abstract = "Transfer learning aims to use knowledge acquired from
the source domain to improve the learning performance
in the target domain. It attracts increasing interests
and many transfer learning approaches have been
proposed. However, studies on transfer learning for
genetic programming for symbolic regression are still
rare, although clearly desired, due to the difficulty
to evolve models with a good cross-domain
generalisation ability. This work proposes a new
instance weighting framework for transfer learning in
genetic programming for symbolic regression. The key
idea is to use a local weight updating scheme to
identify and learn from more useful source domain
instances and reduce the effort on the source domain
instances, which are more different from the target
domain data. The experimental results show that the
proposed method notably enhances the learning capacity
and the generalisation performance of genetic
programming on the target domain and also outperforms
some state-of-the-art regression methods.",
