3 Domain Adaptation DA) : Problem Description When we need DA The Learning distribution is different from the Testing distribution. An example of a DA problem We have labeled images from a Web image corpus Is there a Person in unlabeled images from a Video corpus?? Person no Person Is there a Person? How to learn, from the source domain, a low-error classifier on the target one? Germain et al. GRAAL, LIF & LaHC) PAC-Bayesian Learning and Domain Adaptation December 7, / 10

4 Domain Adaptation DA) : Problem Description Supervised Classification We consider binary classification task: X input space, Y = { 1, 1} label set P S source domain: distribution over X Y ; D S marginal distribution over X S P S ) m a labeled source sample = Objective: Find a classifier h H with a low source risk R PS h). Domain Adaptation P T target domain: distribution over X Y ; D T marginal distribution over X T D T ) m a unlabeled target sample = Objective: Find a classifier h H with a low target risk R PT h). Supervised Classification Different Distribution P T Dom ain Adaptation Distribution P S Distribution P S Unlabeled Sample From D T Labeled Sample From P S Learning Model Labeled Sample From P S Learning Model Germain et al.
