Big Learning
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
Recent advances in big/foundation models reveal a promising path for deep learning, where the roadmap steadily moves from big data to big models to (the newly-introduced) big learning. Specifically, the big learning exhaustively exploits the information inherent in its large-scale complete/incomplete training data, by simultaneously modeling many/all joint/conditional/marginal data distributions across potentially diverse domains, with one universal foundation model. We reveal that big learning (i) underlies most existing foundation models, (ii) is equipped with extraordinary flexibilities for complete/incomplete training data and trustworthy data tasks, (iii) is capable of delivering all joint/conditional/marginal data capabilities with one universal model, and (iv) unifies conventional machine learning paradigms and enables their flexible cooperations, manifested as a universal learning paradigm. Diverse experiments are carried out to validate the effectiveness of the presented big learning.
