• Abstract summary: We introduce active sample selection to assist domain adaptation regarding the semantic segmentation task. With only a little workload to manually annotate these samples, the distortion of the target-domain distribution can be effectively alleviated. A powerful semi-supervised domain adaptation strategy is proposed to alleviate the long-tail distribution problem.

• Abstract: Unsupervised domain adaption has been widely adopted in tasks with scarce annotated data. Unfortunately, mapping the target-domain distribution to the source-domain unconditionally may distort the essential structural information of the target-domain data, leading to inferior performance. To address this issue, we firstly propose to introduce active sample selection to assist domain adaptation regarding the semantic segmentation task. By innovatively adopting multiple anchors instead of a single centroid, both source and target domains can be better characterized as multimodal distributions, in which way more complementary and informative samples are selected from the target domain. With only a little workload to manually annotate these active samples, the distortion of the target-domain distribution can be effectively alleviated, achieving a large performance gain. In addition, a powerful semi-supervised domain adaptation strategy is proposed to alleviate the long-tail distribution problem and further improve the segmentation performance. Extensive experiments are conducted on public datasets, and the results demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods by large margins and achieves similar performance to the fully-supervised upperbound, i.e., 71.4% mIoU on GTA5 and 71.8% mIoU on SYNTHIA. The effectiveness of each component is also verified by thorough ablation studies.

  Opinion target extraction (OTE) or aspect extraction (AE) is a fundamental task in opinion mining. Recent work focus on cross-domain OTE, which is typically encountered in real-world scenarios. We propose a new SSL approach that opts for selecting target samples whose model output from a domain-specific teacher and student network disagrees on the unlabelled target data.

  We propose an instance affinity based criterion for source to target transfer during adaptation, called ILA-DA. We first propose a reliable and efficient method to extract similar and dissimilar samples across source and target, and utilize a multi-sample contrastive loss to drive the domain alignment process. We verify the effectiveness of ILA-DA by observing consistent improvements in accuracy over popular domain adaptation approaches on a variety of benchmark datasets.

  A key challenge of this task is how to alleviate the data distribution discrepancy between the source and target domains. We propose Alleviating Semantic-level Shift (ASS), which can successfully promote the distribution consistency from both global and local views. We apply our ASS to two domain adaptation tasks, from GTA5 to Cityscapes and from Synthia to Cityscapes.
