The proposed Bayesian transfer learning method, “CONCERT,” enables robust partial information transfer for high-dimensional data analysis by introducing a conditional spike-and-slab prior in the joint distribution of target and source parameters. This one-step procedure achieves variable selection and information transfer simultaneously, outperforming existing cutting-edge transfer learning methods.

CONCERT is a new way to use information from other datasets when analyzing big data. It helps find the most important features or variables that are useful for making predictions. Unlike other methods that try to copy everything from the other dataset, CONCERT only takes what’s really helpful. This makes it more efficient and accurate.
