Abstract

We derive a generalization bound for domain adaptation by using the properties of robust algorithms. Our new bound depends on λ-shift, a measure of prior knowledge regarding the similarity of source and target domain distributions. Based on the generalization bound, we design SVM variants for binary classification and regression domain adaptation algorithms.
