Multi-Domain Learning (MDL) refers to the problem of learning a set of models derived from a common deep architecture, each one specialized to perform a task in a certain domain (e.g., photos, sketches, paintings). This paper tackles MDL with a particular interest in obtaining domain-specific models with an adjustable budget in terms of the number of network parameters and computational complexity. Our intuition is that, as in real applications the number of domains and tasks can be very large, an effective MDL approach should not only focus on accuracy but also on having as few parameters as possible. To implement this idea we derive specialized deep models for each domain by adapting a pre-trained architecture but, differently from other methods, we propose a novel strategy to automatically adjust the computational complexity of the network. To this aim, we introduce Budget-Aware Adapters that select the most relevant feature channels to better handle data from a novel domain. Some constraints on the number of active switches are imposed in order to obtain a network respecting the desired complexity budget. Experimentally, we show that our approach leads to recognition accuracy competitive with state-of-the-art approaches but with much lighter networks both in terms of storage and computation.

High-level representation-guided pixel denoising and adversarial training are independent solutions to enhance the robustness of CNNs against adversarial attacks by pre-processing input data and re-training models, respectively. Most recently, advers arial training techniques have been widely studied and improved while the pixel denoising-based method is getting less attractive. However, it is still questionable whether there exists a more advanced pixel denoising-based method and whether the combination of the two solutions benefits each other. To this end, we first comprehensively investigate two kinds of pixel denoising methods for adversarial robustness enhancement (i.e., existing additive-based and unexplored filtering-based methods) under the loss functions of image-level and semantic-level restorations, respectively, showing that pixel-wise filtering can obtain much higher image quality (e.g., higher PSNR) as well as higher robustness (e.g., higher accuracy on adversarial examples) than existing pixel-wise additive-based method. However, we also observe that the robustness results of the filtering-based method rely on the perturbation amplitude of adversarial examples used for training. To address this problem, we propose predictive perturbation-aware pixel-wise filtering, where dual-perturbation filtering and an uncertainty-aware fusion module are designed and employed to automatically perceive the perturbation amplitude during the training and testing process. The proposed method is termed as AdvFilter. Moreover, we combine adversarial pixel denoising methods with three adversarial training-based methods, hinting that considering data and models jointly is able to achieve more robust CNNs. The experiments conduct on NeurIPS-2017DEV, SVHN, and CIFAR10 datasets and show the advantages over enhancing CNNs robustness, high generalization to different models, and noise levels.
We consider a model-agnostic solution to the problem of Multi-Domain Learning (MDL) for multi-modal applications. Many existing MDL techniques are model-dependent solutions which explicitly require nontrivial architectural changes to construct domain -specific modules. Thus, properly applying these MDL techniques for new problems with well-established models, e.g. U-Net for semantic segmentation, may demand various low-level implementation efforts. In this paper, given emerging multi-modal data (e.g., various structural neuroimaging modalities), we aim to enable MDL purely algorithmically so that widely used neural networks can trivially achieve MDL in a model-independent manner. To this end, we consider a weighted loss function and extend it to an effective procedure by employing techniques from the recently active area of learning-to-learn (meta-learning). Specifically, we take inner-loop gradient steps to dynamically estimate posterior distributions over the hyperparameters of our loss function. Thus, our method is model-agnostic, requiring no additional model parameters and no network architecture changes; instead, only a few efficient algorithmic modifications are needed to improve performance in MDL. We demonstrate our solution to a fitting problem in medical imaging, specifically, in the automatic segmentation of white matter hyperintensity (WMH). We look at two neuroimaging modalities (T1-MR and FLAIR) with complementary information fitting for our problem.
Domain generalization aims to enhance the model robustness against domain shift without accessing the target domain. Since the available source domains for training are limited, recent approaches focus on generating samples of novel domains. Neverthe less, they either struggle with the optimization problem when synthesizing abundant domains or cause the distortion of class semantics. To these ends, we propose a novel domain generalization framework where feature statistics are utilized for stylizing original features to ones with novel domain properties. To preserve class information during stylization, we first decompose features into high and low frequency components. Afterward, we stylize the low frequency components with the novel domain styles sampled from the manipulated statistics, while preserving the shape cues in high frequency ones. As the final step, we re-merge both components to synthesize novel domain features. To enhance domain robustness, we utilize the stylized features to maintain the model consistency in terms of features as well as outputs. We achieve the feature consistency with the proposed domain-aware supervised contrastive loss, which ensures domain invariance while increasing class discriminability. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed feature stylization and the domain-aware contrastive loss. Through quantitative comparisons, we verify the lead of our method upon existing state-of-the-art methods on two benchmarks, PACS and Office-Home.
Most domain adaptation methods focus on single-source-single-target adaptation setting. Multi-target domain adaptation is a powerful extension in which a single classifier is learned for multiple unlabeled target domains. To build a multi-target clas sifier, it is crucial to effectively aggregate features from the labeled source and different unlabeled target domains. Towards this, recently introduced Domain-aware Curriculum Graph Co-Teaching (D-CGCT) exploits dual classifier head, one of which is based on the graph neural network. D-CGCT uses a sequential adaptation strategy that adapts one domain at a time starting from the target domains that are more similar to the source, assuming that the network finds it easier to adapt to such target domains. However, we argue that there is no easier domain or difficult domain in absolute sense and each domain can have samples showing different characteristics. Following this cue, we propose Reiterative D-CGCT (RD-CGCT) that obtains better adaptation performance by reiterating multiple times over each target domain, while keeping the total number of iterations as same. RD-CGCT further improves the adaptation performance by considering more source samples than training samples in the training minibatch. Proposed RD-CGCT significantly improves the performance over D-CGCT for Office-Home and Office31 datasets.
Recent works have demonstrated convolutional neural networks are vulnerable to adversarial examples, i.e., inputs to machine learning models that an attacker has intentionally designed to cause the models to make a mistake. To improve the adversarial robustness of neural networks, adversarial training has been proposed to train networks by injecting adversarial examples into the training data. However, adversarial training could overfit to a specific type of adversarial attack and also lead to standard accuracy drop on clean images. To this end, we propose a novel Class-Aware Domain Adaptation (CADA) method for adversarial defense without directly applying adversarial training. Specifically, we propose to learn domain-invariant features for adversarial examples and clean images via a domain discriminator. Furthermore, we introduce a class-aware component into the discriminator to increase the discriminative power of the network for adversarial examples. We evaluate our newly proposed approach using multiple benchmark datasets. The results demonstrate that our method can significantly improve the state-of-the-art of adversarial robustness for various attacks and maintain high performances on clean images.
