A Transfer Learning Task is a learning task that requires inferences on a testing record to be made from a target domain (with a sample space) from a different underlying distribution than the source domain (of the training records).

    • Domain adaptation is a field associated with machine learning and transfer learning. This scenario arises when we aim at learning from a source data distribution a well performing model on a different (but related) target data distribution. For instance, one of the tasks of the common spam filtering problem consists in adapting a model from one user (the source distribution) to a new user who receives significantly different emails (the target distribution). Domain adaptation has also been shown to be beneficial for learning unrelated sources. Note that, when more than one source distribution is available the problem is referred to as multi-source domain adaptation.

    • Inductive transfer, or transfer learning, is a research problem in machine learning that focuses on storing knowledge gained while solving one problem and applying it to a different but related problem. [1] For example, the abilities acquired while learning to walk presumably apply when one learns to run, and knowledge gained while learning to recognize cars could apply when recognizing trucks. This area of research bears some relation to the long history of psychological literature on transfer of learning, although formal ties between the two fields are limited. Notably, scientists have developed algorithms for inductive transfer in Markov logic networks [2] and Bayesian networks. [3] Furthermore, researchers have applied techniques for transfer to problems in text classification, [4] [5] spam filtering, [6] and urban combat simulation. [7] [8] [9] There still exists much potential in this field while the "transfer" hasn't yet led to significant improvement in learning. Also, an intuitive understanding could be that "transfer means a learner can directly learn from other correlated learners". However, in this way, such a methodology in transfer learning, whose direction is illustrated by, [10] [11] is not a hot spot in the area yet.
