Cooperative multi-task semantic communication (CMT-SemCom) improves task execution performance by leveraging shared representations. However, as we demonstrated in [1], cooperative multi-tasking can be either constructive or destructive, depending on the semantic relationships among tasks.
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.

arXiv:2509. 16959v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: When different objectives conflict with each other in multi-task learning, gradients begin to interfere and slow convergence, thereby potentially reducing the final model's performance.
