• Abstract: While fully-supervised deep learning yields good models for urban scene semantic segmentation, these models struggle to generalize to new environments with different lighting or weather conditions for instance. In addition, producing the extensive pixel-level annotations that the task requires comes at a great cost. Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) is one approach that tries to address these issues in order to make such systems more scalable. In particular, self-supervised learning (SSL) has recently become an effective strategy for UDA in semantic segmentation. At the core of such methods lies `pseudo-labeling', that is, the practice of assigning high-confident class predictions as pseudo-labels, subsequently used as true labels, for target data. To collect pseudo-labels, previous works often rely on the highest softmax score, which we here argue as an unfavorable confidence measurement. In this work, we propose Entropy-guided Self-supervised Learning (ESL), leveraging entropy as the confidence indicator for producing more accurate pseudo-labels. On different UDA benchmarks, ESL consistently outperforms strong SSL baselines and achieves state-of-the-art results.

  Self-supervised learning systems use clustering-based pseudo-labels to provide supervision without the need for human annotations. The noise in these pseudo-labels caused by the clustering methods poses a challenge to the learning process leading to degraded performance. We propose a pseudo-label refinement algorithm to address this issue.

  We propose a novel co-training method that assigns weights based on the training dynamics of the classifiers to the distantly supervised labels. By assigning importance weights instead of filtering out examples based on an arbitrary threshold on the predicted confidence, we maximize the usage of automatically labeled data. The proposed method obtains an improvement of 1.5% in Macro F1 over the distant supervision baseline, and substantial improvements over several other strong SSL baselines.

  unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) is developed to introduce the knowledge in the labeled source domain to the unlabeled target domain. Recently, deep self-training presents a powerful means for UDA, involving an iterative process of predicting the target domain. We resort to the energy-based model and constrain the training of the unlabeled target sample with an energy function minimization objective.

  Pseudo-labeling (PL) is a general SSL approach that does not have this constraint but performs relatively poorly in its original formulation. We argue that PL underperforms due to the erroneous high confidence predictions from poorly calibrated models. We propose an uncertainty-aware pseudo-label selection (UPS) framework which improves pseudo labeling accuracy by drastically reducing the amount of noise encountered in the training process.
