• Abstract summary: Conventional domain adaptation (DA) techniques aim to improve domain transferability by learning domain-invariant representations. The requirement of simultaneous access to labeled source and unlabeled target renders them unsuitable for the challenging source-free DA setting. We derive novel insights to show that a mixup between original and corresponding translated generic samples enhances the discriminability-transferability trade-off.

• Abstract: Conventional domain adaptation (DA) techniques aim to improve domain transferability by learning domain-invariant representations; while concurrently preserving the task-discriminability knowledge gathered from the labeled source data. However, the requirement of simultaneous access to labeled source and unlabeled target renders them unsuitable for the challenging source-free DA setting. The trivial solution of realizing an effective original to generic domain mapping improves transferability but degrades task discriminability. Upon analyzing the hurdles from both theoretical and empirical standpoints, we derive novel insights to show that a mixup between original and corresponding translated generic samples enhances the discriminability-transferability trade-off while duly respecting the privacy-oriented source-free setting. A simple but effective realization of the proposed insights on top of the existing source-free DA approaches yields state-of-the-art performance with faster convergence. Beyond single-source, we also outperform multi-source prior-arts across both classification and semantic segmentation benchmarks.

• Learning Unbiased Transferability for Domain Adaptation by Uncertainty Modeling [107.24387363079629]
  Domain adaptation aims to transfer knowledge from a labeled source domain to an unlabeled or a less labeled but related target domain. Due to the imbalance between the amount of annotated data in the source and target domains, only the target distribution is aligned to the source domain. We propose a non-intrusive Unbiased Transferability Estimation Plug-in (UTEP) by modeling the uncertainty of a discriminator in adversarial-based DA methods to optimize unbiased transfer.

  Domain Adaptation aims to transfer the knowledge learned from a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain whose data distributions are different. Recently, Source-Free Domain Adaptation (SFDA) has drawn much attention, which tries to tackle domain adaptation problem without using source data. In this work, we propose a novel framework called SFDA-DE to address SFDA task via source Distribution Estimation.

• Generalize then Adapt: Source-Free Domain Adaptive Semantic Segmentation [78.38321096371106]
  Prior arts assume concurrent access to both labeled source and unlabeled target, making them unsuitable for scenarios demanding source-free adaptation. In this work, we enable source-free DA by partitioning the task into two: a) source-only domain generalization and b) source-free target adaptation. We introduce a novel conditional prior-enforcing auto-encoder that discourages spatial irregularities, thereby enhancing the pseudo-label quality.

  Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) can tackle the challenge that convolutional neural network-based approaches for semantic segmentation heavily rely on the pixel-level annotated data. We propose a source-free domain adaptation framework for semantic segmentation, namely SFDA, in which only a well-trained source model and an unlabeled target domain dataset are available for adaptation.

  We propose a Towards Fair Knowledge Transfer framework to handle the fairness challenge in imbalanced cross-domain learning. Specifically, a novel cross-domain mixup generation is exploited to augment the minority source set with target information to enhance fairness. Our model significantly improves over 20% on two benchmarks in terms of the overall accuracy.

In the Deployment stage, the goal is to design a unified adaptation algorithm capable of operating across a wide range of category-gaps.
