In this study, we focus on the unsupervised domain adaptation problem where an approximate inference model is to be learned from a labeled data domain and expected to generalize well to an unlabeled data domain. The success of unsupervised domain adaptation largely relies on the cross-domain feature alignment. Previous work has attempted to directly align latent features by the classifier-induced discrepancies. Nevertheless, a common feature space cannot always be learned via this direct feature alignment especially when a large domain gap exists. To solve this problem, we introduce a Gaussian-guided latent alignment approach to align the latent feature distributions of the two domains under the guidance of the prior distribution. In such an indirect way, the distributions over the samples from the two domains will be constructed on a common feature space, i.e., the space of the prior, which promotes better feature alignment. To effectively align the target latent distribution with this prior distribution, we also propose a novel unpaired L1-distance by taking advantage of the formulation of the encoder-decoder. The extensive evaluations on nine benchmark datasets validate the superior knowledge transferability through outperforming state-of-the-art methods and the versatility of the proposed method by improving the existing work significantly.

Deep learning (DL) has been the primary approach used in various computer vision tasks due to its relevant results achieved on many tasks. However, on real-world scenarios with partially or no labeled data, DL methods are also prone to the well-known
domain shift problem. Multi-source unsupervised domain adaptation (MSDA) aims at learning a predictor for an unlabeled domain by assigning weak knowledge from a bag of source models. However, most works conduct domain adaptation leveraging only the extracted features and reducing their domain shift from the perspective of loss function designs. In this paper, we argue that it is not sufficient to handle domain shift only based on domain-level features, but it is also essential to align such information on the feature space. Unlike previous works, we focus on the network design and propose to embed Multi-Source version of DomaIn Alignment Layers (MS-DIAL) at different levels of the predictor. These layers are designed to match the feature distributions between different domains and can be easily applied to various MSDA methods. To show the robustness of our approach, we conducted an extensive experimental evaluation considering two challenging scenarios: digit recognition and object classification. The experimental results indicated that our approach can improve state-of-the-art MSDA methods, yielding relative gains of up to +30.64% on their classification accuracies.
Recently, considerable effort has been devoted to deep domain adaptation in computer vision and machine learning communities. However, most of existing work only concentrates on learning shared feature representation by minimizing the distribution di
screpancy across different domains. Due to the fact that all the domain alignment approaches can only reduce, but not remove the domain shift. Target domain samples distributed near the edge of the clusters, or far from their corresponding class centers are easily to be misclassified by the hyperplane learned from the source domain. To alleviate this issue, we propose to joint domain alignment and discriminative feature learning, which could benefit both domain alignment and final classification. Specifically, an instance-based discriminative feature learning method and a center-based discriminative feature learning method are proposed, both of which guarantee the domain invariant features with better intra-class compactness and inter-class separability. Extensive experiments show that learning the discriminative features in the shared feature space can significantly boost the performance of deep domain adaptation methods.
Learning deep neural networks that are generalizable across different domains remains a challenge due to the problem of domain shift. Unsupervised domain adaptation is a promising avenue which transfers knowledge from a source domain to a target doma
in without using any labels in the target domain. Contemporary techniques focus on extracting domain-invariant features using domain adversarial training. However, these techniques neglect to learn discriminative class boundaries in the latent representation space on a target domain and yield limited adaptation performance. To address this problem, we propose distance metric guided feature alignment (MetFA) to extract discriminative as well as domain-invariant features on both source and target domains. The proposed MetFA method explicitly and directly learns the latent representation without using domain adversarial training. Our model integrates class distribution alignment to transfer semantic knowledge from a source domain to a target domain. We evaluate the proposed method on fetal ultrasound datasets for cross-device image classification. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art and enables model generalization.
Unsupervised domain adaptive classification intends to improve theclassification performance on unlabeled target domain. To alleviate the adverse effect of domain shift, many approaches align the source and target domains in the feature space. Howeve
r, a feature is usually taken as a whole for alignment without explicitly making domain alignment proactively serve the classification task, leading to sub-optimal solution. What sub-feature should be aligned for better adaptation is under-explored. In this paper, we propose an effective Task-oriented Alignment (ToAlign) for unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA). We study what features should be aligned across domains and propose to make the domain alignment proactively serve classification by performing feature decomposition and alignment under the guidance of the prior knowledge induced from the classification taskitself. Particularly, we explicitly decompose a feature in the source domain intoa task-related/discriminative feature that should be aligned, and a task-irrelevant feature that should be avoided/ignored, based on the classification meta-knowledge. Extensive experimental results on various benchmarks (e.g., Office-Home, Visda-2017, and DomainNet) under different domain adaptation settings demonstrate theeffectiveness of ToAlign which helps achieve the state-of-the-art performance.
Previous feature alignment methods in Unsupervised domain adaptation(UDA) mostly only align global features without considering the mismatch between class-wise features. In this work, we propose a new coarse-to-fine feature alignment method using con
trastive learning called CFContra. It draws class-wise features closer than coarse feature alignment or class-wise feature alignment only, therefore improves the models performance to a great extent. We build it upon one of the most effective methods of UDA called entropy minimization to further improve performance. In particular, to prevent excessive memory occupation when applying contrastive loss in semantic segmentation, we devise a new way to build and update the memory bank. In this way, we make the algorithm more efficient and viable with limited memory. Extensive experiments show the effectiveness of our method and model trained on the GTA5 to Cityscapes dataset has boost mIOU by 3.5 compared to the MinEnt algorithm. Our code will be publicly available.
