• Abstract summary: In zero-shot learning (ZSL), the samples to be classified are usually projected into side information templates such as attributes. We propose a novel framework called Discriminative Anchor Generation and Distribution Alignment Model (DAGDA) Firstly, in order to rectify the distribution of original templates, a diffusion based graph convolutional network, which can explicitly model the interaction between class and side information, is proposed to produce discriminative anchors. Secondly, to further align the samples with the corresponding anchors in anchor space, which aims to refine the distribution in a fine-grained manner, we introduce a semantic relation regularization

• Abstract: In zero-shot learning (ZSL), the samples to be classified are usually projected into side information templates such as attributes. However, the irregular distribution of templates makes classification results confused. To alleviate this issue, we propose a novel framework called Discriminative Anchor Generation and Distribution Alignment Model (DAGDA). Firstly, in order to rectify the distribution of original templates, a diffusion based graph convolutional network, which can explicitly model the interaction between class and side information, is proposed to produce discriminative anchors. Secondly, to further align the samples with the corresponding anchors in anchor space, which aims to refine the distribution in a fine-grained manner, we introduce a semantic relation regularization in anchor space. Following the way of inductive learning, our approach outperforms some existing state-of-the-art methods, on several benchmark datasets, for both conventional as well as generalized ZSL setting. Meanwhile, the ablation experiments strongly demonstrate the effectiveness of each component.

DaC divides the target data into source-like and target-specific samples, where either group of samples is treated with tailored goals. We further align the source-like domain with the target-specific samples using a memory bank-based Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) loss to reduce the distribution mismatch.

  This paper proposes a pixel-level distribution regularization scheme (DRSL) for self-supervised domain adaptation of semantic segmentation. In a typical setting, the classification loss forces the semantic segmentation model to greedily learn the representations that capture inter-class variations. We capture pixel-level intra-class variations through class-aware multi-modal distribution learning.
