Transfer Learning for Benign Overfitting in High-Dimensional Linear Regression

Neural Information Processing Systems 

Transfer learning is a key component of modern machine learning, enhancing the performance of target tasks by leveraging diverse data sources. Simultaneously, overparameterized models such as the minimum-$\ell_2$-norm interpolator (MNI) in high-dimensional linear regression have garnered significant attention for their remarkable generalization capabilities, a property known as *benign overfitting*. Despite their individual importance, the intersection of transfer learning and MNI remains largely unexplored.
