The proposed technique converts neural networks from weight space to function space, allowing for scalability and handling of rich inputs like images. It achieves this through a dual parameterization that retains prior knowledge when past data is limited and incorporates new data efficiently. The approach demonstrates its strengths in uncertainty quantification and guiding exploration in model-based RL.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
Imagine you’re learning something new every day. That’s the idea behind this research, which makes it easier to learn and remember things over time. The technique works by looking at how functions (like images) are connected, rather than just focusing on the individual weights of a neural network. This helps the network scale up to big datasets, retain what it learned before, and quickly adapt to new information. It even does well with tasks that require uncertainty and exploration.
