Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Probabilistic classification and multi-task learning are two important
branches of machine learning research.
Probabilistic classification is useful
when the `confidence' of decision is necessary.
On the other hand, the idea of multi-task learning is beneficial
if multiple related learning tasks exist.
So far, kernelized logistic regression
has been a vital probabilistic classifier for the use
in multi-task learning scenarios.
However, its training tends to be computationally expensive,
which prevented its use in large-scale problems.
To overcome this limitation, we propose to employ
a recently-proposed probabilistic classifier called
the least-squares probabilistic classifier in multi-task learning scenarios.
Through image classification experiments, we show that our method
achieves comparable classification performance to the existing method,
with much less training time.
