arXiv:2607. 16554v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In multi-task learning (MTL) negative transfer is often considered as an optimization artifact, but it can also be viewed as a consequence of limited shared capacity and weak task redundancy.

The paper introduces COVER, a multi‑task learning framework that regularizes covariate overlap to mitigate the negative effects of sharing information across tasks with differing covariate distributions and response relationships. COVER blends a common component function, a shared neural representation, and low‑dimensional task‑specific coefficients, using taskwise second‑moment matrices to guide coefficient integration. The authors provide theoretical bias‑variance analysis, oracle inequalities, and neural‑network convergence rates, and demonstrate that COVER outperforms existing deep‑learning and statistical integration methods in simulations and a GTEx central‑nervous‑system study.

Transformers can learn broad families of tasks during pretraining and adapt to unseen tasks from a short prompt, but a rigorous understanding of this capability is limited. This paper studies how shared cross‑task structure influences the sample complexity of in‑context learning (ICL) by characterizing task‑space complexity through covering numbers, yielding a set of anchor functions that localize unseen tasks and predict responses. The authors construct a Transformer with Softmax attention to approximate this procedure and derive an error bound that separates the effects of pretraining tasks and prompt length, showing that once enough tasks are available the dependence on prompt length becomes dimension‑free.
