• Title: Unsupervised Domain Adaptation Using Compact Internal Representations
• Authors: Mohammad Rostami
• Abstract summary: A technique for tackling unsupervised domain adaptation involves mapping data points from both the source and target domains into a shared embedding space. We develop an additional technique which makes the internal distribution of the source domain more compact. We demonstrate that by increasing the margins between data representations for different classes in the embedding space, we can improve the model performance for UDA.

• Abstract: A major technique for tackling unsupervised domain adaptation involves mapping data points from both the source and target domains into a shared embedding space. The mapping encoder to the embedding space is trained such that the embedding space becomes domain agnostic, allowing a classifier trained on the source domain to generalize well on the target domain. To further enhance the performance of unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA), we develop an additional technique which makes the internal distribution of the source domain more compact, thereby improving the model's ability to generalize in the target domain.We demonstrate that by increasing the margins between data representations for different classes in the embedding space, we can improve the model performance for UDA. To make the internal representation more compact, we estimate the internally learned multi-modal distribution of the source domain as Gaussian mixture model (GMM). Utilizing the estimated GMM, we enhance the separation between different classes in the source domain, thereby mitigating the effects of domain shift. We offer theoretical analysis to support outperofrmance of our method. To evaluate the effectiveness of our approach, we conduct experiments on widely used UDA benchmark UDA datasets. The results indicate that our method enhances model generalizability and outperforms existing techniques.

  Single domain generalization aims to learn a model from a single training domain (source domain) and apply it to multiple unseen test domains (target domains) Existing methods focus on expanding the distribution of the training domain to cover the target domains, but without estimating the domain shift between the source and target domains. We propose a new learning paradigm, namely simulate-analyze-reduce, which first simulates the domain shift by building an auxiliary domain as the target domain, then learns to analyze the causes of domain shift, and finally learns to reduce the domain shift for model adaptation.

  Domain generalization (DG) aims to learn a model on one or more different but related source domains that could be generalized into an unseen target domain. Existing DG methods try to prompt the diversity of source domains for the model's generalization ability.

  We propose a principled meta-learning based approach to OCDA for semantic segmentation. We cluster target domain into multiple sub-target domains by image styles, extracted in an unsupervised manner. A meta-learner is thereafter deployed to learn to fuse sub-target domain-specific predictions, conditioned upon the style code. We learn to online update the model by model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML) algorithm, thus to further improve generalization.
