Inductive transfer

Introduction

Inductive transfer, or transfer learning, is the machine learning process of storing and applying knowledge gained from one problem or task to a different but related problem or task.[1] For example, learning to walk could be used in learning to run, or learning to recognize cars could be used in learning to recognize trucks.[2]

This terminology was developed in reference to machine learning, although the underlying idea of transfer of learning has been studied in cognitive psychology for more than a century.[3] The process is typically most effective in machine learning when learned knowledge is stored in relational or heirarchical structures.[3]

Algorithms have been developed to apply transfer learning in Markov logic networks[4] and Bayesian networks.[5] Applications that have been studied include text classification,[6][7] spam filtering,[8] and urban combat simulation.[9]
