Model transfer with limit to none label information
I have this problem I hope to get some help here.
Say I have a type of product A whose measurements are X_A
and an outcome property is y_A
. y_A
is a continuous variable. Then I can have a predictive model out of it using X_A
, y_A
.
Now I have a product B. It's similar to product A but not exactly the same, like an orange to a grapefruit. For product B, I have plenty of X_B
measurements, but very limit to none y_B
outcomes. Here X_A
and X_B
are from two different distributions, so are y_A
and y_B
.
I want to pick your brains on what methods I can use to transfer the model I obtained from product A and make it suitable to product B, meaning have ok-to-good performance in predicting y_B
.
In experiment stage, there are plenty of y_B
to verify the goodness of transferred model. But in reality the number of known y_B
is few to none.
I am looking for suggestions other than supervised transfer deep learning, since the limited known y_B
really will be few, like 10-20. And there won't be much variance in these observed X_B
, y_B
pairs.
Thank you in advance!
