orthoMTL: Multi-Task Learning with Orthogonal Constraints

Fits regularised multi-task learning models where relationships between tasks are controlled via orthogonality or disjoint-support constraints. Supports regression, binary classification, and censored survival data. In survival mode, time-to-event outcomes are converted into binary labels at user-defined thresholds, enabling the discovery of features with time-varying effects that standard proportional-hazards models cannot detect. Implements the penalty described in Vervier et al. (2014) <https://hal.science/hal-00985654>.
