• Abstract: Unsupervised domain adaptation(UDA) and Source-free UDA(SFUDA) methods formulate the problem involving two domains: source and target. They typically employ a standard training approach that begins with models pre-trained on large-scale datasets e.g., ImageNet, while rarely discussing its effect. Recognizing this gap, we investigate the following research questions: (1) What is the correlation among ImageNet, the source, and the target domain? (2) How does pre-training on ImageNet influence the target risk? To answer the first question, we empirically observed an interesting Spontaneous Pulling (SP) Effect in fine-tuning where the discrepancies between any two of the three domains (ImageNet, Source, Target) decrease but at the cost of the impaired semantic structure of the pre-train domain. For the second question, we put forward a theory to explain SP and quantify that the target risk is bound by gradient disparities among the three domains. Our observations reveal a key limitation of existing methods: it hinders the adaptation performance if the semantic cluster structure of the pre-train dataset (i.e.ImageNet) is impaired. To address it, we incorporate ImageNet as the third domain and redefine the UDA/SFUDA as a three-player game. Specifically, inspired by the theory and empirical findings, we present a novel framework termed TriDA which additionally preserves the semantic structure of the pre-train dataset during fine-tuning. Experimental results demonstrate that it achieves state-of-the-art performance across various UDA and SFUDA benchmarks.

  LiDAR-based 3D Object Detection methods often do not generalize well to target domains outside the source (or training) data distribution. We introduce a novel unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) method, called CMDA, which leverages visual semantic cues from an image modality. We also introduce a self-training-based learning strategy, wherein a model is adversarially trained to generate domain-invariant features.

  We study a practical problem of Source-Free Domain Adaptation (SFDA), which eliminates the reliance on annotated source data. Current SFDA methods focus on extracting domain knowledge from the source-trained model but neglects the intrinsic structure of the target domain. We propose a new SFDA framework, called Region-to-Pixel Adaptation Network(RPANet), which learns the region-level and pixel-level discriminative representations through coarse-to-fine self-supervision.

We propose HRDA, a multi-resolution framework for UDA&DG, that combines the strengths of small high-resolution crops to preserve fine segmentation details and large low-resolution crops to capture long-range context dependencies with a learned scale attention.

  We introduce an unsupervised auxiliary task of learning an implicit underlying surface representation simultaneously on source and target data. As both domains share the same latent representation, the model is forced to accommodate discrepancies between the two sources of data. Our experiments demonstrate that our method achieves a better performance than the current state of the art, both in real-to-real and synthetic-to-real scenarios.
