Topic: Transfer Learning

 In classical machine learning, induced hypothesis are restricted to the same domain (feature space, distribution) as the training experience. In contrast, transfer learning addresses the challenge to learn in such a way, that the learning system can profit from learning experience in one domain in the context of another domain. Transfer learning is related to the cognitive science approaches on analogical reasoning where knowledge form a base domain is transferred to a target domain.

 In the reading club we will read, present, and discuss current papers on transfer learning an related areas.
