    • we propose a domain adaptation method that parameterizes this concept space by linear transformation under which we explicitly minimize the distribution difference between the source domain with sufficient labeled data and target domains with only unlabeled data, while at the same time minimizing the empirical loss on the labeled data in the source domain.

    • … The motivation comes from a critical observation that both FSF and Boosting only work in a forward fashion (so is FSF named). They always take steps that reduce empirical loss the most regardless of the impact on model complexity (or the L1 penalty in the Lasso case).
