researchers in computational intelligence have been developing transfer learning and transfer optimization techniques (TL&TO). TL refers to transfer of knowledge in machine learning techniques to improve performance under limited training data, whereas TO
refers to such transfer for accelerating convergence rates in the search for optimal solutions under some criteria. In the last two decades various TL techniques have been studied and their effectiveness has been demonstrated over a large set of problems.
This success has been followed with similar attempts in the area of TO, with a particular emphasis on population based bio-inspired optimization approaches. The main goal of this workshop is to provide a meeting place for PPSN participants who are interested
in research on bio-inspired TL&TO techniques. We aim to discuss current research on the development of such techniques and on their real-life applications. Finally, we expect to suggest future research directions for TL&TO.</span></div>
