Reviews
"This book goes beyond the common assumption of supervised and semi-supervised learning that training and test data obey the same distribution. When the distribution changes, most statistical models must be reconstructed from new collected data that may be costly or even impossible to get for some applications. Therefore, it becomes necessary to develop approaches that reduce the need and the effort demanded for obtaining new labeled samples, by exploiting data available in related areas and using it further in similar fields. This has created a new family of machine learning algorithms, called transfer learning: a learning setting inspired by the capability of a human being to extrapolate knowledge across tasks to learn more efficiently. This book provides an overview of the state-of-the-art theoretical results in a specific - and arguably the most popular - subfield of transfer learning, called domain adaptation." --Mathematical Reviews Clippings
