Training a data coding system comprising a feature extractor neural network

Abstract

Example embodiments provide a system for training a data coding pipeline including a feature extractor neural network, an encoder neural network, and a decoder neural network configured to reconstruct input data based on encoded features. A plurality of losses corresponding to different tasks may be determined for the coding pipeline. Tasks may be performed based on an output of the coding pipeline. A weight update may be determined for at least a subset of the coding pipeline based on the plurality of losses. The weight update may be configured to reduce a number of iterations for fine-tuning the coding pipeline for one of the tasks. This enables faster adaptation of the coding pipeline for one of the tasks after deployment of the coding pipeline. Apparatuses, methods, and computer programs are disclosed.
