimulated by Deep Learning. I have gone through a few courses and have worked in related projects, and would like to become an expert in the field.
