Interpretable Multi-Task Learning can be expressed as learning a sparse graph of the task relationship based on the prediction performance of the learned models. Since many natural phenomenon exhibit sparse structures, enforcing sparsity on learned models reveals the underlying task relationship. Moreover, different sparsification degrees from a fully connected graph uncover various types of structures, like cliques, trees, lines, clusters or fully disconnected graphs. In this paper, we propose a bilevel formulation of multi-task learning that induces sparse graphs, thus, revealing the underlying task relationships, and an efficient method for its computation. We show empirically how the induced sparse graph improves the interpretability of the learned models and their relationship on synthetic and real data, without sacrificing generalization performance.

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, our graph is learned simultaneously with model parameters of each task, thus it reflects the critical relationship among tasks in the specific prediction problem. We characterize graph structure with its weighted adjacency matrix and show that the overall objective can be optimized alternatively until convergence. We also show that our methodology can be simply extended to a nonlinear form by being embedded into a multi-head radial basis function network (RBFN). Extensive experiments, against six state-of-the-art methodologies, on both synthetic data and real-world applications suggest that our methodology is able to reduce generalization error, and, at the same time, reveal a sparse graph over tasks that is much easier to interpret.
Inspired by recent work in attention models for image captioning and question answering, we present a soft attention model for the reinforcement learning domain. This model uses a soft, top-down attention mechanism to create a bottleneck in the agent
, forcing it to focus on task-relevant information by sequentially querying its view of the environment. The output of the attention mechanism allows direct observation of the information used by the agent to select its actions, enabling easier interpretation of this model than of traditional models. We analyze different strategies that the agents learn and show that a handful of strategies arise repeatedly across different games. We also show that the model learns to query separately about space and content (`where vs. `what). We demonstrate that an agent using this mechanism can achieve performance competitive with state-of-the-art models on ATARI tasks while still being interpretable.
Multi-task learning is a powerful method for solving multiple correlated tasks simultaneously. However, it is often impossible to find one single solution to optimize all the tasks, since different tasks might conflict with each other. Recently, a no
vel method is proposed to find one single Pareto optimal solution with good trade-off among different tasks by casting multi-task learning as multiobjective optimization. In this paper, we generalize this idea and propose a novel Pareto multi-task learning algorithm (Pareto MTL) to find a set of well-distributed Pareto solutions which can represent different trade-offs among different tasks. The proposed algorithm first formulates a multi-task learning problem as a multiobjective optimization problem, and then decomposes the multiobjective optimization problem into a set of constrained subproblems with different trade-off preferences. By solving these subproblems in parallel, Pareto MTL can find a set of well-representative Pareto optimal solutions with different trade-off among all tasks. Practitioners can easily select their preferred solution from these Pareto solutions, or use different trade-off solutions for different situations. Experimental results confirm that the proposed algorithm can generate well-representative solutions and outperform some state-of-the-art algorithms on many multi-task learning applications.
Continual learning aims to learn continuously from a stream of tasks and data in an online-learning fashion, being capable of exploiting what was learned previously to improve current and future tasks while still being able to perform well on the pre
vious tasks. One common limitation of many existing continual learning methods is that they often train a model directly on all available training data without validation due to the nature of continual learning, thus suffering poor generalization at test time. In this work, we present a novel framework of continual learning named Bilevel Continual Learning (BCL) by unifying a {it bilevel optimization} objective and a {it dual memory management} strategy comprising both episodic memory and generalization memory to achieve effective knowledge transfer to future tasks and alleviate catastrophic forgetting on old tasks simultaneously. Our extensive experiments on continual learning benchmarks demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed BCL compared to many state-of-the-art methods. Our implementation is available at https://github.com/phquang/bilevel-continual-learning.
A multi-task learning (MTL) system aims at solving multiple related tasks at the same time. With a fixed model capacity, the tasks would be conflicted with each other, and the system usually has to make a trade-off among learning all of them together
. For many real-world applications where the trade-off has to be made online, multiple models with different preferences over tasks have to be trained and stored. This work proposes a novel controllable Pareto multi-task learning framework, to enable the system to make real-time trade-off control among different tasks with a single model. To be specific, we formulate the MTL as a preference-conditioned multiobjective optimization problem, with a parametric mapping from preferences to the corresponding trade-off solutions. A single hypernetwork-based multi-task neural network is built to learn all tasks with different trade-off preferences among them, where the hypernetwork generates the model parameters conditioned on the preference. For inference, MTL practitioners can easily control the model performance based on different trade-off preferences in real-time. Experiments on different applications demonstrate that the proposed model is efficient for solving various MTL problems.
