• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a method to adapt a pre-trained deep-learning-based model for underwater acoustic localization to a new environment. We use unsupervised domain adaptation to improve the generalization performance of the model, i.e., using an unsupervised loss, fine-tune the pre-trained network parameters without access to any labels of the target environment or any data used to pre-train the model. This method improves the pre-trained model prediction by coupling that with an almost independent estimation based on the received signal energy (that depends on the source). We show the effectiveness of this approach on Bellhop generated data in an environment similar to that of the SWellEx-96 experiment contaminated with real ocean noise from the KAM11 experiment.

Specifically, we develop a prototype-based base model and an optimal transport-guided adaptor. In cross-domain and cross-attack settings, compared with recent methods, our method achieves average relative improvements of 19.17% in HTER and 8.58% in AUC.

  Full-waveform inversion (FWI) is a method that utilizes seismic data to invert the physical parameters of subsurface media. Due to its ill-posed nature, FWI is susceptible to getting trapped in local minima. Various research efforts have attempted to combine neural networks with FWI to stabilize the inversion process.

  Source-Free Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (SFUDA) is a challenging task where a model needs to be adapted to a new domain without access to target domain labels or source domain data. This paper proposes a novel approach that considers multiple prediction hypotheses for each sample and investigates the rationale behind each hypothesis. To achieve the optimal performance, we propose a three-step adaptation process: model pre-adaptation, hypothesis consolidation, and semi-supervised learning.

  Denoising diffusion models have emerged as a dominant approach for image generation. They still suffer from slow convergence in training and color shift issues in sampling.

  We propose an approach for learning robust acoustic models in adverse environments, characterized by a significant mismatch between training and test conditions. Our approach is an instance of vicinal risk minimization, which aims to improve risk estimates during training by replacing the delta functions that define the empirical density over the input space with an approximation of the marginal population density in the vicinity of the training samples.
