  报告摘要：The main challenge that sets transfer learning apart from traditional supervised learning is the distribution shift, reflected as the shift between the source and target models and that between the marginal covariate distributions. High-dimensional data introduces unique challenges, such as covariate shifts in the covariate correlation structure and model shifts across individual features in the model. In this work, we tackle model shifts in the presence of covariate shifts in the high-dimensional regression setting. Furthermore, to learn transferable information which may vary across features, we propose an adaptive transfer learning method that can detect and aggregate the feature-wise transferable structures. Non-asymptotic bound is provided for the estimation error of the target model, showing the robustness of the proposed method to high-dimensional covariate shifts.
