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…

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…

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…

Title: Summary Machine learning has been heavily researched and widely used in many disciplines. However, achieving high accuracy requires a large amount of data that is sometimes difficult, expensive, or impractical to obtain. Integrating human knowledge into machine learning can significantly reduce data requirement…

'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…

'Jeremy Besnard' 'Richard Bickerton' 'Crina Grosan' 'Larisa Soldatova' 'Ross D. King'] The goal of quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) learning is to learn a function that, given the structure of a small molecule (a potential drug), outputs the predicted activity of the compound. We employed multi-task…

In this paper, we propose a novel efficient multi-task learning formulation for the class of progression problems in which its state will continuously change over time. To use the shared knowledge information between multiple tasks to improve performance, existing multi-task learning methods mainly focus on feature…

'Zha Hongyuan'] Multi-task learning is a paradigm, where multiple tasks are jointly learnt. Previous multi-task learning models usually treat all tasks and instances per task equally during learning. Inspired by the fact that humans often learn from easy concepts to hard ones in the cognitive process, in this paper, we…

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…

Background Since the high dimensionality of gene expression microarray data sets degrades the generalization performance of classifiers, feature selection, which selects relevant features and discards irrelevant and redundant features, has been widely used in the bioinformatics field. Multi-task learning is a novel…

'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…

A hallmark of human intelligence, but challenging for reinforcement learning (RL) agents, is our ability to compositionally generalise: to recompose familiar knowledge components in novel ways to solve new problems. For instance, a talented musician can conceivably transfer her knowledge of flute fingerings and guitar…

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…

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.…

—We present a novel methodology to jointly perform multi-task learning and infer intrinsic relationship among tasks by an interpretable and sparse graph. Unlike existing multi-task learning methodologies, the graph structure is not assumed to be known a priori or estimated separately in a preprocessing step. Instead…

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…

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…

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.…

'Larisa N. Soldatova' 'Joaquin Vanschoren' 'Ross D.

In supervised ML, the ML system generalizes from labelled examples to learn a model that can predict the…

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…

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…

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…

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…
