This paper studies Semi-Supervised Domain Adaptation (SSDA), a practical yet under-investigated research topic that aims to learn a model of good performance using unlabeled samples and a few labeled samples in the target domain, with the help of labeled samples from a source domain. Several SSDA methods have been proposed recently, which however fail to fully exploit the value of the few labeled target samples. In this paper, we propose Enhanced Categorical Alignment and Consistency Learning (ECACL), a holistic SSDA framework that incorporates multiple mutually complementary domain alignment techniques. ECACL includes two categorical domain alignment techniques that achieve class-level alignment, a strong data augmentation based technique that enhances the models generalizability and a consistency learning based technique that forces the model to be robust with image perturbations. These techniques are applied on one or multiple of the three inputs (labeled source, unlabeled target, and labeled target) and align the domains from different perspectives. ECACL unifies them together and achieves fairly comprehensive domain alignments that are much better than the existing methods: For example, ECACL raises the state-of-the-art accuracy from 68.4 to 81.1 on VisDA2017 and from 45.5 to 53.4 on DomainNet for the 1-shot setting.

In semi-supervised domain adaptation, a few labeled samples per class in the target domain guide features of the remaining target samples to aggregate around them. However, the trained model cannot produce a highly discriminative feature representati on for the target domain because the training data is dominated by labeled samples from the source domain. This could lead to disconnection between the labeled and unlabeled target samples as well as misalignment between unlabeled target samples and the source domain. In this paper, we propose a novel approach called Cross-domain Adaptive Clustering to address this problem. To achieve both inter-domain and intra-domain adaptation, we first introduce an adversarial adaptive clustering loss to group features of unlabeled target data into clusters and perform cluster-wise feature alignment across the source and target domains. We further apply pseudo labeling to unlabeled samples in the target domain and retain pseudo-labels with high confidence. Pseudo labeling expands the number of ``labeled samples in each class in the target domain, and thus produces a more robust and powerful cluster core for each class to facilitate adversarial learning. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets, including DomainNet, Office-Home and Office, demonstrate that our proposed approach achieves the state-of-the-art performance in semi-supervised domain adaptation.
Current adversarial adaptation methods attempt to align the cross-domain features, whereas two challenges remain unsolved: 1) the conditional distribution mismatch and 2) the bias of the decision boundary towards the source domain. To solve these cha llenges, we propose a novel framework for semi-supervised domain adaptation by unifying the learning of opposite structures (UODA). UODA consists of a generator and two classifiers (i.e., the source-scattering classifier and the target-clustering classifier), which are trained for contradictory purposes. The target-clustering classifier attempts to cluster the target features to improve intra-class density and enlarge inter-class divergence. Meanwhile, the source-scattering classifier is designed to scatter the source features to enhance the decision boundarys smoothness. Through the alternation of source-feature expansion and target-feature clustering procedures, the target features are well-enclosed within the dilated boundary of the corresponding source features. This strategy can make the cross-domain features to be precisely aligned against the source bias simultaneously. Moreover, to overcome the model collapse through training, we progressively update the measurement of features distance and their representation via an adversarial training paradigm. Extensive experiments on the benchmarks of DomainNet and Office-home datasets demonstrate the superiority of our approach over the state-of-the-art methods.

Domain Adaptation has been widely used to deal with the distribution shift in vision, language, multimedia etc. Most domain adaptation methods learn domain-invariant features with data from both domains available. However, such a strategy might be in feasible in practice when source data are unavailable due to data-privacy concerns. To address this issue, we propose a novel adaptation method via hypothesis transfer without accessing source data at adaptation stage. In order to fully use the limited target data, a semi-supervised mutual enhancement method is proposed, in which entropy minimization and augmented label propagation are used iteratively to perform inter-domain and intra-domain alignments. Compared with state-of-the-art methods, the experimental results on three public datasets demonstrate that our method gets up to 19.9% improvements on semi-supervised adaptation tasks.

Present domain adaptation methods usually perform explicit representation alignment by simultaneously accessing the source data and target data. However, the source data are not always available due to the privacy preserving consideration or bandwidt h limitation. Source-free domain adaptation aims to solve the above problem by performing domain adaptation without accessing the source data. The adaptation paradigm is receiving more and more attention in recent years, and multiple works have been proposed for unsupervised source-free domain adaptation. However, without utilizing any supervised signal and source data at the adaptation stage, the optimization of the target model is unstable and fragile. To alleviate the problem, we focus on semi-supervised domain adaptation under source-free setting. More specifically, we propose uncertainty-guided Mixup to reduce the representations intra-domain discrepancy and perform inter-domain alignment without directly accessing the source data. Finally, we conduct extensive semi-supervised domain adaptation experiments on various datasets. Our method outperforms the recent semi-supervised baselines and the unsupervised variant also achieves competitive performance. The experiment codes will be released in the future.
Domain adaptation aims to generalize a model from a source domain to tackle tasks in a related but different target domain. Traditional domain adaptation algorithms assume that enough labeled data, which are treated as the prior knowledge are availab le in the source domain. However, these algorithms will be infeasible when only a few labeled data exist in the source domain, and thus the performance decreases significantly. To address this challenge, we propose a Domain-invariant Graph Learning (DGL) approach for domain adaptation with only a few labeled source samples. Firstly, DGL introduces the Nystrom method to construct a plastic graph that shares similar geometric property as the target domain. And then, DGL flexibly employs the Nystrom approximation error to measure the divergence between plastic graph and source graph to formalize the distribution mismatch from the geometric perspective. Through minimizing the approximation error, DGL learns a domain-invariant geometric graph to bridge source and target domains. Finally, we integrate the learned domain-invariant graph with the semi-supervised learning and further propose an adaptive semi-supervised model to handle the cross-domain problems. The results of extensive experiments on popular datasets verify the superiority of DGL, especially when only a few labeled source samples are available.
