arXiv:2609. 11918v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generalization under distribution shift remains a core challenge in modern machine learning, yet existing learning bound theory is limited to narrow, idealized settings and is non-estimable from samples.

This paper introduces a method for adapting unlabeled‑unlabeled (UU) learning to distribution shifts by applying importance weighting. The approach estimates weights from UU data in both training and test distributions to minimize test risk, enabling handling of various learning scenarios—including PU and noisy‑label learning—without assuming specific shift types. Experiments on real‑world datasets confirm the method’s effectiveness.
