报告简介：

A basic condition for efficient transfer learning is the similarity between the target model and source models. In practice, however, the similarity condition is difficult to meet or is even violated. Instead of the similarity condition, a brand-new strategy, linear correlation ratio, is introduced in this paper to build an accurate relationship between the models. Such a correlation ratio can be easily estimated by historical data or historical characteristics of permanent variables. Then, an accurate transfer learning likelihood is established based on the correlation ratio combination. On the practical side, the new framework is applied to some application scenarios, specially the area of data streams. Methodologically, some techniques are suggested for transferring the information from simple source models to a relatively complex target model. Theoretically, some favorable properties, including the global convergence rate, are achieved, even for the case where the source models are not similar to the target model. All in all, it can be seen from the theories and experimental results that the inference on the target model is significantly improved by the information from similar or dissimilar source models, and it is somewhat surprising that a related phenomenon of Stein's paradox is illustrated.
