Review for NeurIPS paper: Transfer Learning via \ell_1 Regularization
–Neural Information Processing Systems
Though the original reviews were on the low side, after the discussion it was agreed that the paper should be primarily viewed as a *theory* paper, giving provable guarantees about a particular kind of transfer/concept drift in linear regression settings -- allowing *sparse* changes in features. On the other hand, it's also agreed that the paper *oversells* its impact in the introductory portions and the rhetoric should be somewhat toned down -- in particular, we ask the authors to point out that the main contribution is an algorithm with *theoretical guarantees* that isn't being proposed (at least as of the writing of the paper) as a competitive method with existing heuristics/algorithms.
