In classification, the task of domain adaptation is to learn a classifier to classify target data using unlabeled data from the target domain and labeled data from a related, but not identical, source domain. Transfer classifier induction is a common domain adaptation approach that learns an adaptive classifier directly rather than first adapting the source data. However, most existing transfer classifier induction algorithms are gradient-based, so they can easily get stuck at local optima. Moreover, they usually generate only a single classifier which might fit the source data too well, which results in poor target accuracy. In this paper, we propose a population-based algorithm that can address the above two limitations. The proposed algorithm can re-initialize a population member to a promising region when the member is trapped at local optima. The population-based mechanism allows the proposed algorithm to output a set of classifiers which is more reliable than a single classifier. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm achieves significantly better target accuracy than four state-of-the-art and well-known domain adaptation algorithms on three real-world domain adaptation problems.
