• Abstract: In multi-task learning (MTL), we improve the performance of key machine learning algorithms by training various tasks jointly. When the number of tasks is large, modeling task structure can further refine the task relationship model. For example, often tasks can be grouped based on metadata, or via simple preprocessing steps like K-means. In this paper, we present our group structured latent-space multi-task learning model, which encourages group structured tasks defined by prior information. We use an alternating minimization method to learn the model parameters. Experiments are conducted on both synthetic and real-world datasets, showing competitive performance over single-task learning (where each group is trained separately) and other MTL baselines.

  Multi-task learning (MTL) is a paradigm that simultaneously learns multiple tasks by sharing information at different levels. We introduce a posteriori information into the model, considering that different tasks may produce correlated outputs with mutual influences. We achieve this by incorporating a feedback mechanism into MTL models, where the output of one task serves as a hidden feature for another task.

  We formulate it as a few-shot reinforcement learning problem where a task is characterized by a subtask graph. Our multi-task subtask graph inferencer (MTSGI) first infers the common high-level task structure in terms of the subtask graph from the training tasks. Our experiment results on 2D grid-world and complex web navigation domains show that the proposed method can learn and leverage the common underlying structure of the tasks for faster adaptation to the unseen tasks.

  Adaptive Task Adapting Sharing (TAPS) is a method for tuning a base model to a new task by adaptively modifying a small, task-specific subset of layers. Compared to other methods, TAPS retains high accuracy on downstream tasks while introducing few task-specific parameters. We evaluate our method on a suite of fine-tuning tasks and architectures (ResNet, DenseNet, ViT) and show that it achieves state-of-the-art performance while being simple to implement.

  Few-shot learning aims to learn representations that can tackle novel tasks given a small number of examples. Recent studies show that task distribution plays a vital role in the model's performance.

  We introduce MetaICL, a new meta-training framework for few-shot learning where a pretrained language model is tuned to do in-context learn-ing on a large set of training tasks. We show that MetaICL approaches (and sometimes beats) the performance of models fully finetuned on the target task training data, and outperforms much bigger models with nearly 8x parameters.
