Automatic labeling of data for transfer learning

Transfer learning uses trained weights from a source model as the initial weights for the training of a target dataset. A well chosen source with a large number of labeled data leads to significant improvement in accuracy. We demonstrate a technique that automatically labels large unlabeled datasets so that they can train source models for transfer learning. We experimentally evaluate this method, using a baseline dataset of human-annotated ImageNet1K labels, against five variations of this technique. We show that the performance of these automatically trained models come within 6% of baseline.
