Multi-task learning is not compatible tuning

I’m working on a problem where I predict 9 different labels. I want each of the targets to be output to the probe. For this, I need to optimize the algorithm.

primary_labels = ["target1", "target2","target3", "target4","target5", "target6", "target7","target8", "target9"] secondary_labels = [] non_feature_columns = ["id"]  def to_tf_dataset(pd_dataset: pd.DataFrame, label_keys: list[str], droped_features: list[str]) -> tf.data.Dataset:     features = dict(pd_dataset.drop(label_keys + droped_features, axis=1))     labels = dict(pd_dataset[label_keys])     return tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices((features, labels)).batch(100)  train_tf = to_tf_dataset(train_pd, label_keys=primary_labels, droped_features=non_feature_columns + secondary_labels) test_tf = to_tf_dataset(test_pd, label_keys=[], droped_features=non_feature_columns)  model = tfdf.model = tfdf.keras.GradientBoostedTreesModel(num_trees=1000,     multitask=[tfdf.keras.MultiTaskItem(label=l, task=tfdf.keras.Task.CLASSIFICATION) for l in primary_labels],     verbose=1, tuner=tuner ) model.fit(train_tf)

ValueError: Multi-task learning is not compatible with the tuner

Hi @Burak_Kaya ,

The error message “Multi-task learning is not compatible with the tuner” indicates that the tuner you are using does not support training multi-task models.

In the meantime, there are a few workarounds that you can use:

  1. You can train each task independently using the tuner.
  2. You can use a different tuner that supports multi-task learning.For example, the Optuna and Hyperopt tuner supports multi-task learning.
  3. You can train the model without using a tuner.

I hope this helps!

Thanks.
