A Tree-Adaptation Mechanism for Covariate and Concept Drift

Keywords: [ Deep Learning Theory ]
Although Machine Learning algorithms are solving tasks of ever-increasing complexity, gathering data and building training sets remains an error-prone, costly, and difficult problem. However, reusing knowledge from related previously-solved tasks enables reducing the amount of data required to learn a new task. We here propose a method for reusing a tree-based model learned in a source task with abundant data in a target task with scarce data. We perform an empirical evaluation showing that our method is useful, especially in scenarios where the labels are unavailable in the target task.
