Abstract

Methods, systems, and techniques for sharing layers between convolutional neural networks (CNNs). A data processing system may include a first and a second CNN that share a first group of layers. The first CNN may include the first group of layers in series with a second group of layers and be configured such that data for the first CNN is input to the first group of layers. The second CNN may include the first group of layers in series with a third group of layers and be configured such that data for the second CNN is also input to the first group of layers.
