Abstract

Neural networks have been evolved significantly at the cost of requiring many input data. However, collecting useful data is expensive for many practical uses, which can be barrier for practical use in real-world applications. In this work, we propose a framework for improving the model performance, in which the model leverages the auxiliary data that is only available during the training. We demonstrate how to (i) train the neural network to perform as though auxiliary data are used during the testing, and (ii) automatically select the auxiliary data during training to encourages the model to generalize well and avoid overfitting to the auxiliary data. We evaluate our method on several datasets, and compare the performance with baseline model. Despite the simplicity of our method, our method makes it possible to get good generalization performance in most cases.
