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.

arXiv:2604. 07848v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Multi-task learning shows strikingly inconsistent results -- sometimes joint training helps substantially, sometimes it actively harms performance -- yet the field lacks a principled framework for predicting these outcomes.
