This paper introduces the multiple domain‐invariant partial least squares (mdi‐PLS) method, which generalizes the recently introduced domain‐invariant partial least squares method (di‐PLS). In contrast to di‐PLS which solely allows transferring of knowledge from a single source to a single target domain, the proposed approach enables the incorporation of data from an arbitrary number of domains. Additionally, mdi‐PLS offers a high level of flexibility by accepting labeled (supervised) and unlabeled (unsupervised) data to cope with dataset shifts. We demonstrate the application of the mdi‐PLS method on a simulated and one real‐world dataset. Our results show a clear outperformance of both PLS and di‐PLS when data from multiple related domains are available for training multivariate calibration models underpinning the benefit of mdi‐PLS.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
