• Abstract summary: We propose to explore a new method called cross-inferential networks (CIN) Our main idea is that, when we adapt the network model to predict the sample labels from encoded features, we use these prediction results to construct new training samples with derived labels. Our experimental results on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our proposed CIN approach can significantly improve the performance of source-free UDA.

• Abstract: One central challenge in source-free unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) is the lack of an effective approach to evaluate the prediction results of the adapted network model in the target domain. To address this challenge, we propose to explore a new method called cross-inferential networks (CIN). Our main idea is that, when we adapt the network model to predict the sample labels from encoded features, we use these prediction results to construct new training samples with derived labels to learn a new examiner network that performs a different but compatible task in the target domain. Specifically, in this work, the base network model is performing image classification while the examiner network is tasked to perform relative ordering of triplets of samples whose training labels are carefully constructed from the prediction results of the base network model. Two similarity measures, cross-network correlation matrix similarity and attention consistency, are then developed to provide important guidance for the UDA process. Our experimental results on benchmark datasets demonstrate that our proposed CIN approach can significantly improve the performance of source-free UDA.

  We design new training objective losses for cases when labeled target data behave as source samples or as real target samples. To support our approach, we consider a complementary method that mixes source and labeled target data, then applies the same adaptation process. We illustrate our findings through extensive experiments on the benchmarks GTA5, SYNTHIA, and Cityscapes.

  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.

  This paper proposes a self-ensembling generative adversarial network (SE-GAN) exploiting cross-domain data for semantic segmentation. In SE-GAN, a teacher network and a student network constitute a self-ensembling model for generating semantic segmentation maps, which together with a discriminator, forms a GAN. Despite its simplicity, we find SE-GAN can significantly boost the performance of adversarial training and enhance the stability of the model.

  Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) conduct image classification by activating dominant features that correlated with labels. We introduce a simple training, Self-Challenging Representation (RSC), that significantly improves the generalization of CNN to the out-of-domain data. RSC iteratively challenges the dominant features activated on the training data, and forces the network to activate remaining features that correlates with labels.

  We present a strategy for learning a calibrated predictive distribution over semantic maps, where the probability associated with each prediction reflects its ground truth correctness likelihood. We demonstrate the versatility and robustness of the approach by achieving state-of-the-art results on the multigrader LIDC dataset and on a modified Cityscapes dataset with injected ambiguities. We show that the core design can be adapted to other tasks requiring learning a calibrated predictive distribution by experimenting on a toy regression dataset.

  In the context of supervised statistical learning, it is typically assumed that the training set comes from the same distribution that draws the test samples. Here we take a different avenue and approach the problem from an incremental point of view, where the model is adapted to the new domain iteratively. Our results report a clear improvement with respect to the non-incremental case in several datasets, also outperforming other state-of-the-art domain adaptation algorithms.
