• Abstract: This Project was my Undergraduate Final Year dissertation, supervised by Dimitrios Kollias This research delves into the realm of affective computing for image analysis, aiming to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of multi-task learning in the context of emotion recognition. This project investigates two primary approaches: uni-task solutions and a multi-task approach to the same problems. Each approach undergoes testing, exploring various formulations, variations, and initialization strategies to come up with the best configuration. The project utilizes existing a neural network architecture, adapting it for multi-task learning by modifying output layers and loss functions. Tasks encompass 7 basic emotion recognition, action unit detection, and valence-arousal estimation. Comparative analyses involve uni-task models for each individual task, facilitating the assessment of multi-task model performance. Variations within each approach, including, loss functions, and hyperparameter tuning, undergo evaluation. The impact of different initialization strategies and pre-training techniques on model convergence and accuracy is explored. The research aspires to contribute to the burgeoning field of affective computing, with applications spanning healthcare, marketing, and human-computer interaction. By systematically exploring multi-task learning formulations, this research aims to contribute to the development of more accurate and efficient models for recognizing and understanding emotions in images. The findings hold promise for applications in diverse industries, paving the way for advancements in affective computing

  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.

  Multi-task learning aims at solving multiple machine learning tasks at the same time. A good solution to a multi-task learning problem should be generalizable in addition to being Pareto optimal. We propose a method of under- parameterized self-auxiliaries for multi-task models to achieve the best of both worlds.

  Multi-task learning has emerged as a promising approach for sharing structure across multiple tasks. The reasons why multi-task learning is so challenging compared to single-task learning are not fully understood. We propose a form of gradient surgery that projects a task's gradient onto the normal plane of the gradient of any other task that has a conflicting gradient.
