Multi-task learning (MTL) has led to successes in many applications of machine learning, from natural language processing and speech recognition to computer vision and drug discovery. This article aims to give a general overview of MTL, particularly in deep neural networks. It introduces the two most common methods for…

Machine learning (ML) is the fastest growing field in computer science, and health informatics is among the greatest challenges. The goal of ML is to develop algorithms which can learn and improve over time and can be used for predictions. Most ML researchers concentrate on automatic machine learning (aML), where great…

Multi-task learning is a learning paradigm which seeks to improve the generalization performance of a learning task with the help of some other related tasks. In this paper, we propose a regularization formulation for learning the relationships between tasks in multi-task learning. This formulation can be viewed as a…

'Maxim Fedorov' 'Igor V. Tetko'] Title: Abstract Despite the increasing volume of available data, the proportion of experimentally measured data remains small compared to the virtual chemical space of possible chemical structures. Therefore, there is a strong interest in simultaneously predicting different ADMET and…

'Jeremy Forest' 'Subutai Ahmad'] A key challenge for AI is to build embodied systems that operate in dynamically changing environments. Such systems must adapt to changing task contexts and learn continuously. Although standard deep learning systems achieve state of the art results on static benchmarks, they often…

Background The lack of sufficient training data is the limiting factor for many Machine Learning applications in Computational Biology. If data is available for several different but related problem domains, Multitask Learning algorithms can be used to learn a model based on all available information. In…

A PhD is more than just another university degree. A PhD is about the pursuit of knowledge, the aspiration to figure things out and the love to explore new ideas. It is a personal journey filled with challenges, discoveries and encounters with extraordinary people. As I reflect on this incredible adventure, a feeling…

Identifying the binding between the target proteins and molecules is essential in drug discovery. The multi-task learning method has been introduced to facilitate knowledge sharing among tasks when the amount of information for each task is small. However, multi-task learning sometimes worsens the overall performance…

'Subham Chakraborty' 'Suman Bera'] Abstract- In recent years, multi-task learning has turned out to be of great success in various applications. Though single model training has promised great results throughout these years, it ignores valuable information that might help us estimate a metric better. Under…

This paper uses constructs from the field of multitask machine learning to define pairs of learning tasks that either shared or did not share a common subspace. Human subjects then learnt these tasks using a feedback-based approach. We found, as hypothesised, that subject performance was significantly higher on the…

The ability to transfer knowledge across tasks and generalize to novel ones is an important hallmark of human intelligence. Yet not much is known about human multi-task reinforcement learning. We study participants’ behavior in a novel two-step decision making task with multiple features and changing reward functions.…

Multitask learning has shown promising performance in many applications and many multitask models have been proposed. In order to identify an effective multitask model for a given multitask problem, we propose a learning framework called learning to multitask (L2MT). To achieve the goal, L2MT exploits historical…

In multi-task learning, difficulty levels of different tasks are varying. There are many works to handle this situation and we classify them into five categories, including the direct sum approach, the weighted sum approach, the maximum approach, the curriculum learning approach, and the multi-objective optimization…

Humans and other animals demonstrate a remarkable ability to generalize knowledge across distinct contexts and objects during natural behavior. We posit that this ability to generalize arises from a specific representational geometry, that we call abstract and that is referred to as disentangled in machine learning.…

Transferable neural network potentials have shown great promise as an avenue to increase the accuracy and applicability of existing atomistic force fields for organic molecules and inorganic materials. Training sets used to develop transferable potentials are very large, typically millions of examples, and as such, are…

'Jonathan D. Cohen'] The terms multi-task learning and multitasking are easily confused. Multi-task learning refers to a paradigm in machine learning in which a network is trained on various related tasks to facilitate the acquisition of tasks. In contrast, multitasking is used to indicate, especially in the cognitive…

Machine olfaction—the artificial replication of the sense of smell—faces significant challenges due to the absence of large, standardized training datasets. Unlike vision, language, and audio models, which benefit from extensive corpora such as ImageNet, GLUE, and AudioSet, olfaction lacks scaled equivalents and…

Flexible computation is a hallmark of intelligent behavior. Yet, little is known about how neural networks contextually reconfigure for different computations. Humans are able to perform a new task without extensive training, presumably through the composition of elementary processes that were previously learned.…

In computer science, reinforcement learning is a powerful framework with which artificial agents can learn to maximize their performance for any given Markov decision process (MDP). Advances over the last decade, in combination with deep neural networks, have enjoyed performance advantages over humans in many difficult…

Deep learning is becoming increasingly relevant in drug discovery, from de novo design to protein structure prediction and synthesis planning. However, it is often challenged by the small data regimes typical of certain drug discovery tasks. In such scenarios, deep learning approaches – which are notoriously…

Today, machine learning methods are widely employed in drug discovery. However, the chronic lack of data continues to hamper their further development, validation, and application. Several modern strategies aim to mitigate the challenges associated with data scarcity by learning from data on related tasks. These…

We investigate the potential of graph neural networks for transfer learning and improving molecular property prediction on sparse and expensive to acquire high-fidelity data by leveraging low-fidelity measurements as an inexpensive proxy for a targeted property ofinterest. This problem arises in discovery processes…
