While adapting pretrained vision models to downstream dense prediction tasks is widely used, current methods often overlook adaptation efficiency, especially in the context of multi-task learning (MTL). Although parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) methods can enhance parameter efficiency, broader aspects such as GPU memory and training time efficiency remain underexplored. In this paper, we propose a new paradigm that simultaneously achieves efficiency in Parameters, GPU Memory, and Training Time for Multi-Task Dense Vision Adaptation. Specifically, we propose a dual-branch framework, in which a frozen pretrained backbone serves as the generic main branch, and the proposed Bi-Directional Task Adaptation (BDTA) modules are integrated in parallel to form a task bypass branch that extracts adaptation features required by multiple specific tasks. This adaptation module is lightweight, efficient, and does not require backpropagation through the large pre-trained backbone, thus avoiding resource-intensive gradient computations. Moreover, a Mixture of Task Experts mechanism (MoTE) is further proposed to integrate adaptation features across tasks and scales, thereby obtaining more robust representations tailored for dense prediction tasks. On the PASCAL-Context benchmark, our method achieves over 2× relative performance improvement compared to the best prior multi-task PEFT method, while using only ~30% of the parameters, ~50% of the memory, and ~60% of the training time, demonstrating superior overall adaptation efficiency.

The transfer of knowledge from large-scale pre-trained models to diverse downstream tasks has achieved remarkable success. Beyond the traditional full fine-tuning paradigm, Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning (PEFT) has emerged as a more efficient model adaptation approach. However, applying existing PEFT methods to adapt dense vision models, particularly in multi-task settings, remains inadequately explored due to their low efficiency, limited task scalability, and neglect of cross-task fine-tuning interactions. To address these challenges, we propose the Task Dynamic-Synergistic Skill Adaptation, termed TDSS, an efficient and scalable multi-task model adaptation framework for dense visual predictions. TDSS comprises two key components: Task-Dynamic Skill Adapters (TDSA) and Task-Synergistic Adaptation Interaction (TSAI). Specifically, TDSA are inserted in parallel into pre-trained vision models to extract task-specific adapted features through the construction of skill representation experts and task dynamic gating. TSAI is developed to enhance cross-task adaptation interaction by bridging global generic and task-specific adapted features. Extensive experiments on multi-task dense visual predictions demonstrate that TDSS surpasses existing state-of-the-art parameter-efficient fine-tuning methods, while exhibiting remarkable efficiency and scalability in parameters and computational complexity.
