Deciding Which Tasks Should Train Together in Multi-Task Neural Networks

Posted by Christopher Fifty, Research Engineer, Google Research, Brain Team Many machine learning (ML) models typically focus on learning one task at a time. For example, language models predict the probability of a next word given a context of past words, and object detection models identify the object(s) that are present in an image. However, there may be instances when learning from many related tasks at the same time would lead to better modeling performance. This is addressed in the domain ...
