Multi-Task Supervised Feature Compression for Split Computing

A single lightweight encoder that learns a compressed intermediate representation at its early layers, serving multiple vision tasks (classification, detection, segmentation) at once for split computing between a mobile device and an edge server. Trained by supervised compression with a rate-distortion-style objective, it lowers transmitted-feature size, end-to-end latency, and mobile energy consumption versus per-task baselines.
