• Abstract summary: We propose a novel framework for domain adaptation in semantic segmentation with image-level weak labels in the target domain. We develop a weak-label classification module to enforce the network to attend to certain categories. In experiments, we show considerable improvements with respect to the existing state-of-the-arts in UDA and present a new benchmark in the WDA setting.

• Abstract: Learning semantic segmentation models requires a huge amount of pixel-wise labeling. However, labeled data may only be available abundantly in a domain different from the desired target domain, which only has minimal or no annotations. In this work, we propose a novel framework for domain adaptation in semantic segmentation with image-level weak labels in the target domain. The weak labels may be obtained based on a model prediction for unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA), or from a human annotator in a new weakly-supervised domain adaptation (WDA) paradigm for semantic segmentation. Using weak labels is both practical and useful, since (i) collecting image-level target annotations is comparably cheap in WDA and incurs no cost in UDA, and (ii) it opens the opportunity for category-wise domain alignment. Our framework uses weak labels to enable the interplay between feature alignment and pseudo-labeling, improving both in the process of domain adaptation. Specifically, we develop a weak-label classification module to enforce the network to attend to certain categories, and then use such training signals to guide the proposed category-wise alignment method. In experiments, we show considerable improvements with respect to the existing state-of-the-arts in UDA and present a new benchmark in the WDA setting.

• Inter-Domain Mixup for Semi-Supervised Domain Adaptation [108.40945109477886]
  Semi-supervised domain adaptation (SSDA) aims to bridge source and target domain distributions, with a small number of target labels available. Existing SSDA work fails to make full use of label information from both source and target domains for feature alignment across domains. This paper presents a novel SSDA approach, Inter-domain Mixup with Neighborhood Expansion (IDMNE), to tackle this issue.

  unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) focuses on the selection of good pseudo-labels as surrogates for the missing labels in the target data. source domain bias that deteriorates the pseudo-labels can still exist since the shared network of the source and target domains are typically used for the pseudo-label selections. We propose CA-UDA to improve the quality of the pseudo-labels and UDA results with optimal assignment, a pseudo-label refinement strategy and class-aware domain alignment.

  Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) becomes more and more popular in tackling real-world problems without ground truth of the target domain. In this paper, we focus on UDA for semantic segmentation task. We propose a style-independent content feature extraction mechanism to keep the style information of extracted features in the similar space. Secondly, to keep the balance of pseudo labels on each category, we propose a category-guided threshold mechanism to choose category-wise pseudo labels for self-supervised learning.
