• Authors: Longxiang Tang, Kai Li, Chunming He, Yulun Zhang, Xiu Li
• Abstract summary: Source-free domain adaptation (SFDA) aims to adapt a well-trained source model to an unlabelled target domain without accessing the source dataset. Existing SFDA methods ONLY assess their adapted models on the target training set, neglecting the data from unseen but identically distributed testing sets. We propose a consistency regularization framework to develop a more generalizable SFDA method.

• Abstract: Source-free domain adaptation (SFDA) aims to adapt a well-trained source model to an unlabelled target domain without accessing the source dataset, making it applicable in a variety of real-world scenarios. Existing SFDA methods ONLY assess their adapted models on the target training set, neglecting the data from unseen but identically distributed testing sets. This oversight leads to overfitting issues and constrains the model's generalization ability. In this paper, we propose a consistency regularization framework to develop a more generalizable SFDA method, which simultaneously boosts model performance on both target training and testing datasets. Our method leverages soft pseudo-labels generated from weakly augmented images to supervise strongly augmented images, facilitating the model training process and enhancing the generalization ability of the adapted model. To leverage more potentially useful supervision, we present a sampling-based pseudo-label selection strategy, taking samples with severer domain shift into consideration. Moreover, global-oriented calibration methods are introduced to exploit global class distribution and feature cluster information, further improving the adaptation process. Extensive experiments demonstrate our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on several SFDA benchmarks, and exhibits robustness on unseen testing datasets.

  Domain Adaptation (DA) facilitates knowledge transfer from a source domain to a related target domain. This paper investigates a practical DA paradigm, namely Source data-Free Active Domain Adaptation (SFADA), where source data becomes inaccessible during adaptation. We present learn from the learnt (LFTL), a novel paradigm for SFADA to leverage the learnt knowledge from the source pretrained model and actively iterated models without extra overhead.

  Federated learning enables joint training of machine learning models from distributed clients without sharing their local data. One key challenge in federated learning is to handle non-identically distributed data across the clients. We propose a novel federated learning framework with projected trajectory regularization (FedPTR) for tackling the data issue.

  We teach the model to capture broader variations of the feature distributions with a novel noise-enhanced supervised autoencoder (NSAE) NSAE trains the model by jointly reconstructing inputs and predicting the labels of inputs as well as their reconstructed pairs. We also take advantage of NSAE structure and propose a two-step fine-tuning procedure that achieves better adaption and improves classification performance in the target domain.
