• Abstract: The prime challenge in unsupervised domain adaptation (DA) is to mitigate the domain shift between the source and target domains. Prior DA works show that pretext tasks could be used to mitigate this domain shift by learning domain invariant representations. However, in practice, we find that most existing pretext tasks are ineffective against other established techniques. Thus, we theoretically analyze how and when a subsidiary pretext task could be leveraged to assist the goal task of a given DA problem and develop objective subsidiary task suitability criteria. Based on this criteria, we devise a novel process of sticker intervention and cast sticker classification as a supervised subsidiary DA problem concurrent to the goal task unsupervised DA. Our approach not only improves goal task adaptation performance, but also facilitates privacy-oriented source-free DA i.e. without concurrent source-target access. Experiments on the standard Office-31, Office-Home, DomainNet, and VisDA benchmarks demonstrate our superiority for both single-source and multi-source source-free DA. Our approach also complements existing non-source-free works, achieving leading performance.

  We experimentally demonstrate that the unsupervised-trained visual-language models (VLMs) can significantly reduce the distribution discrepancy between source and target domains. A major challenge for directly deploying such models on downstream UDA tasks is prompt engineering. We propose a Prompt-based Distribution Alignment (PDA) method to incorporate the domain knowledge into prompt learning.

  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.

  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.

  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) aims to transfer knowledge learned from a labeled source domain to an unlabeled and unseen target domain. Access to the source domain data at the adaptation stage is often limited, due to data storage or privacy issues. We propose to adapt an off-the-shelf" segmentation model pre-trained in the source domain to the target domain.
