深度学习（DL）是各种计算机视觉任务中使用的主要方法，因为它在许多任务上取得了相关结果。但是，在具有部分或没有标记数据的实际情况下，DL方法也容易出现众所周知的域移位问题。多源无监督的域适应性（MSDA）旨在通过从一袋源模型中分配弱知识来学习未标记域的预测指标。但是，大多数作品进行域适应性仅利用提取的特征并从损失函数设计的角度降低其域的转移。在本文中，我们认为仅基于域级特征处理域移动不足，但是在功能空间上对此类信息进行对齐也是必不可少的。与以前的工作不同，我们专注于网络设计，并建议将多源版本的域对齐层（MS-DIAL）嵌入预测变量的不同级别。这些层旨在匹配不同域之间的特征分布，并且可以轻松地应用于各种MSDA方法。为了显示我们方法的鲁棒性，我们考虑了两个具有挑战性的情况：数字识别和对象分类，进行了广泛的实验评估。实验结果表明，我们的方法可以改善最新的MSDA方法，从而在其分类精度上获得 +30.64％的相对增长。

Top-performing deep architectures are trained on massive amounts of labeled data. In the absence of labeled data for a certain task, domain adaptation often provides an attractive option given that labeled data of similar nature but from a different domain (e.g. synthetic images) are available. Here, we propose a new approach to domain adaptation in deep architectures that can be trained on large amount of labeled data from the source domain and large amount of unlabeled data from the target domain (no labeled targetdomain data is necessary).As the training progresses, the approach promotes the emergence of "deep" features that are (i) discriminative for the main learning task on the source domain and (ii) invariant with respect to the shift between the domains. We show that this adaptation behaviour can be achieved in almost any feed-forward model by augmenting it with few standard layers and a simple new gradient reversal layer. The resulting augmented architecture can be trained using standard backpropagation.Overall, the approach can be implemented with little effort using any of the deep-learning packages. The method performs very well in a series of image classification experiments, achieving adaptation effect in the presence of big domain shifts and outperforming previous state-ofthe-art on Office datasets.

无监督域适应（UDA）旨在将知识从标记的源域传输到未标记的目标域。传统上，基于子空间的方法为此问题形成了一类重要的解决方案。尽管他们的数学优雅和易腐烂性，但这些方法通常被发现在产生具有复杂的现实世界数据集的领域不变的功能时无效。由于近期具有深度网络的代表学习的最新进展，本文重新访问了UDA的子空间对齐，提出了一种新的适应算法，始终如一地导致改进的泛化。与现有的基于对抗培训的DA方法相比，我们的方法隔离了特征学习和分配对准步骤，并利用主要辅助优化策略来有效地平衡域不契约的目标和模型保真度。在提供目标数据和计算要求的显着降低的同时，基于子空间的DA竞争性，有时甚至优于几种标准UDA基准测试的最先进的方法。此外，子空间对准导致本质上定期的模型，即使在具有挑战性的部分DA设置中，也表现出强大的泛化。最后，我们的UDA框架的设计本身支持对测试时间的新目标域的逐步适应，而无需从头开始重新检测模型。总之，由强大的特征学习者和有效的优化策略提供支持，我们将基于子空间的DA建立为可视识别的高效方法。

We introduce a new representation learning approach for domain adaptation, in which data at training and test time come from similar but different distributions. Our approach is directly inspired by the theory on domain adaptation suggesting that, for effective domain transfer to be achieved, predictions must be made based on features that cannot discriminate between the training (source) and test (target) domains.The approach implements this idea in the context of neural network architectures that are trained on labeled data from the source domain and unlabeled data from the target domain (no labeled target-domain data is necessary). As the training progresses, the approach promotes the emergence of features that are (i) discriminative for the main learning task on the source domain and (ii) indiscriminate with respect to the shift between the domains. We show that this adaptation behaviour can be achieved in almost any feed-forward model by augmenting it with few standard layers and a new gradient reversal layer. The resulting augmented architecture can be trained using standard backpropagation and stochastic gradient descent, and can thus be implemented with little effort using any of the deep learning packages.We demonstrate the success of our approach for two distinct classification problems (document sentiment analysis and image classification), where state-of-the-art domain adaptation performance on standard benchmarks is achieved. We also validate the approach for descriptor learning task in the context of person re-identification application.

在本文中，我们提出了一种使用域鉴别特征模块的双模块网络架构，以鼓励域不变的特征模块学习更多域不变的功能。该建议的架构可以应用于任何利用域不变功能的任何模型，用于无监督域适应，以提高其提取域不变特征的能力。我们在作为代表性算法的神经网络（DANN）模型的区域 - 对抗训练进行实验。在培训过程中，我们为两个模块提供相同的输入，然后分别提取它们的特征分布和预测结果。我们提出了差异损失，以找到预测结果的差异和两个模块之间的特征分布。通过对抗训练来最大化其特征分布和最小化其预测结果的差异，鼓励两个模块分别学习更多域歧视和域不变特征。进行了广泛的比较评估，拟议的方法在大多数无监督的域适应任务中表现出最先进的。

The cost of large scale data collection and annotation often makes the application of machine learning algorithms to new tasks or datasets prohibitively expensive. One approach circumventing this cost is training models on synthetic data where annotations are provided automatically. Despite their appeal, such models often fail to generalize from synthetic to real images, necessitating domain adaptation algorithms to manipulate these models before they can be successfully applied. Existing approaches focus either on mapping representations from one domain to the other, or on learning to extract features that are invariant to the domain from which they were extracted. However, by focusing only on creating a mapping or shared representation between the two domains, they ignore the individual characteristics of each domain. We suggest that explicitly modeling what is unique to each domain can improve a model's ability to extract domain-invariant features. Inspired by work on private-shared component analysis, we explicitly learn to extract image representations that are partitioned into two subspaces: one component which is private to each domain and one which is shared across domains. Our model is trained not only to perform the task we care about in the source domain, but also to use the partitioned representation to reconstruct the images from both domains. Our novel architecture results in a model that outperforms the state-of-the-art on a range of unsupervised domain adaptation scenarios and additionally produces visualizations of the private and shared representations enabling interpretation of the domain adaptation process.

关于无监督域适应性（UDA）的大多数现有研究都认为每个域的训练样本都带有域标签（例如绘画，照片）。假定每个域中的样品都遵循相同的分布，并利用域标签通过特征对齐来学习域不变特征。但是，这样的假设通常并不成立 - 通常存在许多较细粒的领域（例如，已经开发出了数十种现代绘画样式，每种绘画样式与经典风格的范围都有很大不同）。因此，在每个人工定义和粗粒结构域之间强迫特征分布对齐可能是无效的。在本文中，我们从完全不同的角度解决了单源和多源UDA，即将每个实例视为一个良好的域。因此，跨域的特征对齐是冗余。相反，我们建议执行动态实例域的适应性（DIDA）。具体而言，开发了具有自适应卷积内核的动态神经网络，以生成实例自适应残差，以使域 - 无知的深度特征适应每个单独的实例。这使得共享分类器可以同时应用于源域数据，而无需依赖任何域注释。此外，我们没有施加复杂的特征对准损失，而是仅使用标记的源和伪标记为目标数据的跨透镜损失采用简单的半监督学习范式。我们的模型被称为DIDA-NET，可以在几种常用的单源和多源UDA数据集上实现最先进的性能，包括数字，办公室房屋，域名，域名，Digit-Five和PAC。

Domain Adaptation is an actively researched problem in Computer Vision. In this work, we propose an approach that leverages unsupervised data to bring the source and target distributions closer in a learned joint feature space. We accomplish this by inducing a symbiotic relationship between the learned embedding and a generative adversarial network. This is in contrast to methods which use the adversarial framework for realistic data generation and retraining deep models with such data. We demonstrate the strength and generality of our approach by performing experiments on three different tasks with varying levels of difficulty: (1) Digit classification (MNIST, SVHN and USPS datasets) (2) Object recognition using OFFICE dataset and (3) Domain adaptation from synthetic to real data. Our method achieves state-of-the art performance in most experimental settings and by far the only GAN-based method that has been shown to work well across different datasets such as OFFICE and DIGITS.

Conventional unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) assumes that training data are sampled from a single domain. This neglects the more practical scenario where training data are collected from multiple sources, requiring multi-source domain adaptation. We make three major contributions towards addressing this problem. First, we collect and annotate by far the largest UDA dataset, called DomainNet, which contains six domains and about 0.6 million images distributed among 345 categories, addressing the gap in data availability for multi-source UDA research. Second, we propose a new deep learning approach, Moment Matching for Multi-Source Domain Adaptation (M 3 SDA), which aims to transfer knowledge learned from multiple labeled source domains to an unlabeled target domain by dynamically aligning moments of their feature distributions. Third, we provide new theoretical insights specifically for moment matching approaches in both single and multiple source domain adaptation. Extensive experiments are conducted to demonstrate the power of our new dataset in benchmarking state-of-the-art multi-source domain adaptation methods, as well as the advantage of our proposed model. Dataset and Code are available at http://ai.bu.edu/M3SDA/

This work provides a unified framework for addressing the problem of visual supervised domain adaptation and generalization with deep models. The main idea is to exploit the Siamese architecture to learn an embedding subspace that is discriminative, and where mapped visual domains are semantically aligned and yet maximally separated. The supervised setting becomes attractive especially when only few target data samples need to be labeled. In this scenario, alignment and separation of semantic probability distributions is difficult because of the lack of data. We found that by reverting to point-wise surrogates of distribution distances and similarities provides an effective solution. In addition, the approach has a high "speed" of adaptation, which requires an extremely low number of labeled target training samples, even one per category can be effective. The approach is extended to domain generalization. For both applications the experiments show very promising results.

无监督域适应（UDA）旨在将知识从相关但不同的良好标记的源域转移到新的未标记的目标域。大多数现有的UDA方法需要访问源数据，因此当数据保密而不相配在隐私问题时，不适用。本文旨在仅使用培训的分类模型来解决现实设置，而不是访问源数据。为了有效地利用适应源模型，我们提出了一种新颖的方法，称为源假设转移（拍摄），其通过将目标数据特征拟合到冻结源分类模块（表示分类假设）来学习目标域的特征提取模块。具体而言，拍摄挖掘出于特征提取模块的信息最大化和自我监督学习，以确保目标特征通过同一假设与看不见的源数据的特征隐式对齐。此外，我们提出了一种新的标签转移策略，它基于预测的置信度（标签信息），然后采用半监督学习来将目标数据分成两个分裂，然后提高目标域中的较为自信预测的准确性。如果通过拍摄获得预测，我们表示标记转移为拍摄++。关于两位数分类和对象识别任务的广泛实验表明，拍摄和射击++实现了与最先进的结果超越或相当的结果，展示了我们对各种视域适应问题的方法的有效性。代码可用于\ url {https：//github.com/tim-learn/shot-plus}。

虽然在许多域内生成并提供了大量的未标记数据，但对视觉数据的自动理解的需求高于以往任何时候。大多数现有机器学习模型通常依赖于大量标记的训练数据来实现高性能。不幸的是，在现实世界的应用中，不能满足这种要求。标签的数量有限，手动注释数据昂贵且耗时。通常需要将知识从现有标记域传输到新域。但是，模型性能因域之间的差异（域移位或数据集偏差）而劣化。为了克服注释的负担，域适应（DA）旨在在将知识从一个域转移到另一个类似但不同的域中时减轻域移位问题。无监督的DA（UDA）处理标记的源域和未标记的目标域。 UDA的主要目标是减少标记的源数据和未标记的目标数据之间的域差异，并在培训期间在两个域中学习域不变的表示。在本文中，我们首先定义UDA问题。其次，我们从传统方法和基于深度学习的方法中概述了不同类别的UDA的最先进的方法。最后，我们收集常用的基准数据集和UDA最先进方法的报告结果对视觉识别问题。

We propose a novel unsupervised domain adaptation framework based on domain-specific batch normalization in deep neural networks. We aim to adapt to both domains by specializing batch normalization layers in convolutional neural networks while allowing them to share all other model parameters, which is realized by a twostage algorithm. In the first stage, we estimate pseudolabels for the examples in the target domain using an external unsupervised domain adaptation algorithm-for example, MSTN [27] or CPUA [14]-integrating the proposed domain-specific batch normalization. The second stage learns the final models using a multi-task classification loss for the source and target domains. Note that the two domains have separate batch normalization layers in both stages. Our framework can be easily incorporated into the domain adaptation techniques based on deep neural networks with batch normalization layers. We also present that our approach can be extended to the problem with multiple source domains. The proposed algorithm is evaluated on multiple benchmark datasets and achieves the state-of-theart accuracy in the standard setting and the multi-source domain adaption scenario.

在计算机视觉中，面对域转移是很常见的：具有相同类但采集条件不同的图像。在域适应性（DA）中，人们希望使用源标记的图像对未标记的目标图像进行分类。不幸的是，在源训练集中训练的深度神经网络在不属于训练领域的目标图像上表现不佳。改善这些性能的一种策略是使用最佳传输（OT）在嵌入式空间中对齐源和目标图像分布。但是，OT会导致负转移，即与不同标签的样品对齐，这导致过度拟合，尤其是在域之间存在标签移动的情况下。在这项工作中，我们通过将其解释为针对目标图像的嘈杂标签分配来减轻负相位。然后，我们通过适当的正则化来减轻其效果。我们建议将混合正则化\ citep {zhang2018mixup}与噪音标签强大的损失，以提高域的适应性性能。我们在一项广泛的消融研究中表明，这两种技术的结合对于提高性能至关重要。最后，我们在几个基准和现实世界DA问题上评估了称为\ textsc {mixunbot}的方法。

虽然无监督的域适应（UDA）算法，即，近年来只有来自源域的标记数据，大多数算法和理论结果侧重于单源无监督域适应（SUDA）。然而，在实际情况下，标记的数据通常可以从多个不同的源收集，并且它们可能不仅不同于目标域而且彼此不同。因此，来自多个源的域适配器不应以相同的方式进行建模。最近基于深度学习的多源无监督域适应（Muda）算法专注于通过在通用特征空间中的所有源极和目标域的分布对齐来提取所有域的公共域不变表示。但是，往往很难提取Muda中所有域的相同域不变表示。此外，这些方法匹配分布而不考虑类之间的域特定的决策边界。为了解决这些问题，我们提出了一个新的框架，具有两个对准阶段的Muda，它不仅将每对源和目标域的分布对齐，而且还通过利用域特定的分类器的输出对准决策边界。广泛的实验表明，我们的方法可以对图像分类的流行基准数据集实现显着的结果。

在图像分类中，获得足够的标签通常昂贵且耗时。为了解决这个问题，域适应通常提供有吸引力的选择，给出了来自类似性质但不同域的大量标记数据。现有方法主要对准单个结构提取的表示的分布，并且表示可以仅包含部分信息，例如，仅包含部分饱和度，亮度和色调信息。在这一行中，我们提出了多代表性适应，这可以大大提高跨域图像分类的分类精度，并且特别旨在对准由名为Inception Adaption Adationation模块（IAM）提取的多个表示的分布。基于此，我们呈现多色自适应网络（MRAN）来通过多表示对准完成跨域图像分类任务，该任向性可以捕获来自不同方面的信息。此外，我们扩展了最大的平均差异（MMD）来计算适应损耗。我们的方法可以通过扩展具有IAM的大多数前进模型来轻松实现，并且网络可以通过反向传播有效地培训。在三个基准图像数据集上进行的实验证明了备的有效性。代码已在https://github.com/easezyc/deep-transfer -learning上获得。

In this paper, we investigate a challenging unsupervised domain adaptation setting -unsupervised model adaptation. We aim to explore how to rely only on unlabeled target data to improve performance of an existing source prediction model on the target domain, since labeled source data may not be available in some real-world scenarios due to data privacy issues. For this purpose, we propose a new framework, which is referred to as collaborative class conditional generative adversarial net to bypass the dependence on the source data. Specifically, the prediction model is to be improved through generated target-style data, which provides more accurate guidance for the generator. As a result, the generator and the prediction model can collaborate with each other without source data. Furthermore, due to the lack of supervision from source data, we propose a weight constraint that encourages similarity to the source model. A clustering-based regularization is also introduced to produce more discriminative features in the target domain. Compared to conventional domain adaptation methods, our model achieves superior performance on multiple adaptation tasks with only unlabeled target data, which verifies its effectiveness in this challenging setting.

大多数现有的多源域适配（MSDA）方法通过特征分布对准最小化多个源 - 目标域对之间的距离，从单个源设置借用的方法。但是，对于不同的源极域，对齐成对特征分布是具有挑战性的，甚至可以对MSDA进行反效率。在本文中，我们介绍了一种新颖的方法：可转让的属性学习。动机很简单：虽然不同的域可以具有急剧不同的视野，但它们包含相同的类类，其特征在一起相同的属性;因此，MSDA模型应该专注于学习目标域的最可转换的属性。采用这种方法，我们提出了域名关注一致性网络，称为DAC网。关键设计是一个特征通道注意模块，旨在识别可转移功能（属性）。重要的是，注意模块受到一致性损失的监督，这对源极和目标域之间的信道注意权重的分布施加。此外，为了促进对目标数据的鉴别特征学习，我们将伪标记与类紧凑性丢失相结合，以最小化目标特征和分类器的权重向量之间的距离。在三个MSDA基准测试中进行了广泛的实验表明，我们的DAC-NET在所有这些中实现了新的最新性能。

In this work, we present a method for unsupervised domain adaptation. Many adversarial learning methods train domain classifier networks to distinguish the features as either a source or target and train a feature generator network to mimic the discriminator. Two problems exist with these methods. First, the domain classifier only tries to distinguish the features as a source or target and thus does not consider task-specific decision boundaries between classes. Therefore, a trained generator can generate ambiguous features near class boundaries. Second, these methods aim to completely match the feature distributions between different domains, which is difficult because of each domain's characteristics.To solve these problems, we introduce a new approach that attempts to align distributions of source and target by utilizing the task-specific decision boundaries. We propose to maximize the discrepancy between two classifiers' outputs to detect target samples that are far from the support of the source. A feature generator learns to generate target features near the support to minimize the discrepancy. Our method outperforms other methods on several datasets of image classification and semantic segmentation. The codes are available at https://github. com/mil-tokyo/MCD_DA

Human adaptability relies crucially on the ability to learn and merge knowledge both from supervised and unsupervised learning: the parents point out few important concepts, but then the children fill in the gaps on their own. This is particularly effective, because supervised learning can never be exhaustive and thus learning autonomously allows to discover invariances and regularities that help to generalize. In this paper we propose to apply a similar approach to the task of object recognition across domains: our model learns the semantic labels in a supervised fashion, and broadens its understanding of the data by learning from self-supervised signals how to solve a jigsaw puzzle on the same images. This secondary task helps the network to learn the concepts of spatial correlation while acting as a regularizer for the classification task. Multiple experiments on the PACS, VLCS, Office-Home and digits datasets confirm our intuition and show that this simple method outperforms previous domain generalization and adaptation solutions. An ablation study further illustrates the inner workings of our approach.
