SIMS: Scale-Invariant Merit-Function-Based Scalarization for Multi-Task Learning proposes a new scalarization method for multi-task learning that is invariant to the relative scales of task losses. By using a logarithmic transformation, SIMS converts the multi-objective problem into a single objective that preserves weak Pareto optimality and allows a smooth surrogate with controllable approximation error. Experiments on standard multi-task benchmarks show that SIMS consistently outperforms existing scalarization methods and achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance.

arXiv:2607. 03998v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The local sharpness of the loss, the top Hessian eigenvalue $\lambda_1$, determines the largest stable gradient step, but measuring it normally requires Lanczos or Hessian-vector iterations.
