• Abstract: Current supervised cross-domain image retrieval methods can achieve excellent performance. However, the cost of data collection and labeling imposes an intractable barrier to practical deployment in real applications. In this paper, we investigate the unsupervised cross-domain image retrieval task, where class labels and pairing annotations are no longer a prerequisite for training. This is an extremely challenging task because there is no supervision for both in-domain feature representation learning and cross-domain alignment. We address both challenges by introducing: 1) a new cluster-wise contrastive learning mechanism to help extract class semantic-aware features, and 2) a novel distance-of-distance loss to effectively measure and minimize the domain discrepancy without any external supervision. Experiments on the Office-Home and DomainNet datasets consistently show the superior image retrieval accuracies of our framework over state-of-the-art approaches.

  Overfitting in reinforcement learning has become one of the main obstacles to applications in reinforcement learning. We propose prompt-based visual alignment (PVA) to mitigate the detrimental domain bias in the image for zero-shot policy transfer. We verify PVA on a vision-based autonomous driving task with CARLA simulator.

  Unsupervised domain adaptation in semantic segmentation has been raised to alleviate the reliance on expensive pixel-wise annotations. We propose DecoupleNet that alleviates source domain overfitting and enables the final model to focus more on the segmentation task. We also put forward Self-Discrimination (SD) and introduce an auxiliary classifier to learn more discriminative target domain features with pseudo labels.

  UDA attempts to provide efficient knowledge transfer from a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain.

We extend our method with self-training, where we use a memory-efficient temporal ensemble to generate consistent and reliable pseudo-labels.

• Unsupervised Semantic Segmentation by Contrasting Object Mask Proposals [78.12377360145078]
  We introduce a novel two-step framework that adopts a predetermined prior in a contrastive optimization objective to learn pixel embeddings. This marks a large deviation from existing works that relied on proxy tasks or end-to-end clustering. In particular, when fine-tuning the learned representations using just 1% of labeled examples on PASCAL, we outperform supervised ImageNet pre-training by 7.1% mIoU.
