• Abstract: Transfer learning schemes based on deep networks which have been trained on huge image corpora offer state-of-the-art technologies in computer vision. Here, supervised and semi-supervised approaches constitute efficient technologies which work well with comparably small data sets. Yet, such applications are currently restricted to application domains where suitable deepnetwork models are readily available. In this contribution, we address an important application area in the domain of biotechnology, the automatic analysis of CHO-K1 suspension growth in microfluidic single-cell cultivation, where data characteristics are very dissimilar to existing domains and trained deep networks cannot easily be adapted by classical transfer learning. We propose a novel transfer learning scheme which expands a recently introduced Twin-VAE architecture, which is trained on realistic and synthetic data, and we modify its specialized training procedure to the transfer learning domain. In the specific domain, often only few to no labels exist and annotations are costly. We investigate a novel transfer learning strategy, which incorporates a simultaneous retraining on natural and synthetic data using an invariant shared representation as well as suitable target variables, while it learns to handle unseen data from a different microscopy tech nology. We show the superiority of the variation of our Twin-VAE architecture over the state-of-the-art transfer learning methodology in image processing as well as classical image processing technologies, which persists, even with strongly shortened training times and leads to satisfactory results in this domain. The source code is available at https://github.com/dstallmann/transfer_learning_twinvae, works cross-platform, is open-source and free (MIT licensed) software. We make the data sets available at https://pub.uni-bielefeld.de/record/2960030.

  We propose a domain transfer approach based on conditional invertible neural networks (cINNs) Our method inherently guarantees cycle consistency through its invertible architecture, and network training can efficiently be conducted with maximum likelihood.

  We propose a novel two-stage framework for improving domain adaptation techniques. In the first step, we progressively train a multi-scale neural network to perform an initial transfer between the source data to the target data. This new data has a reduced domain gap from the desired target domain, and the applied UDA approach further closes the gap.

  Domain adaptation (DA) tries to tackle the scenarios when the test data does not fully follow the same distribution of the training data. By learning from large-scale unlabeled samples, self-supervised learning has now become a new trend in deep learning.

  Object recognition is a key enabler across industry and defense. Unfortunately, algorithms trained on existing labeled datasets do not directly generalize to new data because the data distributions do not match.
