Predicting trends in the quality of state-of-the-art neural networks without access to training or testing data

Predicting trends in the quality of state-of-the-art neural networks without access to training or testing data

In many machine learning applications, one uses pre-trained neural networks, having limited access to training and test data. Martin et al. show how to predict trends in the quality of such ...
