This research advances classical machine learning by leveraging optimal transport to address domain adaptation in linear regression under specific geometric transformations. By combining K-means with theoretical guarantees on $p$-norm costs, the authors demonstrate a method that outperforms baselines while maintaining interpretability without relying on deep neural networks. The work provides valuable insights for practitioners seeking robust model transfer strategies where target data is limited and source-target relationships are structurally defined.
Geometric Domain Adaptation via Optimal Transport for Linear Regression in R^2
arXiv:2606.14023v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Optimal Transport has become recently a powerful method for domain adaptation by aligning source and target distributions. We study a supervised domain adaptation problem where source and target domains are related by a rotation or a translation or a homothety in $\mathbb{R}^2$. We prove that the optimal transport map recovers the underlying map when using a $p-$norm cost with $p \geq 2$. Based on this insight, we develop a method combining $K-$means and optimal transport to estimate the underlying map, enabling adaptation of linear regression models when target data is scarce. Simulations demonstrate improved performance over baseline methods. Rather than relying on highly expressive deep learning architectures, we focus on classical machine learning models to emphasize interpretability and theoretical insight. This perspective allows us to explicitly characterize the role of optimal transport in recovering geometric transformations such as rotations, translations, and homotheties. Our contributions include a theoretical result linking optimal transport and rotations, translations and homothecies in $\mathbb{R}^2$, and a practical method for adaptation in linear regression offering both conceptual clarity and applied value in domain adaptation tasks in this space.
