Title
Kernel Multi-task Learning using Task-specific Features
Abstract
In this paper we are concerned with multi- task learning when task-specific features are available. We describe two ways of achiev- ing this using Gaussian process predictors: in the first method, the data from all tasks is combined into one dataset, making use of the task-specific features. In the second method we train specific predictors for each reference task, and then combine their predictions us- ing a gating network. We demonstrate these methods on a compiler performance predic- tion problem, where a task is defined as pre- dicting the speed-up obtained when applying a sequence of code transformations to a given program.
