Multi-task learning on the edge: cost-efficiency and theoretical optimality

Machine Learning 2021-10-12 v1

Abstract

This article proposes a distributed multi-task learning (MTL) algorithm based on supervised principal component analysis (SPCA) which is: (i) theoretically optimal for Gaussian mixtures, (ii) computationally cheap and scalable. Supporting experiments on synthetic and real benchmark data demonstrate that significant energy gains can be obtained with no performance loss.
