CONSTRAINED DESIGNED AND GUIDED LATENT FEATURE SPACE CONTRIBUTIONS TO MACHINE LEARNING MODELS

Systems, methods and products for quantitative translation of design requirements into a machine learning framework for training a classification model. A plurality of auxiliary tasks associated with a plurality of auxiliary task models are specified. The plurality of auxiliary task models are concurrently trained on the auxiliary tasks to generate one or more latent features learned by the plurality of auxiliary task models. The one or more latent features may be transferred from the plurality of auxiliary task models to augment a latent feature space of a target task for the classification model. Contribution levels of the transferred one or more latent features are adjusted based on design requirements for the target task for the classification model. First and second contribution levels are specified for respective first and second sets of auxiliary task latent features being quantified and enforced.
