The majority of existing Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) methods presumes source and target domain data to be simultaneously available during training. Such an assumption may not hold in practice, as source data is often inaccessible (e.g., due to privacy reasons). On the contrary, a pre-trained source model is always considered to be available, even though performing poorly on target due to the well-known domain shift problem. This translates into a significant amount of misclassifications, which can be interpreted as structured noise affecting the inferred target pseudo-labels. In this work, we cast UDA as a pseudo-label refinery problem in the challenging source-free scenario. We propose a unified method to tackle adaptive noise filtering and pseudo-label refinement. A novel Negative Ensemble Learning technique is devised to specifically address noise in pseudo-labels, by enhancing diversity in ensemble members with different stochastic (i) input augmentation and (ii) feedback. In particular, the latter is achieved by leveraging the novel concept of Disjoint Residual Labels, which allow diverse information to be fed to the different members. A single target model is eventually trained with the refined pseudo-labels, which leads to a robust performance on the target domain. Extensive experiments show that the proposed method, named Adaptive Pseudo-Label Refinement, achieves state-of-the-art performance on major UDA benchmarks, such as Digit5, PACS, Visda-C, and DomainNet, without using source data at all.
It is desirable to transfer the knowledge stored in a well-trained source model onto non-annotated target domain in the absence of source data. However, state-of-the-art methods for source free domain adaptation (SFDA) are subject to strict limits: 1
It is a strong prerequisite to access source data freely in many existing unsupervised domain adaptation approaches. However, source data is agnostic in many practical scenarios due to the constraints of expensive data transmission and data privacy p
Unsupervised domain adaptive (UDA) person re-identification (re-ID) is a challenging task due to the missing of labels for the target domain data. To handle this problem, some recent works adopt clustering algorithms to off-line generate pseudo label
Person Re-Identification (re-ID) aims at retrieving images of the same person taken by different cameras. A challenge for re-ID is the performance preservation when a model is used on data of interest (target data) which belong to a different domain
The problem of generalizing deep neural networks from multiple source domains to a target one is studied under two settings: When unlabeled target data is available, it is a multi-source unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) problem, otherwise a domai
