• Abstract summary: Source-free object detection (SFOD) aims to transfer a detector pre-trained on a label-rich source domain to an unlabeled target domain without seeing source data. We divide the target domain into source-similar and source-dissimilar parts and align them in the feature space by adversarial learning. Our proposed method consistently outperforms the compared SFOD methods.

• Abstract: Source-free object detection (SFOD) aims to transfer a detector pre-trained on a label-rich source domain to an unlabeled target domain without seeing source data. While most existing SFOD methods generate pseudo labels via a source-pretrained model to guide training, these pseudo labels usually contain high noises due to heavy domain discrepancy. In order to obtain better pseudo supervisions, we divide the target domain into source-similar and source-dissimilar parts and align them in the feature space by adversarial learning. Specifically, we design a detection variance-based criterion to divide the target domain. This criterion is motivated by a finding that larger detection variances denote higher recall and larger similarity to the source domain. Then we incorporate an adversarial module into a mean teacher framework to drive the feature spaces of these two subsets indistinguishable. Extensive experiments on multiple cross-domain object detection datasets demonstrate that our proposed method consistently outperforms the compared SFOD methods.

  Massive rumors usually appear along with breaking news or trending topics, seriously hindering the truth. Existing rumor detection methods are mostly focused on the same domain, and thus have poor performance in cross-domain scenarios. We propose an end-to-end instance-wise and prototype-wise contrastive learning model with a cross-attention mechanism for cross-domain rumor detection.

  Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) is an effective approach to tackle the issue of domain shift. UDA methods try to align the source and target representations to improve the generalization on the target domain. The Source-Free Adaptation Domain (SFDA) setting aims to alleviate these concerns by adapting a source-trained model for the target domain without requiring access to the source data.

  Domain shift is a well known problem where a model trained on a particular domain (source) does not perform well when exposed to samples from a different domain (target) In this work, we address the domain shift problem for the object detection task. Our approach relies on gradually removing the domain shift between the source and the target domains.

  Unversarial Domain adaptation (UDA) attempts to recognize the unlabeled target samples by building a learning model from a differently-distributed labeled source domain. In this paper, we propose a novel Adrial Dual Distincts Network (AD$2$CN) to align the source and target domain data distribution simultaneously with matching task-specific category boundaries. To be specific, a domain-invariant feature generator is exploited to embed the source and target data into a latent common space with the guidance of discriminative cross-domain alignment.
