Improving Fine-Tuning with Latent Cluster Correction

Abstract

The formation of salient clusters in the latent spaces of a neural network (NN) during training strongly impacts its final accuracy on classification tasks. This paper proposes a novel fine-tuning method that boosts performance by improving the quality of these latent clusters, using the Louvain community detection algorithm and a specifically designed loss function. We present preliminary results that demonstrate that this process yields an appreciable accuracy gain for classical NN architectures fine-tuned on the CIFAR100 dataset.
