Joint Learning

Joint learning, a machine learning paradigm, aims to improve model performance and efficiency by simultaneously training multiple related tasks or datasets. Current research focuses on diverse applications, including multimodal data fusion (e.g., audio-text, images-videos), multi-task reinforcement learning, and distributed model training across heterogeneous devices, often employing transformer-based architectures, contrastive learning, and optimal transport methods. This approach offers significant advantages by leveraging shared representations and inter-task relationships, leading to improved accuracy, robustness, and reduced computational costs across various fields like computer vision, natural language processing, and robotics.
