Multi-Task Learning in Tensorflow: Part 1

A Jupyter notebook accompanies this blog post. Why Multi-Task Learning When you think about the way people learn to do new things, they often use their experience and knowledge of the world to speed up the learning process. When I learn a new language, especially a related one, I use my knowledge of languages I already speak to make shortcuts. The process works the other way too - learning a new language can help you understand and speak your own better. Our brains learn to do multiple different tasks at the same time - we have the same brain architecture whether we are translating English to German or English to French.
