Is criticalness correlated to the number of epochs needed to heal? #76

Open dorimedini opened 5 years ago

Say we train a FC3 model on some problem and get layer criticalness c1,c2,c3 (for layers 1,2,3 resp.). Now, say we freeze every layer except layer i and reset layer i to epoch 0, and re-train the model (train only layer i). Only train until we reach similar accuracy to the original trained model (until layer i is 'healed'), and take note of the number of epochs ei required to heal.

Is there any correlation between ei and ci for i=1,2,3?

Robust layers obviously have very small ei values because even reset to epoch 0 they still yield good results, but for networks with 'spread out' criticalness it would be interesting if we could find a pattern.
