Beyond Shared Hierarchies: Deep Multitask Learning through Soft Layer Ordering
Elliot Meyerson, Risto Miikkulainen
Existing deep multitask learning (MTL) approaches align layers shared between tasks in a parallel ordering. Such an organization significantly constricts the types of shared struct…
Conversion Rate Optimization through Evolutionary Computation
Risto Miikkulainen, Neil Iscoe, Aaron Shagrin +7
Conversion optimization means designing a web interface so that as many users as possible take a desired action on it, such as register or purchase. Such design is usually done by…
Discovering Evolutionary Stepping Stones through Behavior Domination
Elliot Meyerson, Risto Miikkulainen
Behavior domination is proposed as a tool for understanding and harnessing the power of evolutionary systems to discover and exploit useful stepping stones. Novelty search has show…
Evolving Deep Neural Networks
Risto Miikkulainen, Jason Liang, Elliot Meyerson +8
The success of deep learning depends on finding an architecture to fit the task. As deep learning has scaled up to more challenging tasks, the architectures have become difficult t…
