Outrageously Large Neural Networks: The Sparsely-Gated Mixture-of-Experts Layer“We introduce a Sparsely-Gated Mixture-of-Experts layer (MoE), consisting of up to thousands of feed-forward sub-networks. A trainable gating network determines a sparse combination of these experts to use for each example.”
