Human activity recognition plays an important role in people's daily life. However, it is often expensive and time-consuming to acquire sufficient labeled activity data. To solve this problem, transfer learning leverages the labeled samples from the source domain to annotate the target domain which has few or none labe…
Partial domain adaptation aims to transfer knowledge from a label-rich source domain to a label-scarce target domain which relaxes the fully shared label space assumption across different domains. In this more general and practical scenario, a major challenge is how to select source instances in the shared classes acro…

Audio source separation is the process of separating a mixture (e.g. a pop band recording) into isolated sounds from individual sources (e.g. just the lead vocals). Deep learning models are the state-of-the-art in source separation, given that the mixture to be separated is similar to the mixtures the deep model was tr…
Paper proposes methods to localize sources in WSNs without knowing sensor parameters.
One crucial aspect of partial domain adaptation (PDA) is how to select the relevant source samples in the shared classes for knowledge transfer. Previous PDA methods tackle this problem by re-weighting the source samples based on their high-level information (deep features). However, since the domain shift between sour…
Automated sentiment classification (SC) on short text fragments has received increasing attention in recent years. Performing SC on unseen domains with few or no labeled samples can significantly affect the classification performance due to different expression of sentiment in source and target domain. In this study, w…

Recent advancements in language representation models such as BERT have led to a rapid improvement in numerous natural language processing tasks. However, language models usually consist of a few hundred million trainable parameters with embedding space distributed across multiple layers, thus making them challenging t…
Self-taught learning is a technique that uses a large number of unlabeled data as source samples to improve the task performance on target samples. Compared with other transfer learning techniques, self-taught learning can be applied to a broader set of scenarios due to the loose restrictions on the source data. Howeve…

The paper then proposes a fast greedy algorithm for solving this problem and draws connections to different problems that ca…
Data integration methods that analyze multiple sources of data simultaneously can often provide more holistic insights than can separate inquiries of each data source.

Optimal subset selection for hypothesis testing with penalties.
Collaborative filtering (CF) aims to predict users' ratings on items according to historical user-item preference data. In many real-world applications, preference data are usually sparse, which would make models overfit and fail to give accurate predictions. Recently, several research works show that by transferring k…
