Multi-task deep learning is about learning multiple tasks using shared representations in a supervisory environment. Existing multi-task learning methodologies rely on splitting the network at a particular layer depending on the task. They do not generalize well across various tasks. We explore the split architecture and cross-stitch unit on facial landmark dataset where we regularize weights to share representation by introducing a mutual weight regularization loss.
