Machine learning offers performance improvements and novel functionality, but its life cycle performance is understudied. In areas like cognitive communications, where systems are long-lived, life cycle trade-offs are key to system design. Herein, we consider the use of deep learning to classify spectrograms. We vary the label-space over which the network makes classifications, as may emerge with changes in use over a system’s life cycle, and compare heterogeneous transfer learning performance across label-spaces between model architectures. Our results offer an empirical example of life cycle challenges to using machine learning for cognitive communications. They evidence important trade-offs among performance, training time, and sensitivity to the order in which the label-space is changed. And they show that fine-tuning can be used in the heterogeneous transfer of spectrogram classifiers.
