Domain Adaptive Transfer Learning with Specialist Models

2018-11-16 · Jiquan Ngiam, Daiyi Peng, Vijay Vasudevan, Simon Kornblith, Quoc V. Le, Ruoming Pang

Transfer learning is a widely used method to build high performing computer vision models. In this paper, we study the efficacy of transfer learning by examining how the choice of data impacts performance. We find that more pre-training data does not always help, and transfer performance depends on a judicious choice of pre-training data. These findings are important given the continued increase in dataset sizes. We further propose domain adaptive transfer learning, a simple and effective pre-training method using importance weights computed based on the target dataset. Our method to compute importance weights follow from ideas in domain adaptation, and we show a novel application to transfer learning. Our methods achieve state-of-the-art results on multiple fine-grained classification datasets and are well-suited for use in practice.

Training Specialist Models without Reasoning Trajectories for Domain Expert Distillation

2026-09-12 · Yilei Tu, Zihao Li, Shaoxiong Ji, Jörg Tiedemann 외 hf

Specialist distillation effectively transfers domain expertise to student models via teacher-generated reasoning trajectories. However, when these specialists are trained solely on question--answer pairs without explicit…

Why Specialist Models Still Matter: A Heterogeneous Multi-Agent Paradigm for Medical Artificial Intelligence

2026-05-28 · Yanan Wang, Shuaicong Hu, Jian Liu, Guohui Zhou 외 arxiv

The impressive performance of generalist large language models (LLMs) such as GPT and Claude in healthcare raises a critical question: will domain-specific medical specialist models become obsolete? We argue that the fut…

Task-Adaptive Pretrained Language Models via Clustered-Importance Sampling

2024-09-30 · David Grangier, Simin Fan, Skyler Seto, Pierre Ablin

Specialist language models (LMs) focus on a specific task or domain on which they often outperform generalist LMs of the same size. However, the specialist data needed to pretrain these models is only available in limite…

Vehicle Dispatching Systems (VDSs) are critical to the operational efficiency of Automated Container Terminals (ACTs). However, their widespread commercialization is hindered due to their low transferability across diver…

ALIGNBEAM : Inference-Time Alignment Transfer via Cross-Vocabulary Logit Mixing

2026-06-10 · Chirag Chawla, Pratinav Seth, Vinay Kumar Sankarapu arxiv

Domain fine-tuning degrades the safety of large language models: fine-tuned specialists readily comply with harmful prompts framed in domain language. Existing inference-time defenses that mix logits from a safe anchor m…
