arXiv:2605.17212v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: A unified framework for learning under covariate shift is presented, in which a constrained density-ratio network approximates the Radon-Nikodym derivative $r^\star = dP/dQ$ and feeds an anytime PAC-Bayes generalization certificate. A change-of-measure identity decomposes the gap between target risk and importance-weighted source risk into a ratio-bias term governed by $\|r_\theta - r^\star\|_{L^2(Q)}$ and a generalization-gap term governed by the variability of the weighted loss. Normalization and moment-matching identities are enforced as h
