Recent works in domain adaptation always learn domain invariant features to mitigate the gap between the source and target domains by adversarial methods. The category information are not sufficiently used which causes the learned domain invariant features are not enough discriminative. We propose a new domain adaptation method based on prototype construction which likes capturing data cluster centers. Specifically, it consists of two parts: disentanglement and reconstruction. First, the domain specific features and domain invariant features are disentangled from the original features. At the same time, the domain prototypes and class prototypes of both domains are estimated. Then, a reconstructor is trained by reconstructing the original features from the disentangled domain invariant features and domain specific features. By this reconstructor, we can construct prototypes for the original features using class prototypes and domain prototypes correspondingly. In the end, the feature extraction network is forced to extract features close to these prototypes. Our contribution lies in the technical use of the reconstructor to obtain the original feature prototypes which helps to learn compact and discriminant features. As far as we know, this idea is proposed for the first time. Experiment results on several public datasets confirm the state-of-the-art performance of our method.

Domain adaptation aims to mitigate the domain gap when transferring knowledge from an existing labeled domain to a new domain. However, existing disentanglement-based methods do not fully consider separation between domain-invariant and domain-specif
ic features, which means the domain-invariant features are not discriminative. The reconstructed features are also not sufficiently used during training. In this paper, we propose a novel enhanced separable disentanglement (ESD) model. We first employ a disentangler to distill domain-invariant and domain-specific features. Then, we apply feature separation enhancement processes to minimize contamination between domain-invariant and domain-specific features. Finally, our model reconstructs complete feature vectors, which are used for further disentanglement during the training phase. Extensive experiments from three benchmark datasets outperform state-of-the-art methods, especially on challenging cross-domain tasks.
Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) aims to transfer knowledge learned from a fully-labeled source domain to a different unlabeled target domain. Most existing UDA methods learn domain-invariant feature representations by minimizing feature distance
s across domains. In this work, we build upon contrastive self-supervised learning to align features so as to reduce the domain discrepancy between training and testing sets. Exploring the same set of categories shared by both domains, we introduce a simple yet effective framework CDCL, for domain alignment. In particular, given an anchor image from one domain, we minimize its distances to cross-domain samples from the same class relative to those from different categories. Since target labels are unavailable, we use a clustering-based approach with carefully initialized centers to produce pseudo labels. In addition, we demonstrate that CDCL is a general framework and can be adapted to the data-free setting, where the source data are unavailable during training, with minimal modification. We conduct experiments on two widely used domain adaptation benchmarks, i.e., Office-31 and VisDA-2017, and demonstrate that CDCL achieves state-of-the-art performance on both datasets.
Unsupervised domain adaptation aims to train a model from the labeled source domain to make predictions on the unlabeled target domain when the data distribution of the two domains is different. As a result, it needs to reduce the data distribution d
ifference between the two domains to improve the models generalization ability. Existing methods tend to align the two domains directly at the domain-level, or perform class-level domain alignment based on deep feature. The former ignores the relationship between the various classes in the two domains, which may cause serious negative transfer, the latter alleviates it by introducing pseudo-labels of the target domain, but it does not consider the importance of performing class-level alignment on shallow feature representations. In this paper, we develop this work on the method of class-level alignment. The proposed method reduces the difference between two domains dramaticlly by aligning multi-level features. In the case that the two domains share the label space, the class-level alignment is implemented by introducing Multi-Level Feature Contrastive Networks (MLFCNet). In practice, since the categories of samples in target domain are unavailable, we iteratively use clustering algorithm to obtain the pseudo-labels, and then minimize Multi-Level Contrastive Discrepancy (MLCD) loss to achieve more accurate class-level alignment. Experiments on three real-world benchmarks ImageCLEF-DA, Office-31 and Office-Home demonstrate that MLFCNet compares favorably against the existing state-of-the-art domain adaptation methods.
Although achieving remarkable progress, it is very difficult to induce a supervised classifier without any labeled data. Unsupervised domain adaptation is able to overcome this challenge by transferring knowledge from a labeled source domain to an un
labeled target domain. Transferability and discriminability are two key criteria for characterizing the superiority of feature representations to enable successful domain adaptation. In this paper, a novel method called textit{learning TransFerable and Discriminative Features for unsupervised domain adaptation} (TFDF) is proposed to optimize these two objectives simultaneously. On the one hand, distribution alignment is performed to reduce domain discrepancy and learn more transferable representations. Instead of adopting textit{Maximum Mean Discrepancy} (MMD) which only captures the first-order statistical information to measure distribution discrepancy, we adopt a recently proposed statistic called textit{Maximum Mean and Covariance Discrepancy} (MMCD), which can not only capture the first-order statistical information but also capture the second-order statistical information in the reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). On the other hand, we propose to explore both local discriminative information via manifold regularization and global discriminative information via minimizing the proposed textit{class confusion} objective to learn more discriminative features, respectively. We integrate these two objectives into the textit{Structural Risk Minimization} (RSM) framework and learn a domain-invariant classifier. Comprehensive experiments are conducted on five real-world datasets and the results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Typical adversarial-training-based unsupervised domain adaptation methods are vulnerable when the source and target datasets are highly-complex or exhibit a large discrepancy between their data distributions. Recently, several Lipschitz-constraint-ba
sed methods have been explored. The satisfaction of Lipschitz continuity guarantees a remarkable performance on a target domain. However, they lack a mathematical analysis of why a Lipschitz constraint is beneficial to unsupervised domain adaptation and usually perform poorly on large-scale datasets. In this paper, we take the principle of utilizing a Lipschitz constraint further by discussing how it affects the error bound of unsupervised domain adaptation. A connection between them is built and an illustration of how Lipschitzness reduces the error bound is presented. A textbf{local smooth discrepancy} is defined to measure Lipschitzness of a target distribution in a pointwise way. When constructing a deep end-to-end model, to ensure the effectiveness and stability of unsupervised domain adaptation, three critical factors are considered in our proposed optimization strategy, i.e., the sample amount of a target domain, dimension and batchsize of samples. Experimental results demonstrate that our model performs well on several standard benchmarks. Our ablation study shows that the sample amount of a target domain, the dimension and batchsize of samples indeed greatly impact Lipschitz-constraint-based methods ability to handle large-scale datasets.
