Flexible Parameter Sharing for Multi-Task Learning - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240185025 titled 'Flexible Parameter Sharing for Multi-Task Learning

Simplified Explanation

The present invention relates to systems and methods for flexible parameter sharing for multi-task learning.

  • Training method involves obtaining a test input, selecting a particular task from one or more tasks, and training a multi-task machine-learned model for the particular task.
  • Forward pass is performed using the test input and one or more connection probability matrices to generate a sample distribution of test outputs.
  • Components of the machine-learned model are trained based on the sample distribution.
  • Backwards pass is performed to train a connection probability matrix of the multi-task machine-learned model using a straight-through gumbel-softmax approximation.
