Train your classifier first: Cascade Neural Networks Training from upper layers to lower layers

Shucong Zhang, Cong-Thanh Do, Rama Doddipatla +3

Although the lower layers of a deep neural network learn features which are transferable across datasets, these layers are not transferable within the same dataset. That is, in gen…
