Bayesian Transfer

Bayesian transfer learning aims to improve the efficiency and accuracy of machine learning models by leveraging knowledge from related tasks or domains, effectively using prior information to guide learning on a new task. Current research focuses on developing efficient algorithms and model architectures, such as Bayesian neural networks and Gaussian processes, to effectively transfer knowledge while addressing challenges like negative transfer and optimal knowledge transfer amounts. This approach is proving valuable across diverse fields, from optimizing high-level synthesis in hardware design to accelerating computationally expensive simulations and improving the performance of large language models with limited data.
