Feature extraction using multi-task learning

摘要

Systems and methods for training a neural network model are disclosed. In the method, training data is obtained by a deep neural network (DNN) first, the deep neural network comprising at least one hidden layer. Then features of the training data are obtained from a specified hidden layer of the at least one hidden layer, the specified hidden layer being connected respectively to a supervised classification network for classification tasks and an autoencoder based reconstruction network for reconstruction tasks. And at last the DNN, the supervised classification network and the reconstruction network are trained as a whole based on the obtained features, the training being guided by the classification tasks and the reconstruction tasks.
