Abstract
A method for training an artificial neural network (ANN) capable of multitasking. A first path is provided for a first information flow through the ANN, the first path coupling an input layer with at least one task-spanning intermediate layer which is common to a plurality of differing tasks of the ANN. The first path couples the at least one task-specific intermediate layer with a respective task-specific ANN segment of the tasks. First training data are supplied via the input layer and the first path for training task-spanning parameters that are common to the tasks. At least one task-specific second path is provided for a second information flow through the ANN that differs from the first information flow. The second path couples the input layer with only a subset of the task-specific ANN segments of the tasks, and second training data are supplied for training task-specific parameters via the second path.
