New SON-GOKU method uses graph coloring to improve multi-task learning

Researchers have developed a novel method called SON-GOKU to address gradient interference in multi-task learning. This approach uses graph coloring to partition tasks into compatible groups, ensuring that only tasks pulling the model in the same direction are activated simultaneously during training. This strategy aims to improve model performance by preventing conflicting objectives from slowing down convergence. Empirical results across six datasets demonstrate that SON-GOKU consistently outperforms existing multi-task learning optimizers. AI

IMPACT This method could enhance the efficiency and performance of models trained on multiple, potentially conflicting, objectives.

    Graph Coloring for Multi-Task Learning

    arXiv:2509.16959v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: When different objectives conflict with each other in multi-task learning, gradients begin to interfere and slow convergence, thereby potentially reducing the final model's performance. To address this, we introduce SON-GO…
