• Abstract: Classification is an essential and fundamental task in machine learning, playing a cardinal role in the field of natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision (CV). In a supervised learning setting, labels are always needed for the classification task. Especially for deep neural models, a large amount of high-quality labeled data are required for training. However, when a new domain comes out, it is usually hard or expensive to acquire the labels. Transfer learning could be an option to transfer the knowledge from a source domain to a target domain. A challenge is that these two domains can be different, either on the feature distribution, or the class distribution for the nature of the samples. In this work, we evaluate some existing transfer learning approaches on detecting the bias of imbalanced classes including traditional and deep models. Besides, we propose an approach to bridge the gap of the domain class imbalance issue.

  Few-shot video action recognition is an effective approach to recognizing new categories with only a few labeled examples. Existing methods in video action recognition rely on large labeled datasets from the same domain. We propose a novel cross-domain few-shot video action recognition method that leverages self-supervised learning and curriculum learning.

  Domain adaptive semantic segmentation aims to learn a model with the supervision of source domain data, and produce dense predictions on unlabeled target domain. One popular solution to this challenging task is self-training, which selects high-scoring predictions on target samples as pseudo labels for training. We propose to directly explore the intrinsic pixel distributions of target domain data, instead of heavily relying on the source domain.

  Domain adaptation targets at knowledge acquisition and dissemination from a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain under distribution shift. Recent advances show that deep pre-trained models of large scale endow rich knowledge to tackle diverse downstream tasks of small scale. This paper introduces Partial Domain Adaptation (PDA), a learning paradigm that relaxes the identical class space assumption to that the source class space subsumes the target class space.

  Few-shot classification aims to carry out classification given only few labeled examples for the categories of interest.

By advancing meta-learning strategies, our learning framework exploits data across multiple source domains to capture domain-invariant features.

  We investigate domain adaptive semantic segmentation without source data, which assumes that the model is pre-trained on the source domain. We propose an effective framework for this challenging problem with two components: positive learning and negative learning. Our framework can be easily implemented and incorporated with other methods to further enhance the performance.

  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.

  Generalising deep networks to novel domains without manual labels is challenging to deep learning. Pre-learned knowledge does not transfer well without making strong assumptions about the learned and the novel domains. In this work, we aim to learn a discriminative latent space of the unlabelled target data in a novel domain by knowledge transfer from labelled related domains.

• Few-Shot Learning as Domain Adaptation: Algorithm and Analysis [120.75020271706978]
  Few-shot learning uses prior knowledge learned from the seen classes to recognize the unseen classes. This class-difference-caused distribution shift can be considered as a special case of domain shift. We propose a prototypical domain adaptation network with attention (DAPNA) to explicitly tackle such a domain shift problem in a meta-learning framework.
