🤖Challenges of Multi-Task Learning with Loss Functions

r/MachineLearning9/9/2024

They express concerns and curiosities about the performance, memory usage, empirical evidence, and comparisons to existing methods of handling multi-task loss functions.

User Quotes:

" 5. "I'm a newbie in ML and DL... Could anyone explain how I can use the Jacobian Loss to better optimise and train my Autoencoder-UNet3D model?" "
" 4. "Can you compare this approach with creating multiple optimizers for each loss calculation, back propagating for each loss value and cumulating gradients from each optimizer?" "
" 3. "Is there a way to get validation loss curves on a decent size dataset using the different aggregators?" "
" 2. "Are there significant memory implications for this method? In other words, does total VRAM consumption scale (roughly) linearly with number of loss functions?" "
" 1. "I have a multi task classifier... I am very intrigued, because I have a loss made of 4 components... the 'conflict of gradients' is something I haven't thought of.. so I am wondering if torchjd can be worth a shot in my case (?)." "
