Abstract: This paper introduces a multi-task learning (MTL) approach for simultaneous sex classification and age estimation in panoramic radiographs, aligning with the tasks pertinent to forensic dentistry. For that, we dynamically optimize the logarithm of the task-specific weights during the loss training. Our results demonstrate the superior performance of our proposed MTL network compared to the individual task-based networks, particularly evident across a diverse data set comprising 7,666 images, spanning ages from 1 to 90 years and encompassing significant sex variability. Our network achieved an F1-score of 90.37%±0.54 and a mean absolute error of 5.66±0.22 through a cross-validation assessment procedure, which resulted in a gain of 1.69 percentage points and 1.15 years with respect to the individual sex classification and age estimation procedures. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first successful MTL-based network for these two tasks.
