We consider a problem in Multi-Task Learning (MTL) where multiple linear models are jointly trained on a collection of datasets ("tasks"). A key novelty of our framework is that it allows the sparsity pattern of regression coefficients and…

Multi-task learning (MTL) aims to improve generalization performance by learning multiple related tasks simultaneously. While sometimes the underlying task relationship structure is known, often the structure needs to be estimated from data…

Multitask learning can be effective when features useful in one task are also useful for other tasks, and the group lasso is a standard method for selecting a common subset of features. In this paper, we are interested in a less restrictive…
