Heterogeneous Task
Heterogeneous task learning addresses the challenge of training machine learning models on diverse and inconsistent datasets, encompassing various data types and task objectives simultaneously. Current research focuses on adapting existing architectures like transformers and Gaussian processes, and developing novel algorithms such as meta-learning and federated learning approaches, to effectively handle this heterogeneity, often incorporating techniques like dynamic task assignment and parameter sharing. This field is crucial for advancing AI applications in real-world scenarios, such as smart cities and healthcare, where data is inherently diverse and distributed, enabling more efficient and robust model training across multiple, often conflicting, objectives.
