A lightweight transformer based multi task learning model with dynamic weight allocation for improved vulnerability prediction by Lan Liu, Zhanfa Hui, Guiming Chen, Tingfeng Cai, Chiyu Zhou

“…Traditional methods, such as single-task learning and ensemble approaches, often struggle with these challenges, particularly in detecting rare but critical vulnerabilities. To address this, we propose the MTLPT: Multi-Task Learning with Position Encoding and Lightweight Transformer for Vulnerability Prediction, a novel multi-task learning framework that leverages custom lightweight Transformer blocks and position encoding layers to effectively capture long-range dependencies and complex patterns in source code. …”
