• Abstract: Multi-task Gaussian process (MTGP) is a well-known non-parametric Bayesian model for learning correlated tasks effectively by transferring knowledge across tasks. But current MTGP models are usually limited to the multi-task scenario defined in the same input domain, leaving no space for tackling the practical heterogeneous case, i.e., the features of input domains vary over tasks. To this end, this paper presents a novel heterogeneous stochastic variational linear model of coregionalization (HSVLMC) model for simultaneously learning the tasks with varied input domains. Particularly, we develop the stochastic variational framework with a Bayesian calibration method that (i) takes into account the effect of dimensionality reduction raised by domain mapping in order to achieve effective input alignment; and (ii) employs a residual modeling strategy to leverage the inductive bias brought by prior domain mappings for better model inference. Finally, the superiority of the proposed model against existing LMC models has been extensively verified on diverse heterogeneous multi-task cases.

• Regularized Multi-output Gaussian Convolution Process with Domain Adaptation [0.0]
  Multi-output Gaussian process (MGP) has been attracting increasing attention as a transfer learning method to model multiple outputs. Despite its high flexibility and generality, MGP still faces two critical challenges when applied to transfer learning. The first one is negative transfer, which occurs when there exists no shared information among the outputs. The second challenge is the input domain inconsistency, which is commonly studied in transfer learning yet not explored in MGP.

  Data-Free Meta-Learning (DFML) aims to derive knowledge from a collection of pre-trained models without accessing their original data. Current methods often overlook the heterogeneity among pre-trained models, which leads to performance degradation due to task conflicts. We propose Task Groupings Regularization, a novel approach that benefits from model heterogeneity by grouping and aligning conflicting tasks.

  We introduce an unsupervised auxiliary task of learning an implicit underlying surface representation simultaneously on source and target data. As both domains share the same latent representation, the model is forced to accommodate discrepancies between the two sources of data. Our experiments demonstrate that our method achieves a better performance than the current state of the art, both in real-to-real and synthetic-to-real scenarios.

  Multi-task regression attempts to exploit the task similarity in order to achieve knowledge transfer across related tasks for performance improvement. The linear model of coregionalization (LMC) is a well-known MTGP paradigm which exploits the dependency of tasks through linear combination of several independent and diverse GPs. We develop the neural embedding of coregionalization that transforms the latent GPs into a high-dimensional latent space to induce rich yet diverse behaviors.
