Why learning multiple tasks together doesn't cost extra

Adrien Weihs, Hayden Schaeffer

May 21, 2026

Learning multiple related operators (functions) simultaneously can leverage shared structure without sacrificing efficiency. The authors prove that Multiple Neural Operators achieve near-optimal approximation and generalization bounds for Lipschitz operator maps—matching single-task learning complexity despite the added multi-task burden. They also show DeepONet variants perform equivalently, establishing that task sharing doesn't incur hidden costs in worst-case scaling.
