• Abstract summary: We propose an unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) for category-level object pose estimation, called textbfUDA-COPE. Inspired by the recent multi-modal UDA techniques, the proposed method exploits a teacher-student self-supervised learning scheme to train a pose estimation network without using target domain labels.

• Abstract: Learning to estimate object pose often requires ground-truth (GT) labels, such as CAD model and absolute-scale object pose, which is expensive and laborious to obtain in the real world. To tackle this problem, we propose an unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) for category-level object pose estimation, called \textbf{UDA-COPE}. Inspired by the recent multi-modal UDA techniques, the proposed method exploits a teacher-student self-supervised learning scheme to train a pose estimation network without using target domain labels. We also introduce a bidirectional filtering method between predicted normalized object coordinate space (NOCS) map and observed point cloud, to not only make our teacher network more robust to the target domain but also to provide more reliable pseudo labels for the student network training. Extensive experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method both quantitatively and qualitatively. Notably, without leveraging target-domain GT labels, our proposed method achieves comparable or sometimes superior performance to existing methods that depend on the GT labels.

  weakly-supervised domain adaptation (WDA) is an underexplored yet practical task that only requires few labeling effort on the target domain. We propose a general weak labels guided self-training framework, WLST, designed for WDA on 3D object detection. Our method is able to generate more robust and consistent pseudo labels that would benefit the training process on the target domain.

  Mean-teacher self-training is a powerful paradigm in unsupervised domain adaptation for object detection, but it struggles with low-quality pseudo-labels. We propose Contrastive Mean Teacher (CMT) -- a unified, general-purpose framework with the two paradigms naturally integrated to maximize beneficial learning signals. CMT leads to new state-of-the-art target-domain performance: 51.9% mAP on Foggy Cityscapes, outperforming the previously best by 2.1% mAP.

  Opinion target extraction (OTE) or aspect extraction (AE) is a fundamental task in opinion mining. Recent work focus on cross-domain OTE, which is typically encountered in real-world scenarios. We propose a new SSL approach that opts for selecting target samples whose model output from a domain-specific teacher and student network disagrees on the unlabelled target data.

  Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) aims to adapt existing models of the source domain to a new target domain with only unlabeled data.

We propose an uncertainty-aware consistency regularization method for cross-domain semantic segmentation.
