Keywords:
Multi-task learning, Machine learning, Predictive capabilities, Model enhancement, Concurrent predictions, Domain adaptation, Transfer learning, Neural networks, Performance evaluation, Real-world applicationsAbstract
This paper delves into the realm of multi-task learning (MTL) approaches within machine learning (ML) frameworks, aiming to augment predictive capabilities by enabling models to concurrently perform multiple predictions. We investigate various methodologies and strategies employed in MTL, analyzing their efficacy in enhancing predictive accuracies across diverse domains. Through a comprehensive review of literature and empirical studies, we elucidate the theoretical underpinnings of MTL and its practical implications in real-world applications. Key insights into the advantages, challenges, and future directions of MTL are synthesized, offering valuable perspectives for researchers and practitioners seeking to leverage MTL for bolstering predictive performance in ML models.
