Taskonomy: Disentangling Task Transfer LearningAmir R. Zamir1,2Alexander Sax1 William Shen1 Leonidas Guibas1Jitendra Malik2Silvio Savarese11Stanford University2University of California, visual tasks have a relationship, or are they unre-lated? For instance, could having surface normals sim-plify estimating the depth of an image? Intuition answersthese questions positively, implying existence of astructureamong visual tasks. Knowing this structure has notable val-ues; it is the concept underlying Transfer Learning and pro-vides a principled way for identifying redundancies acrosstasks, in order to, for instance, seamlessly reuse supervi-sion among related tasks or solve many tasks in one systemwithout piling up the propose a fully computational approach for model-ing the structure of the space of visual tasks.
