Abstract
According to an example embodiment, a method comprises executing instructions by a special purpose computing apparatus to, for labeled source domain data having a plurality of original labels, generate a plurality of first predicted labels for the labeled source domain data using a target function, the target function determined by using a plurality of labels from labeled target domain data. The method further comprises executing instructions by the special purpose computing apparatus to apply a label relation function to the first predicted labels for the source domain data and the original labels for the source domain data to determine a plurality of weighting factors for the labeled source domain data. The method further comprises executing instructions by the special purpose computing apparatus to generate a new target function using the labeled target domain data, the labeled source domain data, and the weighting factors for the labeled source domain data, and evaluate a performance of the new target function to determine if there is a convergence.
