• Abstract: Person re-identification (Re-ID) has achieved great success in the supervised scenario. However, it is difficult to directly transfer the supervised model to arbitrary unseen domains due to the model overfitting to the seen source domains. In this paper, we aim to tackle the generalizable multi-source person Re-ID task (i.e., there are multiple available source domains, and the testing domain is unseen during training) from the data augmentation perspective, thus we put forward a novel method, termed MixNorm, which consists of domain-aware mix-normalization (DMN) and domain-ware center regularization (DCR). Different from the conventional data augmentation, the proposed domain-aware mix-normalization to enhance the diversity of features during training from the normalization view of the neural network, which can effectively alleviate the model overfitting to the source domains, so as to boost the generalization capability of the model in the unseen domain. To better learn the domain-invariant model, we further develop the domain-aware center regularization to better map the produced diverse features into the same space. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmark datasets validate the effectiveness of the proposed method and show that the proposed method can outperform the state-of-the-art methods. Besides, further analysis also reveals the superiority of the proposed method.

  We focus on multi-domain Neural Machine Translation, with the goal of developing efficient models which can handle data from various domains seen during training and are robust to domains unseen during training. We hypothesize that Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (SMoE) models are a good fit for this task, as they enable efficient model scaling. We conduct a series of experiments aimed at validating the utility of SMoE for the multi-domain scenario, and find that a straightforward width scaling of Transformer is a simpler and surprisingly more efficient approach in practice, and reaches the same performance level as SMoE.

  Active Domain Adaptation (ADA) aims to maximally boost model adaptation in a new target domain by actively selecting a limited number of target data to annotate. This setting neglects the more practical scenario where training data are collected from multiple sources. This motivates us to target a new and challenging setting of knowledge transfer that extends ADA from a single source domain to multiple source domains.
