• Abstract summary: We present Contrastive Neighborhood Alignment (CNA), a manifold learning approach to maintain the topology of learned features. The target model aims to mimic the local structure of the source representation space using a contrastive loss. CNA is illustrated in three scenarios: manifold learning, where the model maintains the local topology of the original data in a dimension-reduced space; model distillation, where a small student model is trained to mimic a larger teacher; and legacy model update, where an older model is replaced by a more powerful one.

• Abstract: We present Contrastive Neighborhood Alignment (CNA), a manifold learning approach to maintain the topology of learned features whereby data points that are mapped to nearby representations by the source (teacher) model are also mapped to neighbors by the target (student) model. The target model aims to mimic the local structure of the source representation space using a contrastive loss. CNA is an unsupervised learning algorithm that does not require ground-truth labels for the individual samples. CNA is illustrated in three scenarios: manifold learning, where the model maintains the local topology of the original data in a dimension-reduced space; model distillation, where a small student model is trained to mimic a larger teacher; and legacy model update, where an older model is replaced by a more powerful one. Experiments show that CNA is able to capture the manifold in a high-dimensional space and improves performance compared to the competing methods in their domains.

  Traditional 3D networks mainly focus on local geometric details and ignore the topological structure between local geometries. We propose a novel Priors Distillation (RPD) method to extract priors from the well-trained transformers on massive images. Experiments on the PointDA-10 and the Sim-to-Real datasets verify that the proposed method consistently achieves the state-of-the-art performance of UDA for point cloud classification.

  Divide and Contrast (DaC) aims to connect the good ends of both worlds while bypassing their limitations. DaC divides the target data into source-like and target-specific samples, where either group of samples is treated with tailored goals. We further align the source-like domain with the target-specific samples using a memory bank-based Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) loss to reduce the distribution mismatch.

  deep neural networks generally require plenty of labeled training data and are vulnerable to domain shifts between training and test data. We present a novel approach to geometric domain adaptation for image registration, adapting a model from a labeled source to an unlabeled target domain. Our method consistently improves on the baseline model by 50%/47% while even matching the accuracy of models trained on target data.

  Variational Deep Embedding achieves great success in various clustering tasks. VaDE suffers from two problems: 1) it is fragile to the input noise; 2) it ignores the locality information between the neighboring data points. We propose a joint learning framework that improves VaDE with a robust embedding discriminator and a local structure constraint.
