الوصف: Transfer learning is a burgeoning concept in statistical machine learning that seeks to improve inference and/or predictive accuracy on a domain of interest by leveraging data from related domains. While the term "transfer learning" has garnered much recent interest, its foundational principles have existed for years under various guises. Prior literature reviews in computer science and electrical engineering have sought to bring these ideas into focus, primarily surveying general methodologies and works from these disciplines. This article highlights Bayesian approaches to transfer learning, which have received relatively limited attention despite their innate compatibility with the notion of drawing upon prior knowledge to guide new learning tasks. Our survey encompasses a wide range of Bayesian transfer learning frameworks applicable to a variety of practical settings. We discuss how these methods address the problem of finding the optimal information to transfer between domains, which is a central question in transfer learning. We illustrate the utility of Bayesian transfer learning methods via a simulation study where we compare performance against frequentist competitors.
