In knowledge adaptation, the source and target knowledge are transferred into the same mapping space by simultaneously reducing the difference between the marginal and conditional distributions; however, it is difficult to precisely balance the two distributions at each transformation. To address this problem, a novel multi-objective dynamic distribution adaptation (MODDA) with instance reweighting is proposed to reduce discrepancies between the two distributions. In addition, a customised non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II (NSGA2) optimisation method is presented for searching the optimal cumulative weight path, and four genetic operator combinations are compared to determine which one is optimal for MODDA. Moreover, kernel mean matching is proposed for the first time for dynamic compensation based on an individual's relevance in instance reweighting. The experimental results confirm that MODDA outperforms other state-of-the-art algorithms in terms of the classification accuracy for 16 well-known cross-domain tasks.(c) 2023 Elsevier B.V.
