Reviews: Learning Bound for Parameter Transfer Learning

Neural Information Processing Systems 

The parameter transfer learning framework described in the paper is very interesting and deserves attention. The approach taken by the authors (describe in Section 2) is sound but lacks clarity. The notation is well chosen, but not always properly explained (see my "Specific comments" below). Also, as the transfer learning framework is very similar to domain adaptation, which is studied in many papers (as Ben-David et al. 2007 cited by the authors), it would be interesting to discuss the connection of Theorem 1 with existing domain adaptation results. Section 3 is difficult to follow for a reader not familiar with sparse coding (like myself).
