Abstract(in English) We report the results of a study on multi-task learning for the accuracy improvement of attractiveness estimation of food photography. We have been studying a way of improving the estimation accuracy by effectively using a small-scale image dataset. This paper proposes another approach based on multi-task learning for attractiveness estimation. Multi-task learning is a method that simultaneously learns multiple tasks within one model. Solving a task of interest together with its related tasks can improve the generalization performance of a trained model compared to solving each task independently. Thus, we expect that such a multi-task approach is effective for the attractiveness estimation of food photography. This report proposes a multi-task learning method that simultaneously solves multiple problems including attractiveness estimation as the main task and related estimation/classification problems as subtasks, and also confirm its effectiveness through evaluation experiments.
