Abstract

Identification of an entity that is of interest is prominent in any intelligent system. The visual intelligence of the model is enhanced when the capability of recognition is added. Several methods such as transfer learning and zero shot learning help to reuse the existing models or augment the existing model to achieve improved performance at the task of object recognition. Transferred fusion learning is one such mechanism that intends to use the best of both worlds and build a model that is capable of outperforming the models involved in the system. We propose a novel mechanism to amplify the process of transfer learning by introducing a student architecture where the networks learn from each other.
