• Authors: Willi Menapace, St\'ephane Lathuili\`ere and Elisa Ricci
• Abstract summary: In this work we address the problem of transferring knowledge from a source to a target domain when both source and target data have no annotations. Inspired by recent works on deep clustering, our approach leverages information from data gathered from multiple source domains. We show that our method is able to automatically discover relevant semantic information even in presence of few target samples.

• Abstract: While unsupervised domain adaptation methods based on deep architectures have achieved remarkable success in many computer vision tasks, they rely on a strong assumption, i.e. labeled source data must be available. In this work we overcome this assumption and we address the problem of transferring knowledge from a source to a target domain when both source and target data have no annotations. Inspired by recent works on deep clustering, our approach leverages information from data gathered from multiple source domains to build a domain-agnostic clustering model which is then refined at inference time when target data become available. Specifically, at training time we propose to optimize a novel information-theoretic loss which, coupled with domain-alignment layers, ensures that our model learns to correctly discover semantic labels while discarding domain-specific features. Importantly, our architecture design ensures that at inference time the resulting source model can be effectively adapted to the target domain without having access to source data, thanks to feature alignment and self-supervision. We evaluate the proposed approach in a variety of settings, considering several domain adaptation benchmarks and we show that our method is able to automatically discover relevant semantic information even in presence of few target samples and yields state-of-the-art results on multiple domain adaptation benchmarks.

  Domain Adaptation aims to transfer the knowledge learned from a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain whose data distributions are different. Recently, Source-Free Domain Adaptation (SFDA) has drawn much attention, which tries to tackle domain adaptation problem without using source data. In this work, we propose a novel framework called SFDA-DE to address SFDA task via source Distribution Estimation.

  We propose an instance affinity based criterion for source to target transfer during adaptation, called ILA-DA. We first propose a reliable and efficient method to extract similar and dissimilar samples across source and target, and utilize a multi-sample contrastive loss to drive the domain alignment process. We verify the effectiveness of ILA-DA by observing consistent improvements in accuracy over popular domain adaptation approaches on a variety of benchmark datasets.

  Large-scale labeled training datasets have enabled deep neural networks to excel across a wide range of benchmark vision tasks. In many applications, it is prohibitively expensive and time-consuming to obtain large quantities of labeled data. To cope with limited labeled training data, many have attempted to directly apply models trained on a large-scale labeled source domain to another sparsely labeled or unlabeled target domain.

  We propose a novel semantic for domain adaptation, where we have much fewer annotated data in the target domain compared to the source domain. Our semantic benefits from a two-stage coarse-to-fine framework, thus can provide different and accurate treatments for the two stages. Experiments on a benchmark dataset show that our method consistently outperforms several popular domain adaptation strategies.

  We propose a novel domain adaptation approach, which can thoroughly explore the data distribution structure of target domain. We regard the samples within the same cluster in target domain as a whole rather than individuals and assigns pseudo-labels to the target cluster by class centroid matching. An efficient iterative optimization algorithm is designed to solve the objective function of our proposal with theoretical convergence guarantee.
