Abstract

Virtually all existing multi-task learning methods for string data require either domain specific knowledge to extract feature representations or a careful setting of many input parameters. In this work, we propose a feature-free and parameter-light multi-task clustering algorithm for string data. To transfer knowledge between different domains, a novel dictionary-based compression dissimilarity measure is proposed. Experimental results with extensive comparisons demonstrate the generality and the effectiveness of our proposal.
