Deep Multi-Task and Meta Learning

Deep Multi-Task and Meta-Learning

While deep learning has had great success in supervised and reinforcement learning issues like image classification, speech recognition, and game-playing, these models are specialized to a large extent for the specific task they are trained for. This course will examine how the structure resulting from numerous tasks can be used to learn more efficiently or effectively in a situation where there are multiple tasks to solve. This includes the following:

goal-conditioned reinforcement learning approaches that take advantage of the structure of the specified goal space to learn a large number of tasks much more quickly

meta-learning approaches aimed towards learning efficient learning algorithms capable of fast-learning new tasks

Where a problem necessitates learning a series of activities, curriculum, and lifelong learning, utilizing their shared structure to enable knowledge trajectories
