+
+## Theory
+
+The multi-task training process can simultaneously handle different datasets with properties that cannot be fitted in one network (e.g. properties from DFT calculations under different exchange-correlation functionals or different basis sets).
+These datasets are denoted by $\boldsymbol x^{(1)}, \dots, \boldsymbol x^{(n_t)}$.
+For each dataset, a training task is defined as
+```math
+    \min_{\boldsymbol \theta}   L^{(t)} (\boldsymbol x^{(t)}; \boldsymbol  \theta^{(t)}, \tau), \quad t=1, \dots, n_t.
+```
+
+In the Pytorch implementation, during the multi-task training process, all tasks can share any portion of the model parameters.
+A typical scenario is that each task shares the same descriptor with trainable parameters $\boldsymbol{\theta}_ {d}$, while each has its own fitting network with trainable parameters $\boldsymbol{\theta}_ f^{(t)}$, thus
+$\boldsymbol{\theta}^{(t)} = \{ \boldsymbol{\theta}_ {d} , \boldsymbol{\theta}_ {f}^{(t)} \}$.
+At each training step, a task will be randomly selected from ${1, \dots, n_t}$ according to the user-specified probability,
+and the Adam optimizer is executed to minimize $L^{(t)}$ for one step to update the parameter $\boldsymbol \theta^{(t)}$.
+In the case of multi-GPU parallel training, different GPUs will independently select their tasks.
+In the DPA-2 model, this multi-task training framework is adopted.[^1]

+
+Compared with the previous TensorFlow implementation, the new support in PyTorch is more flexible and efficient.
+In particular, it makes multi-GPU parallel training and even tasks beyond DFT possible,
+enabling larger-scale and more general multi-task training to obtain more general pre-trained models.
+
+## Perform the multi-task training using PyTorch
+Training on multiple data sets (each data set contains several data systems) can be performed in multi-task mode,
+typically with one common descriptor and multiple specific fitting nets for each data set.
+To proceed, one need to change the representation of the model definition in the input script.
+The core idea is to replace the previous single model definition {ref}`model <model>` with multiple model definitions {ref}`model/model_dict/model_key <model/model_dict/model_key>`,
+define the shared parameters of the model part {ref}`shared_dict <model/shared_dict>`, and then expand other parts for multi-model settings.
+Specifically, there are several parts that need to be modified:
+
+- {ref}`model/shared_dict <model/shared_dict>`: The parameter definition of the shared part, including various descriptors,
+type maps (or even fitting nets can be shared). Each module can be defined with a user-defined `part_key`, such as `my_descriptor`.
+The content needs to align with the corresponding definition in the single-task training model component, such as the definition of the descriptor.
+
+- {ref}`model/model_dict <model/model_dict>`: The core definition of the model part and the explanation of sharing rules,
+starting with user-defined model name keys `model_key`, such as `my_model_1`.
+Each model part needs to align with the components of the single-task training {ref}`model <model>`, but with the following sharing rules:
+- - If you want to share the current model component with other tasks, which should be part of the {ref}`model/shared_dict <model/shared_dict>`,
+you can directly fill in the corresponding `part_key`, such as
+```"descriptor": "my_descriptor", ```
+to replace the previous detailed parameters. Here, you can also specify the shared_level, such as
+```"descriptor": "my_descriptor:shared_level", ```
+and use the user-defined integer `shared_level` in the code to share the corresponding module to varying degrees
+(default is to share all parameters, i.e., `shared_level`=0).
+The parts that are exclusive to each model can be written following the previous definition.
+
+- {ref}`loss_dict <loss_dict>`: The loss settings corresponding to each task model, specified by the `model_key`.
+Each {ref}`loss_dict/model_key <loss_dict/model_key>` contains the corresponding loss settings,
+which are the same as the definition in single-task training {ref}`<loss>`.
+
+- {ref}`training/data_dict <training/data_dict>`: The data settings corresponding to each task model, specified by the `model_key`.
+Each `training/data_dict/model_key` contains the corresponding `training_data` and `validation_data` settings,
+which are the same as the definition in single-task training {ref}`training_data <training/training_data>` and {ref}`validation_data <training/validation_data>`.
+
+- (Optional) {ref}`training/model_prob <training/model_prob>`: The sampling weight settings corresponding to each `model_key`, i.e., the probability weight in the training step.
+You can specify any positive real number weight for each task. The higher the weight, the higher the probability of being sampled in each training.
+This setting is optional, and if not set, tasks will be sampled with equal weights.
+
+An example input for multi-task training two models in water system can be found here: [multi-task input on water](../../examples/water_multi_task/pytorch_example/input_torch.json).
+
+## Finetune from the pretrained multi-task model
+
+To finetune based on the checkpoint `model.pt` after the multi-task pre-training is completed,
+users only need to prepare the normal input for single-task training `input_single.json`,
+and then select one of the trained model's task names `model_key`.
+Run the following command:
+```bash
+$ dp --pt train input_single.json --finetune model.pt --model-branch model_key
+```
