Mathematics of transfer learning and transfer risk: from medical to financial data analysis

Prof. Xin Guo
(University of California Berkeley)
Abstract

Transfer learning is an emerging and popular paradigm for utilizing existing knowledge from  previous learning tasks to improve the performance of new ones. In this talk, we will first present transfer learning in the early diagnosis of eye diseases: diabetic retinopathy and retinopathy of prematurity.  

We will discuss how this empirical  study leads to the mathematical analysis of the feasibility and transferability  issues in transfer learning. We show how a mathematical framework for the general procedure of transfer learning helps establish  the feasibility of transfer learning as well as  the analysis of the associated transfer risk, with applications to financial time series data.
