Cascaded Transfer: Learning Many Tasks under Budget Constraints

ArXi:2601.21513v2 Announce Type: replace In distributed applications, such as energy demand forecasting at the substation level or federated learning, a large number of related tasks must be learned by different models, while the exact task relationships are unknown. We propose the novel Cascaded Transfer Learning (CTL) paradigm in which model parameters cascade hierarchically through tasks organized as a rooted tree, respecting a global
