• Authors: Fabrizio J. Piva, Gijs Dubbelman
• Abstract summary: We introduce an unsupervised domain adaption (UDA) strategy that combines multiple image translations, ensemble learning and self-supervised learning in one coherent approach. We focus on one of the standard tasks of UDA in which a semantic segmentation model is trained on labeled synthetic data together with unlabeled real-world data.

• Abstract: We introduce an unsupervised domain adaption (UDA) strategy that combines multiple image translations, ensemble learning and self-supervised learning in one coherent approach. We focus on one of the standard tasks of UDA in which a semantic segmentation model is trained on labeled synthetic data together with unlabeled real-world data, aiming to perform well on the latter. To exploit the advantage of using multiple image translations, we propose an ensemble learning approach, where three classifiers calculate their prediction by taking as input features of different image translations, making each classifier learn independently, with the purpose of combining their outputs by sparse Multinomial Logistic Regression. This regression layer known as meta-learner helps to reduce the bias during pseudo label generation when performing self-supervised learning and improves the generalizability of the model by taking into consideration the contribution of each classifier. We evaluate our method on the standard UDA benchmarks, i.e. adapting GTA V and Synthia to Cityscapes, and achieve state-of-the-art results in the mean intersection over union metric. Extensive ablation experiments are reported to highlight the advantageous properties of our proposed UDA strategy.

  We present a self-supervised method for embedding image features called BAM. We obtain rich representations and avoid feature collapse by minimizing a loss that matches these distributions to their globally balanced and entropy regularized version. We show competitive performance with leading methods on both semi-supervised and transfer-learning benchmarks.

  Source-free domain adaptation (SFDA) aims to adapt a well-trained source model to an unlabelled target domain without accessing the source dataset. Existing SFDA methods ONLY assess their adapted models on the target training set, neglecting the data from unseen but identically distributed testing sets. We propose a consistency regularization framework to develop a more generalizable SFDA method.

We propose unbiased Dense Contrastive Visual-Linguistic Pretraining to replace the region regression and classification with cross-modality region contrastive learning.

  This paper studies how much it can help address domain shifts if we further have a few target samples labeled. To explore the full potential of landmarks, we incorporate a prototypical alignment (PA) module which calculates a target prototype for each class from the landmarks. Specifically, we severely perturb the labeled images, making PA non-trivial to achieve and thus promoting model generalizability.
