• Abstract: Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have brought revolutionary advances to many research areas due to their capacity of learning from raw data. However, when those methods are applied to non-controllable environments, many different factors can degrade the model's expected performance, such as unlabeled datasets with different levels of domain shift and category shift. Particularly, when both issues occur at the same time, we tackle this challenging setup as Open Set Domain Adaptation (OSDA) problem. In general, existing OSDA approaches focus their efforts only on aligning known classes or, if they already extract possible negative instances, use them as a new category learned with supervision during the course of training. We propose a novel way to improve OSDA approaches by extracting a high-confidence set of unknown instances and using it as a hard constraint to tighten the classification boundaries of OSDA methods. Especially, we adopt a new loss constraint evaluated in three different means, (1) directly with the pristine negative instances; (2) with randomly transformed negatives using data augmentation techniques; and (3) with synthetically generated negatives containing adversarial features. We assessed all approaches in an extensive set of experiments based on OVANet, where we could observe consistent improvements for two public benchmarks, the Office-31 and Office-Home datasets, yielding absolute gains of up to 1.3% for both Accuracy and H-Score on Office-31 and 5.8% for Accuracy and 4.7% for H-Score on Office-Home.

  Open Set Domain Adaptation (OSDA) aims to transfer knowledge from a well-labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain. The performance of OSDA methods degrades drastically under intra-domain class imbalance and inter-domain label shift. We propose Open-set Moving-threshold Estimation and Gradual Alignment (OMEGA) to alleviate the negative effects raised by label shift.

  Divide and Contrast (DaC) aims to connect the good ends of both worlds while bypassing their limitations. DaC divides the target data into source-like and target-specific samples, where either group of samples is treated with tailored goals. We further align the source-like domain with the target-specific samples using a memory bank-based Maximum Mean Discrepancy (MMD) loss to reduce the distribution mismatch.

  We consider unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) for classification problems in the presence of missing data in the unlabelled target domain. Imputation is performed in a domain-invariant latent space and leverages indirect supervision from a complete source domain. We show the benefits of jointly performing adaptation, classification and imputation on datasets.

  This paper proposes a novel approach for unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) with target shift. The proposed method, partially shared variational autoencoders (PS-VAEs), uses pair-wise feature alignment instead of feature distribution matching. PS-VAEs inter-convert domain of each sample by a CycleGAN-based architecture while preserving its label-related content.
