Reviews: Hypothesis Testing in Unsupervised Domain Adaptation with Applications in Alzheimer's Disease

Neural Information Processing Systems 

The paper presents an interesting and smart way of performing covariate shift by aiming to make the two distributions indistinguishable by minimizing MMD. The paper however could benefit of more clarity and completeness so it can make impact. In terms of the applicability of this approach, the authors talk about the importance of being able to perform statistical tests and not just optimize the performance of a classifier. The bounds that they derive for their statistical test is useful to know how big the sample size should be to perform an appropriate shift. However, this doesn't say much on how it affects the scientific questions asked in the experiment, which need different statistical test.
