In real-world applications, it is often expensive and time-consuming to obtain labeled examples. In such cases, knowledge transfer from related domains, where labels are abundant, could greatly reduce the need for extensive labeling efforts. In this scenario, transfer learning comes in hand. In this paper, we propose Deep Variational Transfer (DVT), a variational autoencoder that transfers knowledge across domains using a shared latent Gaussian mixture model. Thanks to the combination of a semi-supervised ELBO and parameters sharing across domains, we are able to simultaneously: (i) align all supervised examples of the same class into the same latent Gaussian Mixture component, independently from their domain; (ii) predict the class of unsupervised examples from different domains and use them to better model the occurring shifts. We perform tests on MNIST and USPS digits datasets, showing DVTs ability to perform transfer learning across heterogeneous datasets. Additionally, we present DVTs top classification performances on the MNIST semi-supervised learning challenge. We further validate DVT on a astronomical datasets. DVT achieves states-of-the-art classification performances, transferring knowledge across real stars surveys datasets, EROS, MACHO and HiTS, . In the worst performance, we double the achieved F1-score for rare classes. These experiments show DVTs ability to tackle all major challenges posed by transfer learning: different covariate distributions, different and highly imbalanced class distributions and different feature spaces.

In high-dimensional data space, semi-supervised feature learning based on Euclidean distance shows instability under a broad set of conditions. Furthermore, the scarcity and high cost of labels prompt us to explore new semi-supervised learning method
s with the fewest labels. In this paper, we develop a novel Minor Constraint Disturbances-based Deep Semi-supervised Feature Learning framework (MCD-DSFL) from the perspective of probability distribution for feature representation. There are two fundamental modules in the proposed framework: one is a Minor Constraint Disturbances-based restricted Boltzmann machine with Gaussian visible units (MCDGRBM) for modelling continuous data and the other is a Minor Constraint Disturbances-based restricted Boltzmann machine (MCDRBM) for modelling binary data. The Minor Constraint Disturbances (MCD) consist of less instance-level constraints which are produced by only two randomly selected labels from each class. The Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergences of the MCD are fused into the Contrastive Divergence (CD) learning for training the proposed MCDGRBM and MCDRBM models. Then, the probability distributions of hidden layer features are as similar as possible in the same class and they are as dissimilar as possible in the different classes simultaneously. Despite the weak influence of the MCD for our shallow models (MCDGRBM and MCDRBM), the proposed deep MCD-DSFL framework improves the representation capability significantly under its leverage effect. The semi-supervised strategy based on the KL divergence of the MCD significantly reduces the reliance on the labels and improves the stability of the semi-supervised feature learning in high-dimensional space simultaneously.
In many practical data mining scenarios, such as network intrusion detection, Twitter spam detection, and computer-aided diagnosis, a source domain that is different from but related to a target domain is very common. In addition, a large amount of u
nlabeled data is available in both source and target domains, but labeling each of them is difficult, expensive, time-consuming, and sometime unnecessary. Therefore, it is very important and worthwhile to fully explore the labeled and unlabeled data in source and target domains to settle the task in target domain. In this paper, a new semi-supervised inductive transfer learning framework, named Co-Transfer is proposed. Co-Transfer first generates three TrAdaBoost classifiers for transfer learning from the source domain to the target domain, and meanwhile another three TrAdaBoost classifiers are generated for transfer learning from the target domain to the source domain, using bootstraped samples from the original labeled data. In each round of co-transfer, each group of TrAdaBoost classifiers are refined using the carefully labeled data. Finally, the group of TrAdaBoost classifiers learned to transfer from the source domain to the target domain produce the final hypothesis. Experiments results illustrate Co-Transfer can effectively exploit and reuse the labeled and unlabeled data in source and target domains.
While neural networks for learning representation of multi-view data have been previously proposed as one of the state-of-the-art multi-view dimension reduction techniques, how to make the representation discriminative with only a small amount of lab
eled data is not well-studied. We introduce a semi-supervised neural network model, named Multi-view Discriminative Neural Network (MDNN), for multi-view problems. MDNN finds nonlinear view-specific mappings by projecting samples to a common feature space using multiple coupled deep networks. It is capable of leveraging both labeled and unlabeled data to project multi-view data so that samples from different classes are separated and those from the same class are clustered together. It also uses the inter-view correlation between views to exploit the available information in both the labeled and unlabeled data. Extensive experiments conducted on four datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for multi-view semi-supervised learning.
Some machine learning applications involve training data that is sensitive, such as the medical histories of patients in a clinical trial. A model may inadvertently and implicitly store some of its training data; careful analysis of the model may the
refore reveal sensitive information. To address this problem, we demonstrate a generally applicable approach to providing strong privacy guarantees for training data: Private Aggregation of Teacher Ensembles (PATE). The approach combines, in a black-box fashion, multiple models trained with disjoint datasets, such as records from different subsets of users. Because they rely directly on sensitive data, these models are not published, but instead used as teachers for a student model. The student learns to predict an output chosen by noisy voting among all of the teachers, and cannot directly access an individual teacher or the underlying data or parameters. The students privacy properties can be understood both intuitively (since no single teacher and thus no single dataset dictates the students training) and formally, in terms of differential privacy. These properties hold even if an adversary can not only query the student but also inspect its internal workings. Compared with previous work, the approach imposes only weak assumptions on how teachers are trained: it applies to any model, including non-convex models like DNNs. We achieve state-of-the-art privacy/utility trade-offs on MNIST and SVHN thanks to an improved privacy analysis and semi-supervised learning.
Transfer learning methods for reinforcement learning (RL) domains facilitate the acquisition of new skills using previously acquired knowledge. The vast majority of existing approaches assume that the agents have the same design, e.g. same shape and
action spaces. In this paper we address the problem of transferring previously acquired skills amongst morphologically different agents (MDAs). For instance, assuming that a bipedal agent has been trained to move forward, could this skill be transferred on to a one-leg hopper so as to make its training process for the same task more sample efficient? We frame this problem as one of subspace learning whereby we aim to infer latent factors representing the control mechanism that is common between MDAs. We propose a novel paired variational encoder-decoder model, PVED, that disentangles the control of MDAs into shared and agent-specific factors. The shared factors are then leveraged for skill transfer using RL. Theoretically, we derive a theorem indicating how the performance of PVED depends on the shared factors and agent morphologies. Experimentally, PVED has been extensively validated on four MuJoCo environments. We demonstrate its performance compared to a state-of-the-art approach and several ablation cases, visualize and interpret the hidden factors, and identify avenues for future improvements.
