• Abstract summary: Domain generalization (DG) aims to learn a model on one or more different but related source domains that could be generalized into an unseen target domain. Existing DG methods try to prompt the diversity of source domains for the model's generalization ability. This work applies the implicit semantic augmentation in feature space to capture the diversity of source domains.

• Abstract: Domain generalization (DG) aims to learn a model on one or more different but related source domains that could be generalized into an unseen target domain. Existing DG methods try to prompt the diversity of source domains for the model's generalization ability, while they may have to introduce auxiliary networks or striking computational costs. On the contrary, this work applies the implicit semantic augmentation in feature space to capture the diversity of source domains. Concretely, an additional loss function of distance metric learning (DML) is included to optimize the local geometry of data distribution. Besides, the logits from cross entropy loss with infinite augmentations is adopted as input features for the DML loss in lieu of the deep features. We also provide a theoretical analysis to show that the logits can approximate the distances defined on original features well. Further, we provide an in-depth analysis of the mechanism and rational behind our approach, which gives us a better understanding of why leverage logits in lieu of features can help domain generalization. The proposed DML loss with the implicit augmentation is incorporated into a recent DG method, that is, Fourier Augmented Co-Teacher framework (FACT). Meanwhile, our method also can be easily plugged into various DG methods. Extensive experiments on three benchmarks (Digits-DG, PACS and Office-Home) have demonstrated that the proposed method is able to achieve the state-of-the-art performance.

  A technique for tackling unsupervised domain adaptation involves mapping data points from both the source and target domains into a shared embedding space. We develop an additional technique which makes the internal distribution of the source domain more compact. We demonstrate that by increasing the margins between data representations for different classes in the embedding space, we can improve the model performance for UDA.

  Supervised approaches have led to great success with the advance of deep learning, but they rely on large quantities of ground-truth depth annotations. Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) transfers knowledge from labeled source data to unlabeled target data, so as to relax the constraint of supervised learning. We propose a novel UDA method for MDE, referred to as Learning Feature Decomposition for Adaptation (LFDA), which learns to decompose the feature space into content and style components.

By outperforming state-of-the-art methods on four benchmark UDA object detection tasks, our DDF method is demonstrated to be effective with wide applicability.

  Domain adaptation aims to generalize a model from a source domain to tackle tasks in a related but different target domain.

We propose a Domain-invariant Graph Learning (DGL) approach for domain adaptation with only a few labeled source samples.

• Discrepancy Minimization in Domain Generalization with Generative Nearest Neighbors [13.047289562445242]
  Domain generalization (DG) deals with the problem of domain shift where a machine learning model trained on multiple-source domains fail to generalize well on a target domain with different statistics. Multiple approaches have been proposed to solve the problem of domain generalization by learning domain invariant representations across the source domains that fail to guarantee generalization on the shifted target domain. We propose a Generative Nearest Neighbor based Discrepancy Minimization (GNNDM) method which provides a theoretical guarantee that is upper bounded by the error in the labeling process of the target.
