We study nonparametric regression under covariate shift with structured data, where a small amount of labeled target data is supplemented by a large labeled source dataset. In many real-world settings, the covariates in the target domain…
The data distribution commonly evolves over time leading to problems such as concept drift that often decrease classifier performance. Current techniques are not adequate for this problem because they either require detailed knowledge of…

Domain adaptation refers to the process of learning prediction models in a target domain by making use of data from a source domain. Many classic methods solve the domain adaptation problem by establishing a common latent space, which may…
