Knowledge transfer from related object categories is a key concept to allow learning with few training examples. We present how to use dependent Gaussian processes for transferring knowledge from a related category in a non-parametric Bayesian way. Our method is able to select this category automatically using efficient model selection techniques. We show how to optionally incorporate semantic similarities obtained from the hierarchical lexical database WordNet [1] into the selection process. The framework is applied to image categorization tasks using state-of-the-art image-based kernel functions. A large scale evaluation shows the benefits of our approach compared to independent learning and a SVM based approach.
