The cardiothoracic ratio (CTR), a clinical metric of heart size in chest X-rays (CXRs), is a key indicator of cardiomegaly. Manual measurement of CTR is time-consuming and can be affected by human subjectivity, making it desirable to design computer-aided systems that assist clinicians in the diagnosis process. Automatic CTR estimation through chest organ segmentation, however, requires large amounts of pixel-level annotated data, which is often unavailable. To alleviate this problem, we propose an unsupervised domain adaptation framework based on adversarial networks. The framework learns domain invariant feature representations from openly available data sources to produce accurate chest organ segmentation for unlabeled datasets. Specifically, we propose a model that enforces our intuition that prediction masks should be domain independent. Hence, we introduce a discriminator that distinguishes segmentation predictions from ground truth masks. We evaluate our system's prediction based on the assessment of radiologists and demonstrate the clinical practicability for the diagnosis of cardiomegaly. We finally illustrate on the JSRT dataset that the semi-supervised performance of our model is also very promising.

Virtual Adversarial Training has recently seen a lot of success in semi-supervised learning, as well as unsupervised Domain Adaptation. However, so far it has been used on input samples in the pixel space, whereas we propose to apply it directly to feature vectors. We also discuss the unstable behaviour of entropy minimization and Decision-Boundary Iterative Refinement Training With a Teacher in Domain Adaptation, and suggest substitutes that achieve similar behaviour. By adding the aforementioned techniques to the state of the art model TA$^3$N, we either maintain competitive results or outpe…

The problem of domain adaptation (DA) deals with adapting classifier models trained on one data distribution to different data distributions. In this paper, we introduce the Nonlinear Embedding Transform (NET) for unsupervised DA by combining domain alignment along with similarity-based embedding. We also introduce a validation procedure to estimate the model parameters for the NET algorithm using the source data. Comprehensive evaluations on multiple vision datasets demonstrate that the NET algorithm outperforms existing competitive procedures for unsupervised DA.

Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) makes predictions for the target domain data while manual annotations are only available in the source domain. Previous methods minimize the domain discrepancy neglecting the class information, which may lead to misalignment and poor generalization performance. To address this issue, this paper proposes Contrastive Adaptation Network (CAN) optimizing a new metric which explicitly models the intra-class domain discrepancy and the inter-class domain discrepancy. We design an alternating update strategy for training CAN in an end-to-end manner. Experiments on …
This paper presents a novel multi-task learning-based method for unsupervised domain adaptation. Specifically, the source and target domain classifiers are jointly learned by considering the geometry of target domain and the divergence between the source and target domains based on the concept of multi-task learning. Two novel algorithms are proposed upon the method using Regularized Least Squares and Support Vector Machines respectively. Experiments on both synthetic and real world cross domain recognition tasks have shown that the proposed methods outperform several state-of-the-art domain a…
Deep learning methods have shown promise in unsupervised domain adaptation, which aims to leverage a labeled source domain to learn a classifier for the unlabeled target domain with a different distribution. However, such methods typically learn a domain-invariant representation space to match the marginal distributions of the source and target domains, while ignoring their fine-level structures. In this paper, we propose Cluster Alignment with a Teacher (CAT) for unsupervised domain adaptation, which can effectively incorporate the discriminative clustering structures in both domains for bett…
In this work, we face the problem of unsupervised domain adaptation with a novel deep learning approach which leverages on our finding that entropy minimization is induced by the optimal alignment of second order statistics between source and target domains. We formally demonstrate this hypothesis and, aiming at achieving an optimal alignment in practical cases, we adopt a more principled strategy which, differently from the current Euclidean approaches, deploys alignment along geodesics. Our pipeline can be implemented by adding to the standard classification loss (on the labeled source domai…
Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) deals with the adaptation of models from a given source domain with labeled data to an unlabeled target domain. In this paper, we utilize the inherent prediction uncertainty of a model to accomplish the domain adaptation task. The uncertainty is measured by Monte-Carlo dropout and used for our proposed Uncertainty-based Filtering and Feature Alignment (UFAL) that combines an Uncertain Feature Loss (UFL) function and an Uncertainty-Based Filtering (UBF) approach for alignment of features in Euclidean space. Our method surpasses recently proposed architecture…

This paper addresses the problem of unsupervised domain adaptation on the task of pedestrian detection in crowded scenes. First, we utilize an iterative algorithm to iteratively select and auto-annotate positive pedestrian samples with high confidence as the training samples for the target domain. Meanwhile, we also reuse negative samples from the source domain to compensate for the imbalance between the amount of positive samples and negative samples. Second, based on the deep network we also design an unsupervised regularizer to mitigate influence from data noise. More specifically, we trans…
In the current era, image manipulation is becoming increasingly easier, yielding more natural looking images, owing to the modern tools in image processing and computer vision techniques. The task of the segregation of forged images has become very challenging. To tackle such problems, publicly available datasets are insufficient. In this paper, we propose to create a synthetic forged dataset using deep semantic image inpainting algorithm. Furthermore, we use an unsupervised domain adaptation network to detect copy-move forgery in images. Our approach can be helpful in those cases, where the c…
Unsupervised domain adaptation aims to align a labeled source domain and an unlabeled target domain, but it requires to access the source data which often raises concerns in data privacy, data portability and data transmission efficiency. We study unsupervised model adaptation (UMA), or called Unsupervised Domain Adaptation without Source Data, an alternative setting that aims to adapt source-trained models towards target distributions without accessing source data. To this end, we design an innovative historical contrastive learning (HCL) technique that exploits historical source hypothesis t…
Collecting well-annotated image datasets to train modern machine learning algorithms is prohibitively expensive for many tasks. One appealing alternative is rendering synthetic data where ground-truth annotations are generated automatically. Unfortunately, models trained purely on rendered images often fail to generalize to real images. To address this shortcoming, prior work introduced unsupervised domain adaptation algorithms that attempt to map representations between the two domains or learn to extract features that are domain-invariant. In this work, we present a new approach that learns,…
In this paper, we present DRANet, a network architecture that disentangles image representations and transfers the visual attributes in a latent space for unsupervised cross-domain adaptation. Unlike the existing domain adaptation methods that learn associated features sharing a domain, DRANet preserves the distinctiveness of each domain's characteristics. Our model encodes individual representations of content (scene structure) and style (artistic appearance) from both source and target images. Then, it adapts the domain by incorporating the transferred style factor into the content factor al…

Current deep domain adaptation methods used in computer vision have mainly focused on learning discriminative and domain-invariant features across different domains. In this paper, we present a novel approach that bridges the domain gap by projecting the source and target domains into a common association space through an unsupervised ``cross-grafted representation stacking'' (CGRS) mechanism. Specifically, we construct variational auto-encoders (VAE) for the two domains, and form bidirectional associations by cross-grafting the VAEs' decoder stacks. Furthermore, generative adversarial network…
In this paper we present a solution to the task of "unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) of a given pre-trained semantic segmentation model without relying on any source domain representations". Previous UDA approaches for semantic segmentation either employed simultaneous training of the model in the source and target domains, or they relied on an additional network, replaying source domain knowledge to the model during adaptation. In contrast, we present our novel Unsupervised BatchNorm Adaptation (UBNA) method, which adapts a given pre-trained model to an unseen target domain without using …
Simulators can efficiently generate large amounts of labeled synthetic data with perfect supervision for hard-to-label tasks like semantic segmentation. However, they introduce a domain gap that severely hurts real-world performance. We propose to use self-supervised monocular depth estimation as a proxy task to bridge this gap and improve sim-to-real unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA). Our Geometric Unsupervised Domain Adaptation method (GUDA) learns a domain-invariant representation via a multi-task objective combining synthetic semantic supervision with real-world geometric constraints on…
Prior feature transformation based approaches to Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) employ the deep features extracted by pre-trained deep models without fine-tuning them on the specific source or target domain data for a particular domain adaptation task. In contrast, end-to-end learning based approaches optimise the pre-trained backbones and the customised adaptation modules simultaneously to learn domain-invariant features for UDA. In this work, we explore the potential of combining fine-tuned features and feature transformation based UDA methods for improved domain adaptation performance…
We study the problem of robust domain adaptation in the context of unavailable target labels and source data. The considered robustness is against adversarial perturbations. This paper aims at answering the question of finding the right strategy to make the target model robust and accurate in the setting of unsupervised domain adaptation without source data. The major findings of this paper are: (i) robust source models can be transferred robustly to the target; (ii) robust domain adaptation can greatly benefit from non-robust pseudo-labels and the pair-wise contrastive loss. The proposed meth…

Machine learning is driven by data, yet while their availability is constantly increasing, training data require laborious, time consuming and error-prone labelling or ground truth acquisition, which in some cases is very difficult or even impossible. Recent works have resorted to synthetic data generation, but the inferior performance of models trained on synthetic data when applied to the real world, introduced the challenge of unsupervised domain adaptation. In this work we investigate an unsupervised domain adaptation technique that descends from another perspective, in order to avoid the …
Object detection is an essential technique for autonomous driving. The performance of an object detector significantly degrades if the weather of the training images is different from that of test images. Domain adaptation can be used to address the domain shift problem so as to improve the robustness of an object detector. However, most existing domain adaptation methods either handle single target domain or require domain labels. We propose a novel unsupervised domain classification method which can be used to generalize single-target domain adaptation methods to multi-target domains, and de…
We propose a normalization layer for unsupervised domain adaption in semantic scene segmentation. Normalization layers are known to improve convergence and generalization and are part of many state-of-the-art fully-convolutional neural networks. We show that conventional normalization layers worsen the performance of current Unsupervised Adversarial Domain Adaption (UADA), which is a method to improve network performance on unlabeled datasets and the focus of our research. Therefore, we propose a novel Domain Agnostic Normalization layer and thereby unlock the benefits of normalization layers …
Semantic segmentation models struggle to generalize in the presence of domain shift. In this paper, we introduce contrastive learning for feature alignment in cross-domain adaptation. We assemble both in-domain contrastive pairs and cross-domain contrastive pairs to learn discriminative features that align across domains. Based on the resulting well-aligned feature representations we introduce a label expansion approach that is able to discover samples from hard classes during the adaptation process to further boost performance. The proposed approach consistently outperforms state-of-the-art m…

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) for semantic segmentation addresses the cross-domain problem with fine source domain labels. However, the acquisition of semantic labels has always been a difficult step, many scenarios only have weak labels (e.g. bounding boxes). For scenarios where weak supervision and cross-domain problems coexist, this paper defines a new task: unsupervised domain adaptation based on weak source domain labels (WUDA). To explore solutions for this task, this paper proposes two intuitive frameworks: 1) Perform weakly supervised semantic segmentation in the source domain, …
Unsupervised domain adaptation (uDA) models focus on pairwise adaptation settings where there is a single, labeled, source and a single target domain. However, in many real-world settings one seeks to adapt to multiple, but somewhat similar, target domains. Applying pairwise adaptation approaches to this setting may be suboptimal, as they fail to leverage shared information among multiple domains. In this work we propose an information theoretic approach for domain adaptation in the novel context of multiple target domains with unlabeled instances and one source domain with labeled instances. …
Unsupervised domain adaptation is one of the challenging problems in computer vision. This paper presents a novel approach to unsupervised domain adaptations based on the optimal transport-based distance. Our approach allows aligning target and source domains without the requirement of meaningful metrics across domains. In addition, the proposal can associate the correct mapping between source and target domains and guarantee a constraint of topology between source and target domains. The proposed method is evaluated on different datasets in various problems, i.e. (i) digit recognition on MNIS…

In this paper, we introduce a novel unsupervised domain adaptation technique for the task of 3D keypoint prediction from a single depth scan or image. Our key idea is to utilize the fact that predictions from different views of the same or similar objects should be consistent with each other. Such view consistency can provide effective regularization for keypoint prediction on unlabeled instances. In addition, we introduce a geometric alignment term to regularize predictions in the target domain. The resulting loss function can be effectively optimized via alternating minimization. We demonstr…

Instance contrast for unsupervised representation learning has achieved great success in recent years. In this work, we explore the idea of instance contrastive learning in unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) and propose a novel Category Contrast technique (CaCo) that introduces semantic priors on top of instance discrimination for visual UDA tasks. By considering instance contrastive learning as a dictionary look-up operation, we construct a semantics-aware dictionary with samples from both source and target domains where each target sample is assigned a (pseudo) category label based on the …

The divergence between labeled training data and unlabeled testing data is a significant challenge for recent deep learning models. Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) attempts to solve such a problem. Recent works show that self-training is a powerful approach to UDA. However, existing methods have difficulty in balancing scalability and performance. In this paper, we propose an instance adaptive self-training framework for UDA on the task of semantic segmentation. To effectively improve the quality of pseudo-labels, we develop a novel pseudo-label generation strategy with an instance adapti…
Drastic variations in illumination across surveillance cameras make the person re-identification problem extremely challenging. Current large scale re-identification datasets have a significant number of training subjects, but lack diversity in lighting conditions. As a result, a trained model requires fine-tuning to become effective under an unseen illumination condition. To alleviate this problem, we introduce a new synthetic dataset that contains hundreds of illumination conditions. Specifically, we use 100 virtual humans illuminated with multiple HDR environment maps which accurately model…
Neural network-based semantic segmentation has achieved remarkable results when large amounts of annotated data are available, that is, in the supervised case. However, such data is expensive to collect and so methods have been developed to adapt models trained on related, often synthetic data for which labels are readily available. Current adaptation approaches do not consider the dependence of the generalization/transferability of these models on network architecture. In this paper, we perform neural architecture search (NAS) to provide architecture-level perspective and analysis for domain …

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) methods can dramatically improve generalization on unlabeled target domains. However, optimal hyper-parameter selection is critical to achieving high accuracy and avoiding negative transfer. Supervised hyper-parameter validation is not possible without labeled target data, which raises the question: How can we validate unsupervised adaptation techniques in a realistic way? We first empirically analyze existing criteria and demonstrate that they are not very effective for tuning hyper-parameters. Intuitively, a well-trained source classifier should embed tar…

We study the problem of unsupervised domain adaptation which aims to adapt models trained on a labeled source domain to a completely unlabeled target domain. Recently, the cluster assumption has been applied to unsupervised domain adaptation and achieved strong performance. One critical factor in successful training of the cluster assumption is to impose the locally-Lipschitz constraint to the model. Existing methods only impose the locally-Lipschitz constraint around the training points while miss the other areas, such as the points in-between training data. In this paper, we address this iss…
Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) deals with the adaptation process of a model to an unlabeled target domain while annotated data is only available for a given source domain. This poses a challenging task, as the domain shift between source and target instances deteriorates a model's performance when not addressed. In this paper, we propose UBR$^2$S - the Uncertainty-Based Resampling and Reweighting Strategy - to tackle this problem. UBR$^2$S employs a Monte Carlo dropout-based uncertainty estimate to obtain per-class probability distributions, which are then used for dynamic resampling of …

Unsupervised domain adaptation aims to generalize the supervised model trained on a source domain to an unlabeled target domain. Marginal distribution alignment of feature spaces is widely used to reduce the domain discrepancy between the source and target domains. However, it assumes that the source and target domains share the same label distribution, which limits their application scope. In this paper, we consider a more general application scenario where the label distributions of the source and target domains are not the same. In this scenario, marginal distribution alignment-based method…
Domain Adaptation (DA) techniques are important for overcoming the domain shift between the source domain used for training and the target domain where testing takes place. However, current DA methods assume that the entire target domain is available during adaptation, which may not hold in practice. This paper considers a more realistic scenario, where target data become available in smaller batches and adaptation on the entire target domain is not feasible. In our work, we introduce a new, data-constrained DA paradigm where unlabeled target samples are received in batches and adaptation is p…
In this paper, we focus on a less explored, but more realistic and complex problem of domain adaptation in LiDAR semantic segmentation. There is a significant drop in performance of an existing segmentation model when training (source domain) and testing (target domain) data originate from different LiDAR sensors. To overcome this shortcoming, we propose an unsupervised domain adaptation framework that leverages unlabeled target domain data for self-supervision, coupled with an unpaired mask transfer strategy to mitigate the impact of domain shifts. Furthermore, we introduce the gated adapter …

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-based 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 utilizin…
Unsupervised domain adaptation for semantic segmentation aims to make models trained on synthetic data (source domain) adapt to real images (target domain). Previous feature-level adversarial learning methods only consider adapting models on the high-level semantic features. However, the large domain gap between source and target domains in the high-level semantic features makes accurate adaptation difficult. In this paper, we present the first attempt at explicitly using low-level edge information, which has a small inter-domain gap, to guide the transfer of semantic information. To this end,…

A classifier trained on a dataset seldom works on other datasets obtained under different conditions due to domain shift. This problem is commonly addressed by domain adaptation methods. In this work we introduce a novel deep learning framework which unifies different paradigms in unsupervised domain adaptation. Specifically, we propose domain alignment layers which implement feature whitening for the purpose of matching source and target feature distributions. Additionally, we leverage the unlabeled target data by proposing the Min-Entropy Consensus loss, which regularizes training while avoi…

Recent works showed that Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) can be successfully applied in unsupervised domain adaptation, where, given a labeled source dataset and an unlabeled target dataset, the goal is to train powerful classifiers for the target samples. In particular, it was shown that a GAN objective function can be used to learn target features indistinguishable from the source ones. In this work, we extend this framework by (i) forcing the learned feature extractor to be domain-invariant, and (ii) training it through data augmentation in the feature space, namely performing featur…
Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) typically carries out knowledge transfer from a label-rich source domain to an unlabeled target domain by adversarial learning. In principle, existing UDA approaches mainly focus on the global distribution alignment between domains while ignoring the intrinsic local distribution properties. Motivated by this observation, we propose an end-to-end structure-conditioned adversarial learning scheme (SCAL) that is able to preserve the intra-class compactness during domain distribution alignment. By using local structures as structure-aware conditions, the propos…
Recent works on domain adaptation exploit adversarial training to obtain domain-invariant feature representations from the joint learning of feature extractor and domain discriminator networks. However, domain adversarial methods render suboptimal performances since they attempt to match the distributions among the domains without considering the task at hand. We propose Drop to Adapt (DTA), which leverages adversarial dropout to learn strongly discriminative features by enforcing the cluster assumption. Accordingly, we design objective functions to support robust domain adaptation. We demonst…

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 protection. Usually, the given source domain pre-trained model is expected to optimize with only unlabeled target data, which is termed as source-free unsupervised domain adaptation. In this paper, we solve this problem from the perspective of noisy label learning, since the given pre-trained model can pre-generate noisy label for unlabeled target d…

Unsupervised domain adaptation is critical in various computer vision tasks, such as object detection, instance segmentation, and semantic segmentation, which aims to alleviate performance degradation caused by domain-shift. Most of previous methods rely on a single-mode distribution of source and target domains to align them with adversarial learning, leading to inferior results in various scenarios. To that end, in this paper, we design a new spatial attention pyramid network for unsupervised domain adaptation. Specifically, we first build the spatial pyramid representation to capture contex…

This paper studies a new, practical but challenging problem, called Class-Incremental Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (CI-UDA), where the labeled source domain contains all classes, but the classes in the unlabeled target domain increase sequentially. This problem is challenging due to two difficulties. First, source and target label sets are inconsistent at each time step, which makes it difficult to conduct accurate domain alignment. Second, previous target classes are unavailable in the current step, resulting in the forgetting of previous knowledge. To address this problem, we propose a nov…
Though unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) has achieved very impressive progress recently, it remains a great challenge due to missing target annotations and the rich discrepancy between source and target distributions. We propose Spectral UDA (SUDA), an effective and efficient UDA technique that works in the spectral space and can generalize across different visual recognition tasks. SUDA addresses the UDA challenges from two perspectives. First, it introduces a spectrum transformer (ST) that mitigates inter-domain discrepancies by enhancing domain-invariant spectra while suppressing domain-…

The objective of unsupervised domain adaptation is to leverage features from a labeled source domain and learn a classifier for an unlabeled target domain, with a similar but different data distribution. Most deep learning approaches to domain adaptation consist of two steps: (i) learn features that preserve a low risk on labeled samples (source domain) and (ii) make the features from both domains to be as indistinguishable as possible, so that a classifier trained on the source can also be applied on the target domain. In general, the classifiers in step (i) consist of fully-connected layers …

Although action recognition has achieved impressive results over recent years, both collection and annotation of video training data are still time-consuming and cost intensive. Therefore, image-to-video adaptation has been proposed to exploit labeling-free web image source for adapting on unlabeled target videos. This poses two major challenges: (1) spatial domain shift between web images and video frames; (2) modality gap between image and video data. To address these challenges, we propose Cycle Domain Adaptation (CycDA), a cycle-based approach for unsupervised image-to-video domain adaptat…

Unsupervised cross-domain person re-identification (Re-ID) faces two key issues. One is the data distribution discrepancy between source and target domains, and the other is the lack of labelling information in target domain. They are addressed in this paper from the perspective of representation learning. For the first issue, we highlight the presence of camera-level sub-domains as a unique characteristic of person Re-ID, and develop camera-aware domain adaptation to reduce the discrepancy not only between source and target domains but also across these sub-domains. For the second issue, we e…
