• Abstract: Unsupervised domain adaptation is critical to many real-world applications where label information is unavailable in the target domain. In general, without further assumptions, the joint distribution of the features and the label is not identifiable in the target domain. To address this issue, we rely on the property of minimal changes of causal mechanisms across domains to minimize unnecessary influences of distribution shifts. To encode this property, we first formulate the data-generating process using a latent variable model with two partitioned latent subspaces: invariant components whose distributions stay the same across domains and sparse changing components that vary across domains. We further constrain the domain shift to have a restrictive influence on the changing components. Under mild conditions, we show that the latent variables are partially identifiable, from which it follows that the joint distribution of data and labels in the target domain is also identifiable. Given the theoretical insights, we propose a practical domain adaptation framework called iMSDA. Extensive experimental results reveal that iMSDA outperforms state-of-the-art domain adaptation algorithms on benchmark datasets, demonstrating the effectiveness of our framework.

  Human pose estimation (HPE) has received increasing attention recently due to its wide application in motion analysis, virtual reality, healthcare, etc. It suffers from the lack of labeled diverse real-world datasets due to the time- and labor-intensive annotation. We introduce a novel framework that capitalizes on both representation aggregation and segregation for domain adaptive human pose estimation.

  Multi-source domain adaptation (MSDA) methods aim to transfer knowledge from multiple labeled source domains to an unlabeled target domain. Current methods require an adequate number of domains, monotonic transformation of latent variables, and invariant label distributions. We propose a subspace identification theory that guarantees the disentanglement of domain-invariant and domain-specific variables.

  A typical multi-source domain adaptation (MSDA) approach aims to transfer knowledge learned from a set of labeled source domains, to an unlabeled target domain. We propose a variational domain disentanglement (VDD) framework, which decomposes the domain representations and semantic features for each instance by encouraging dimension-wise independence.

  New operating conditions can result in a performance drop of fault diagnostics models due to the domain gap between the training and the testing data distributions. We propose a new framework based on a Wasserstein GAN for Partial and OpenSet&Partial domain adaptation. The main contribution is the controlled fault data generation that enables to generate unobserved fault types and severity levels in the target domain.
