• Abstract: As a vital problem in pattern analysis and machine intelligence, Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) studies how to transfer an effective feature learner from a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain. Plenty of methods based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have achieved promising results in the past decades. Inspired by the success of Transformers, some methods attempt to tackle UDA problem by adopting pure transformer architectures, and interpret the models by applying the long-range dependency strategy at image patch-level. However, the algorithmic complexity is high and the interpretability seems weak. In this paper, we propose the Domain-Transformer (DoT) for UDA, which integrates the CNN-backbones and the core attention mechanism of Transformers from a new perspective. Specifically, a plug-and-play domain-level attention mechanism is proposed to learn the sample correspondence between domains. This is significantly different from existing methods which only capture the local interactions among image patches. Instead of explicitly modeling the distribution discrepancy from either domain-level or class-level, DoT learns transferable features by achieving the local semantic consistency across domains, where the domain-level attention and manifold regularization are explored. Then, DoT is free of pseudo-labels and explicit domain discrepancy optimization. Theoretically, DoT is connected with the optimal transportation algorithm and statistical learning theory. The connection provides a new insight to understand the core component of Transformers. Extensive experiments on several benchmark datasets validate the effectiveness of DoT.

  Domain gap can cause discrepancies in self-attention. Due to this gap, the transformer attends to spurious regions or pixels, which deteriorates accuracy on the target domain. We propose adaptation on attention maps with cross-domain attention layers.

  Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) aims to transfer knowledge learned from a labeled source domain to a different unlabeled target domain. One fundamental problem for the category level based UDA is the production of pseudo labels for samples in target domain. We design a two-way center-aware labeling algorithm to produce pseudo labels for target samples. Along with the pseudo labels, a weight-sharing triple-branch transformer framework is proposed to apply self-attention and cross-attention for source/target feature learning and source-target domain alignment.
