Mr. Jean-Patrice GLAFKIDES
Mr. Jamal TATE
Mr. Jean-Patrice GLAFKIDES is DataValoris founder and PhD student at Université Paris VIII at the LIASD laboratory under the direction of Dr Herman Akdag, specializes in automated deeplearning model generation based on natural selection algorithms (also known as population-based training or deep neuroevolution) with it’s R&D team headed by Dr Gene I. Sher. In the domain where research teams are competing to develop and optimize state of the art deep neural network models through hyperparameter search techniques, our Phylogenetic Learning approach looks at the problem from a different angle. Phylogenetic Learning shows that the application of transfer learning to models belonging to the same phylogenetic tree results in better end result than training the final model on the same data alone. Transfer learning, brittleness, efficiency, stochastic initial weight independence, and the effect of the topology complexification on the deep learning process, are just some of the aspects that phylogenetic learning explores and helps us understand and shine a light on.
