METHOD FOR TRAINING AND OPERATING AN ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK CAPABLE OF MULTITASKING, ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK CAPABLE OF MULTITASKING AND APPARATUS

摘要

The invention relates to an improved option for using a multitasking artificial neural network (KNN). In particular, the invention proposes a method for training a multitasking KNN (110). According to the invention, a first path (P1) for a first information flow through the KNN (110) is provided, wherein the first path (P1) couples an input layer (120) of the KNN (110) to at least one cross-task intermediate layer (130) of the KNN (110), which is common for a plurality of differing tasks of the KNN (110), and the first path (P1) couples the at least one cross-task intermediate layer to a respective task-specific KNN section (140) from the plurality of differing tasks (A, B). Furthermore, first training data for training cross-task parameters, which are common to the plurality of differing tasks of the KNN (110), is supplied via the input layer (120) and the first path (P1). In addition, at least one task-specific, second path (P2) for a second information flow, which is different from the first information flow, through the KNN (110) is provided, wherein the second path (P2) couples the input layer (120) of the KNN (110) to only one part of the task-specific KNN sections (140) from the plurality of differing tasks, and second training data for training task-specific parameters is supplied via the second path (P2).
