• Abstract summary: We propose a new framework to estimate model accuracy on unlabeled target data without access to source data. Our approach measures the disagreement rate between the source hypothesis and the target pseudo-labeling function. Our proposed source-free framework effectively addresses the challenging distribution shift scenarios and outperforms existing methods requiring source data and labels for training.

• Abstract: Deploying deep visual models can lead to performance drops due to the discrepancies between source and target distributions. Several approaches leverage labeled source data to estimate target domain accuracy, but accessing labeled source data is often prohibitively difficult due to data confidentiality or resource limitations on serving devices. Our work proposes a new framework to estimate model accuracy on unlabeled target data without access to source data. We investigate the feasibility of using pseudo-labels for accuracy estimation and evolve this idea into adopting recent advances in source-free domain adaptation algorithms. Our approach measures the disagreement rate between the source hypothesis and the target pseudo-labeling function, adapted from the source hypothesis. We mitigate the impact of erroneous pseudo-labels that may arise due to a high ideal joint hypothesis risk by employing adaptive adversarial perturbation on the input of the target model. Our proposed source-free framework effectively addresses the challenging distribution shift scenarios and outperforms existing methods requiring source data and labels for training.

  We propose a source-free approach centred on uncertainty-based estimation, using a generative model for calibration in the absence of source data. Our experiments on benchmark object recognition datasets reveal that existing source-based methods fall short with limited source sample availability. Our approach significantly outperforms the current state-of-the-art source-free and source-based methods, affirming its effectiveness in domain-invariant performance estimation.

  Domain adaptation typically requires to access source domain data to utilize their distribution information for domain alignment with the target data. In many real-world scenarios, the source data may not be accessible during the model adaptation in the target domain due to privacy issue. We present a novel denoised pseudo-labeling method for this problem, which effectively makes use of the source model and unlabeled target data.

  Unsupervised adaptation adaptation (UDA) aims to transfer knowledge from a related but different well-labeled source domain to a new unlabeled target domain. Most existing UDA methods require access to the source data, and thus are not applicable when the data are confidential and not shareable due to privacy concerns. This paper aims to tackle a realistic setting with only a classification model available trained over, instead of accessing to the source data.
