A General Regularization Framework for Domain Adaptation

Wei Lu, Hai Leong Chieu, Jonathan Löfgren · 2016

We propose a domain adaptation framework, and formally prove that it generalizes the feature augmentation technique in (Daumé III, 2007) and the multi-task regularization framework in (Evgeniou and Pontil, 2004).We show that our framework is strictly more general than these approaches and allows practitioners to tune hyper-parameters to encourage transfer between close domains and avoid negative transfer between distant ones.
