• Abstract summary: We develop a multi-relational graph based Multi-Task Learning model called Heterogeneous Multi-Task Graph Isomorphism Network (HMTGIN) In each training forward pass, HMTGIN embeds the input CQA forum graph by an extension of Graph Isomorphism Network and skip connections. In the evaluation, the embeddings are shared among different task-specific output layers to make corresponding predictions.

• Abstract: Various data mining tasks have been proposed to study Community Question Answering (CQA) platforms like Stack Overflow. The relatedness between some of these tasks provides useful learning signals to each other via Multi-Task Learning (MTL). However, due to the high heterogeneity of these tasks, few existing works manage to jointly solve them in a unified framework. To tackle this challenge, we develop a multi-relational graph based MTL model called Heterogeneous Multi-Task Graph Isomorphism Network (HMTGIN) which efficiently solves heterogeneous CQA tasks. In each training forward pass, HMTGIN embeds the input CQA forum graph by an extension of Graph Isomorphism Network and skip connections. The embeddings are then shared across all task-specific output layers to compute respective losses. Moreover, two cross-task constraints based on the domain knowledge about tasks' relationships are used to regularize the joint learning. In the evaluation, the embeddings are shared among different task-specific output layers to make corresponding predictions. To the best of our knowledge, HMTGIN is the first MTL model capable of tackling CQA tasks from the aspect of multi-relational graphs. To evaluate HMTGIN's effectiveness, we build a novel large-scale multi-relational graph CQA dataset with over two million nodes from Stack Overflow. Extensive experiments show that: $(1)$ HMTGIN is superior to all baselines on five tasks; $(2)$ The proposed MTL strategy and cross-task constraints have substantial advantages.

  Key assumption in multi-task learning is that at the inference time the model only has access to a given data point but not to the data point's labels from other tasks. Here we introduce a novel relational multi-task learning setting where we leverage data point labels from auxiliary tasks to make more accurate predictions. We develop MetaLink, where our key innovation is to build a knowledge graph that connects data points and tasks.
