• Abstract summary: Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (DA) consists of adapting a model trained on a labeled source domain to perform well on an unlabeled target domain with some data distribution shift. We propose a framework to evaluate DA methods and present a fair evaluation of existing shallow algorithms, including reweighting, mapping, and subspace alignment. Our benchmark highlights the importance of realistic validation and provides practical guidance for real-life applications.

• Abstract: Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (DA) consists of adapting a model trained on a labeled source domain to perform well on an unlabeled target domain with some data distribution shift. While many methods have been proposed in the literature, fair and realistic evaluation remains an open question, particularly due to methodological difficulties in selecting hyperparameters in the unsupervised setting. With SKADA-Bench, we propose a framework to evaluate DA methods and present a fair evaluation of existing shallow algorithms, including reweighting, mapping, and subspace alignment. Realistic hyperparameter selection is performed with nested cross-validation and various unsupervised model selection scores, on both simulated datasets with controlled shifts and real-world datasets across diverse modalities, such as images, text, biomedical, and tabular data with specific feature extraction. Our benchmark highlights the importance of realistic validation and provides practical guidance for real-life applications, with key insights into the choice and impact of model selection approaches. SKADA-Bench is open-source, reproducible, and can be easily extended with novel DA methods, datasets, and model selection criteria without requiring re-evaluating competitors. SKADA-Bench is available on GitHub at https://github.com/scikit-adaptation/skada-bench.

  This paper presents an optimal strategy for streaming contexts with limited labeled data, introducing an adaptive technique for unsupervised regression. The proposed method leverages a sparse set of initial labels and introduces an innovative drift detection mechanism. To enhance adaptability, we integrate the ADWIN (ADaptive WINdowing) algorithm with error generalization based on Root Mean Square Error (RMSE)

  We propose to validate test-time adaptation methods using datasets for autonomous driving, namely CLAD-C and SHIFT. We observe that current test-time adaptation methods struggle to effectively handle varying degrees of domain shift. We enhance the well-established self-training framework by incorporating a small memory buffer to increase model stability.

  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.

  We present Divide-and-Adapt (DiaNA), a new ADA framework that partitions the target instances into four categories with stratified transferable properties. With a novel data subdivision protocol based on uncertainty and domainness, DiaNA can accurately recognize the most gainful samples. Thanks to the "divideand-adapt" spirit, DiaNA can handle data with large variations of domain gap.

Existing works on time series domain adaptation suffer from inconsistencies in evaluation schemes, datasets, and backbone neural network architectures. We develop a benchmarking evaluation suite (AdaTime) to systematically and fairly evaluate different domain adaptation methods on time series data.
