Transfer learning using the
scipy
solver invoked viafit_gpytorch_mll
is currently unstable because it seems we run into overfitting problems due to missing priors on the involvedIndexKernel
. Using the oldfit_gpytorch_mll_torch
routine mitigates this problem, probably because the MLL fitting does not fully converge, which effectively acts as regularization via early stopping. In a non-transfer-learning context, however, thescipy
solver produces generally better results.This PR thus implements a temporary workaround where the solver is chosen adaptively based on the presence of a
TaskParameter
.
