DNN Adaptation

Fast adaptation of deep neural networks (DNN) is an important research topic in deep learning. Here, we have proposed a general adaptation scheme for DNN based on discriminant condition codes, which are directly fed to various layers of a pre-trained DNN through a new set of connection weights.
