On Sequential Bayesian Inference for Continual Learning

Samuel Kessler, Adam Cobb, Tim G. J. Rudner +2

Sequential Bayesian inference can be used for continual learning to prevent catastrophic forgetting of past tasks and provide an informative prior when learning new tasks. We revis…

Efficient Adapter Transfer of Self-Supervised Speech Models for Automatic Speech Recognition

Bethan Thomas, Samuel Kessler, Salah Karout

Self-supervised learning (SSL) is a powerful tool that allows learning of underlying representations from unlabeled data. Transformer based models such as wav2vec 2.0 and HuBERT ar…

An Adapter Based Pre-Training for Efficient and Scalable Self-Supervised Speech Representation Learning

Samuel Kessler, Bethan Thomas, Salah Karout

We present a method for transferring pre-trained self-supervised (SSL) speech representations to multiple languages. There is an abundance of unannotated speech, so creating self-s…

Same State, Different Task: Continual Reinforcement Learning without Interference

Samuel Kessler, Jack Parker-Holder, Philip Ball +2

Continual Learning (CL) considers the problem of training an agent sequentially on a set of tasks while seeking to retain performance on all previous tasks. A key challenge in CL i…

Hierarchical Indian Buffet Neural Networks for Bayesian Continual Learning

Samuel Kessler, Vu Nguyen, Stefan Zohren +1

We place an Indian Buffet process (IBP) prior over the structure of a Bayesian Neural Network (BNN), thus allowing the complexity of the BNN to increase and decrease automatically.…
