Theoretic Analysis and Extremely Easy Algorithms for Domain Adaptive Feature Learning
Domain adaptation problems arise in a variety of applications, where a
training dataset from the \textit{source} domain and a test dataset from the
\textit{target} domain typically follow different distributions. The primary
difficulty in designing effective learning models to solve such problems lies
in how to bridge the gap between the source and target distributions. In this
paper, we provide comprehensive analysis of feature learning algorithms used in
conjunction with linear classifiers for domain adaptation. Our analysis shows
that in order to achieve good adaptation performance, the second moments of the
source domain distribution and target domain distribution should be similar.
Based on our new analysis, a novel extremely easy feature learning algorithm
for domain adaptation is proposed. Furthermore, our algorithm is extended by
leveraging multiple layers, leading to a deep linear model. We evaluate the
effectiveness of the proposed algorithms in terms of domain adaptation tasks on
the Amazon review dataset and the spam dataset from the ECML/PKDD 2006
discovery challenge.Comment: ijca
