Abstract: Methods and systems for meta-learning are described for automating learning of child tasks with a single neural network. The order in which tasks are learned by the neural network can affect performance of the network, and the meta-learning approach can use a task-level curriculum for multi-task training. The task-level curriculum can be learned by monitoring a trajectory of loss functions during training. The meta-learning approach can learn to adapt task loss balancing weights in the course of training to get improved performance on multiple tasks on real world datasets. Advantageously, learning to dynamically balance weights among different task losses can lead to superior performance over the use of static weights determined by expensive random searches or heuristics. Embodiments of the meta-learning approach can be used for computer vision tasks or natural language processing tasks, and the trained neural networks can be used by augmented or virtual reality devices.
