Task Contrastive Learning

Task contrastive learning aims to improve model performance by simultaneously training on multiple related tasks, leveraging the inherent relationships between them to enhance feature representation and generalization. Current research focuses on applying this technique with various architectures, including transformer-based LLMs and convolutional neural networks, often incorporating Siamese networks and multi-task learning frameworks to achieve better performance in diverse applications such as image segmentation, natural language processing, and fMRI analysis. This approach shows promise in reducing the need for large labeled datasets, improving zero-shot learning capabilities, and achieving state-of-the-art results across multiple domains, thereby advancing both methodological development and practical applications in various scientific fields.
