Transfer Learning Methods for Domain Adaptation in Technical Logbook Datasets (2022.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Technical logbook data typically has both a domain, the field it comes from, and an application, what it is used for. |
| Approach: | They propose to use domain-specific technical language to identify technical logbook entries by using transfer learning to learn from different domains and from different datasets. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach improves performance in all cases but one of the three domains studied. |
