“…Several machine learning problems fall in this category, probably the most popular are concept drift [Gama et al 2014], domain adaptation [Daume III and Marcu 2006] and transfer learning [Pan and Yang 2010;Weiss et al 2016]. All these problems share that the distribution used for training our model is different than the data the model will face later.…”

The task of quantification consists in providing an aggregate estimation (e.g. the class distribution in a classification problem) for unseen test sets, applying a model that is trained using a training set with a different data distribution. Several real-world applications demand this kind of methods that do not require predictions for individual examples and just focus on obtaining accurate estimates at an aggregate level. During the past few years, several quantification methods have been proposed from different perspectives and with different goals. This paper presents a unified review of the main approaches with the aim of serving as an introductory tutorial for newcomers in the field.

“…, OSELM requires a number of instances not less than the hidden neuron number before online training in 1 Θ to form an initialization set, which would greatly affect OSELM's learning capability. Since training instances in 1 Θ are not enough to form a proper initialization set, we turn to Ω for exploiting extra information.…”

“…If we can pick out these instances from the initialization set, the performance would be improved. Based on this idea, we propose OTELM which consists of three steps: Firstly, with the guidance of 1 N labeled instances in 1 Θ , a SSELM is performed on instances from 1 Θ Ω, which assume instances in Ω are unlabeled and would later be re-labeled after the model is trained. Secondly, pick out instances in Ω whose labels predicted by SSELM are not equal to their real labels.…”

“…Transfer learning [1] is quite attractive when there are not sufficient instances in the target domain for supervised learning while plenty of instances from a related but different domain (source domain) are available and can be used for improving the final performance. Previous works have investigated to build connections and transfer knowledge from the source to the target domain.…”

“…Transfer Learning has been employed in a number of domains containing multiple sources to allow data inference to unseen sources. For a more in-depth discussion of the wider field, [6] provides a recent, thorough survey. More specifically, BCI literature typically reports domain adaptation approaches [5], the most popular of which being Common Spatial Patterns [7].…”

Abstract.A new proof-of-concept method for optimising the performance of Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) while minimising the quantity of required training data is introduced. This is achieved by using an evolutionary approach to rearrange the distribution of training instances, prior to the construction of an Ensemble Learning Generic Information (ELGI) model. The training data from a population was optimised to emphasise generality of the models derived from it, prior to a re-combination with participant-specific data via the ELGI approach, and training of classifiers. Evidence is given to support the adoption of this approach in the more difficult BCI conditions: smaller training sets, and those suffering from temporal drift. This paper serves as a case study to lay the groundwork for further exploration of this approach.
