• Abstract summary: Unsupervised domain adaptation is a promising avenue which transfers knowledge from a source domain to a target domain. We propose distance metric guided feature alignment (MetFA) to extract discriminative as well as domain-invariant features on both source and target domains. Our model integrates class distribution alignment to transfer semantic knowledge from a source domain to a target domain.

• Abstract: Learning deep neural networks that are generalizable across different domains remains a challenge due to the problem of domain shift. Unsupervised domain adaptation is a promising avenue which transfers knowledge from a source domain to a target domain without using any labels in the target domain. Contemporary techniques focus on extracting domain-invariant features using domain adversarial training. However, these techniques neglect to learn discriminative class boundaries in the latent representation space on a target domain and yield limited adaptation performance. To address this problem, we propose distance metric guided feature alignment (MetFA) to extract discriminative as well as domain-invariant features on both source and target domains. The proposed MetFA method explicitly and directly learns the latent representation without using domain adversarial training. Our model integrates class distribution alignment to transfer semantic knowledge from a source domain to a target domain. We evaluate the proposed method on fetal ultrasound datasets for cross-device image classification. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art and enables model generalization.

  We propose a novel domain adaptation method called cyclically disentangled feature translation network (CDFTN) CDFTN generates pseudo-labeled samples that possess: 1) source domain-invariant liveness features and 2) target domain-specific content features, which are disentangled through domain adversarial training. A robust classifier is trained based on the synthetic pseudo-labeled images under the supervision of source domain labels.

  Existing techniques to adapt semantic segmentation networks across the source and target domains within deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) do not consider an inter-class variation within the target domain itself or estimated category. We introduce a learnable clustering module, and a novel domain adaptation framework called cross-domain grouping and alignment. Our method consistently boosts the adaptation performance in semantic segmentation, outperforming the state-of-the-arts on various domain adaptation settings.

  Partial domain adaptation aims to adapt knowledge from a larger and more diverse source domain to a smaller target domain with less number of classes. Recent practice on domain adaptation manages to extract effective features by incorporating the pseudo labels for the target domain. It is essential to align target data with only a small set of source data.

  Domain generalization (DG) deals with the problem of domain shift where a machine learning model trained on multiple-source domains fail to generalize well on a target domain with different statistics. Multiple approaches have been proposed to solve the problem of domain generalization by learning domain invariant representations across the source domains that fail to guarantee generalization on the shifted target domain. We propose a Generative Nearest Neighbor based Discrepancy Minimization (GNNDM) method which provides a theoretical guarantee that is upper bounded by the error in the labeling process of the target.
