Moment-Based Domain Adaptation: Learning Bounds and Algorithms

Abstract

This thesis contributes to the mathematical foundation of domain adaptation as emerging field in machine learning. In contrast to classical statistical learning, the framework of domain adaptation takes into account deviations between probability distributions in the training and application setting. Domain adaptation applies for a wider range of applications as future samples often follow a distribution that differs from the ones of the training samples. A decisive point is the generality of the assumptions about the similarity of the distributions. Therefore, in this thesis we study domain adaptation problems under as weak similarity assumptions as can be modelled by finitely many moments.
