• Authors: Shuai Wang, Daoan Zhang, Zipei Yan, Shitong Shao, Rui Li
• Abstract summary: Source-free domain adaptation aims to adapt deep neural networks using only pre-trained source models and target data. accessing the source model still has a potential concern about leaking the source data, which reveals the patient's privacy. We study the challenging but practical problem: black-box source-free domain adaptation where only the outputs of the source model and target data are available.

• Abstract: Source-free domain adaptation aims to adapt deep neural networks using only pre-trained source models and target data. However, accessing the source model still has a potential concern about leaking the source data, which reveals the patient's privacy. In this paper, we study the challenging but practical problem: black-box source-free domain adaptation where only the outputs of the source model and target data are available. We propose a simple but effective two-stage knowledge distillation method. In Stage \uppercase\expandafter{\romannumeral1}, we train the target model from scratch with soft pseudo-labels generated by the source model in a knowledge distillation manner. In Stage \uppercase\expandafter{\romannumeral2}, we initialize another model as the new student model to avoid the error accumulation caused by noisy pseudo-labels. We feed the images with weak augmentation to the teacher model to guide the learning of the student model. Our method is simple and flexible, and achieves surprising results on three cross-domain segmentation tasks.

  Recent data-privacy laws have sparked interest in machine unlearning. Challenge is to discard information about the forget'' data without altering knowledge about remaining dataset. We adopt a projected-gradient based learning method, named as Projected-Gradient Unlearning (PGU) We provide empirically evidence to demonstrate that our unlearning method can produce models that behave similar to models retrained from scratch across various metrics even when the training dataset is no longer accessible.

  We propose to copy black-box classification models without having access to the original training data, the architecture, and the weights of the model. We employ a novel active self-paced learning framework to make the most of the proxy data during distillation. Our empirical results on two data sets confirm the superiority of our framework over two state-of-the-art methods in the few-call model extraction scenario.

  We introduce Privacy Distillation, a framework that allows a text-to-image generative model to teach another model without exposing it to identifiable data. Our solution consists of (1) training a first diffusion model on real data (2) generating a synthetic dataset using this model and filtering it to exclude images with a re-identifiability risk (3) training a second diffusion model on the filtered synthetic data only.
