The framework learns a set of “basis” models and a mixer predictor, which can combine the weights of the basis models on-the-fly to create a personalized model for a given end-user. TAPER consistently outperforms baseline methods and can synthesize smaller models for deployment on resource-limited devices, and can even be specialized without task descriptions based on past predictions.
