    Create a callable mapping a Tensor of size `b x q x m` and an (optional)
    Tensor of size `b x q x d` to a Tensor of size `b x q`, where `m` is the
    number of outputs of the model using scalarization via the objective weights.
    This callable supports broadcasting (e.g. for calling on a tensor of shape
    `mc_samples x b x q x m`). For `m = 1`, the objective weight is used to
    determine the optimization direction.

    Args:
        weights: a 1-dimensional Tensor containing a weight for each task.
            If not provided, the identity mapping is used.

    Returns:
        Transform function using the objective weights.

        >>> weights = torch.tensor([0.75, 0.25])
        >>> transform = get_objective_weights_transform(weights)
