• Abstract: While recent advancement of domain adaptation techniques is significant, most of methods only align a feature extractor and do not adapt a classifier to target domain, which would be a cause of performance degradation. We propose novel domain adaptation technique for object detection that aligns prediction output space. In addition to feature alignment, we aligned predictions of locations and class confidences of our vehicle detector for satellite images by adversarial training. The proposed method significantly improved AP score by over 5%, which shows effectivity of our method for object detection tasks in satellite images.

• Surprisingly Simple Semi-Supervised Domain Adaptation with Pretraining and Consistency [93.89773386634717]
  Visual domain adaptation involves learning to classify images from a target visual domain using labels available in a different source domain. We show that in the presence of a few target labels, simple techniques like self-supervision (via rotation prediction) and consistency regularization can be effective without any adversarial alignment to learn a good target classifier. Our Pretraining and Consistency (PAC) approach, can achieve state of the art accuracy on this semi-supervised domain adaptation task, surpassing multiple adversarial domain alignment methods, across multiple datasets.
