Title: Recent Advances in Multi-Task Learning

Abstract: The recent decade has witnessed a surging demand in data analysis, where we built machine learning models for various data analysis tasks. The multi-task learning is a machine learning paradigm that bridges related learning tasks and transfers knowledge among the tasks. The seminar reviews multi-task learning basics and recent advances, including distributed multi-task learning that provides efficient and privacy-preserving learning on distributed data sources; and interactive multi-task learning that solicits and integrates domain knowledge in multi-task learning, including human in the learning loop. The seminar is concluded by a discussion of future directions of multi-task learning.
