New Transfer Learning Method Tackles Scarce Data in Differential Equations

Researchers have developed a novel instrumental transfer learning method to address the challenge of scarce data in learning solution operators for differential equations. This approach leverages abundant data from related source systems by accounting for unknown sparse differences in governing equations. Utilizing the resolvent identity and a whitened instrumental variable technique, the method constructs unbiased source estimating equations for the target operator. The proposed three-stage estimator includes a target-only ridge pilot, source-wise sparse calibration, and a projected refit to minimize calibration error, with an iterative recalibration scheme further refining accuracy. Theoretical bounds demonstrate when this transfer learning can match pooled all-source rates, and simulations along with an electronic band-pass filter application show significant improvements over existing methods.
