Domain adaptation for person re-identification on new unlabeled data using AlignedReID++

Large-Scale Unsupervised Person Re-Identification with Contrastive Learning

Existing public person Re-Identification~(ReID) datasets are small in modern terms because of labeling difficulty. Although unlabeled surveillance video is abundant and relatively easy to obtain, it is unclear how to leverage these footage to learn meaningful ReID representations. In particular, most existing unsupervised and domain adaptation ReID methods utilize only the public datasets in their experiments, with labels removed. In addition, due to small data sizes, these methods usually rely on fine tuning by the unlabeled training data in the testing domain to achieve good performance. Ins…

Semantics-Guided Clustering with Deep Progressive Learning for Semi-Supervised Person Re-identification

Person re-identification (re-ID) requires one to match images of the same person across camera views. As a more challenging task, semi-supervised re-ID tackles the problem that only a number of identities in training data are fully labeled, while the remaining are unlabeled. Assuming that such labeled and unlabeled training data share disjoint identity labels, we propose a novel framework of Semantics-Guided Clustering with Deep Progressive Learning (SGC-DPL) to jointly exploit the above data. By advancing the proposed Semantics-Guided Affinity Propagation (SG-AP), we are able to assign pseudo…

Feature Affinity based Pseudo Labeling for Semi-supervised Person Re-identification

Person re-identification aims to match a person's identity across multiple camera streams. Deep neural networks have been successfully applied to the challenging person re-identification task. One remarkable bottleneck is that the existing deep models are data hungry and require large amounts of labeled training data. Acquiring manual annotations for pedestrian identity matchings in large-scale surveillance camera installations is a highly cumbersome task. Here, we propose the first semi-supervised approach that performs pseudo-labeling by considering complex relationships between unlabeled an…

Unsupervised Cross-dataset Person Re-identification by Transfer Learning of Spatial-Temporal Patterns

Most of the proposed person re-identification algorithms conduct supervised training and testing on single labeled datasets with small size, so directly deploying these trained models to a large-scale real-world camera network may lead to poor performance due to underfitting. It is challenging to incrementally optimize the models by using the abundant unlabeled data collected from the target domain. To address this challenge, we propose an unsupervised incremental learning algorithm, TFusion, which is aided by the transfer learning of the pedestrians' spatio-temporal patterns in the target dom…

Learning adaptively from the unknown for few-example video person re-ID

This paper mainly studies one-example and few-example video person re-identification. A multi-branch network PAM that jointly learns local and global features is proposed. PAM has high accuracy, few parameters and converges fast, which is suitable for few-example person re-identification. We iteratively estimates labels for unlabeled samples, incorporates them into training sets, and trains a more robust network. We propose the static relative distance sampling(SRD) strategy based on the relative distance between classes. For the problem that SRD can not use all unlabeled samples, we propose a…

Enhancing Person Re-identification in a Self-trained Subspace

Despite the promising progress made in recent years, person re-identification (re-ID) remains a challenging task due to the complex variations in human appearances from different camera views. For this challenging problem, a large variety of algorithms have been developed in the fully-supervised setting, requiring access to a large amount of labeled training data. However, the main bottleneck for fully-supervised re-ID is the limited availability of labeled training samples. To address this problem, in this paper, we propose a self-trained subspace learning paradigm for person re-ID which effe…

Meta Clustering Learning for Large-scale Unsupervised Person Re-identification

Unsupervised Person Re-identification (U-ReID) with pseudo labeling recently reaches a competitive performance compared to fully-supervised ReID methods based on modern clustering algorithms. However, such clustering-based scheme becomes computationally prohibitive for large-scale datasets. How to efficiently leverage endless unlabeled data with limited computing resources for better U-ReID is under-explored. In this paper, we make the first attempt to the large-scale U-ReID and propose a "small data for big task" paradigm dubbed Meta Clustering Learning (MCL). MCL only pseudo-labels a subset …

Cross-dataset Person Re-Identification Using Similarity Preserved Generative Adversarial Networks

Person re-identification (Re-ID) aims to match the image frames which contain the same person in the surveillance videos. Most of the Re-ID algorithms conduct supervised training in some small labeled datasets, so directly deploying these trained models to the real-world large camera networks may lead to a poor performance due to underfitting. The significant difference between the source training dataset and the target testing dataset makes it challenging to incrementally optimize the model. To address this challenge, we propose a novel solution by transforming the unlabeled images in the tar…

Joint Visual and Temporal Consistency for Unsupervised Domain Adaptive Person Re-Identification

Unsupervised domain adaptive person Re-IDentification (ReID) is challenging because of the large domain gap between source and target domains, as well as the lackage of labeled data on the target domain. This paper tackles this challenge through jointly enforcing visual and temporal consistency in the combination of a local one-hot classification and a global multi-class classification. The local one-hot classification assigns images in a training batch with different person IDs, then adopts a Self-Adaptive Classification (SAC) model to classify them. The global multi-class classification is a…

Progressive Sample Mining and Representation Learning for One-Shot Person Re-identification with Adversarial Samples

In this paper, we aim to tackle the one-shot person re-identification problem where only one image is labelled for each person, while other images are unlabelled. This task is challenging due to the lack of sufficient labelled training data. To tackle this problem, we propose to iteratively guess pseudo labels for the unlabeled image samples, which are later used to update the re-identification model together with the labelled samples. A new sampling mechanism is designed to select unlabeled samples to pseudo labelled samples based on the distance matrix, and to form a training triplet batch i…

Unsupervised Pre-training for Person Re-identification

In this paper, we present a large scale unlabeled person re-identification (Re-ID) dataset "LUPerson" and make the first attempt of performing unsupervised pre-training for improving the generalization ability of the learned person Re-ID feature representation. This is to address the problem that all existing person Re-ID datasets are all of limited scale due to the costly effort required for data annotation. Previous research tries to leverage models pre-trained on ImageNet to mitigate the shortage of person Re-ID data but suffers from the large domain gap between ImageNet and person Re-ID da…

Leveraging Unlabeled Data for Crowd Counting by Learning to Rank

We propose a novel crowd counting approach that leverages abundantly available unlabeled crowd imagery in a learning-to-rank framework. To induce a ranking of cropped images , we use the observation that any sub-image of a crowded scene image is guaranteed to contain the same number or fewer persons than the super-image. This allows us to address the problem of limited size of existing datasets for crowd counting. We collect two crowd scene datasets from Google using keyword searches and query-by-example image retrieval, respectively. We demonstrate how to efficiently learn from these unlabele…

Domain Adaptive Person Search

Person search is a challenging task which aims to achieve joint pedestrian detection and person re-identification (ReID). Previous works have made significant advances under fully and weakly supervised settings. However, existing methods ignore the generalization ability of the person search models. In this paper, we take a further step and present Domain Adaptive Person Search (DAPS), which aims to generalize the model from a labeled source domain to the unlabeled target domain. Two major challenges arises under this new setting: one is how to simultaneously solve the domain misalignment issu…

DomainMix: Learning Generalizable Person Re-Identification Without Human Annotations

Existing person re-identification models often have low generalizability, which is mostly due to limited availability of large-scale labeled data in training. However, labeling large-scale training data is very expensive and time-consuming, while large-scale synthetic dataset shows promising value in learning generalizable person re-identification models. Therefore, in this paper a novel and practical person re-identification task is proposed,i.e. how to use labeled synthetic dataset and unlabeled real-world dataset to train a universal model. In this way, human annotations are no longer requi…

Stronger Baseline for Person Re-Identification

Person re-identification (re-ID) aims to identify the same person of interest across non-overlapping capturing cameras, which plays an important role in visual surveillance applications and computer vision research areas. Fitting a robust appearance-based representation extractor with limited collected training data is crucial for person re-ID due to the high expanse of annotating the identity of unlabeled data. In this work, we propose a Stronger Baseline for person re-ID, an enhancement version of the current prevailing method, namely, Strong Baseline, with tiny modifications but a faster co…

Ranking Models in Unlabeled New Environments

Consider a scenario where we are supplied with a number of ready-to-use models trained on a certain source domain and hope to directly apply the most appropriate ones to different target domains based on the models' relative performance. Ideally we should annotate a validation set for model performance assessment on each new target environment, but such annotations are often very expensive. Under this circumstance, we introduce the problem of ranking models in unlabeled new environments. For this problem, we propose to adopt a proxy dataset that 1) is fully labeled and 2) well reflects the tru…

Skeleton Prototype Contrastive Learning with Multi-Level Graph Relation Modeling for Unsupervised Person Re-Identification

Person re-identification (re-ID) via 3D skeletons is an important emerging topic with many merits. Existing solutions rarely explore valuable body-component relations in skeletal structure or motion, and they typically lack the ability to learn general representations with unlabeled skeleton data for person re-ID. This paper proposes a generic unsupervised Skeleton Prototype Contrastive learning paradigm with Multi-level Graph Relation learning (SPC-MGR) to learn effective representations from unlabeled skeletons to perform person re-ID. Specifically, we first construct unified multi-level ske…

Towards Fewer Labels: Support Pair Active Learning for Person Re-identification

Supervised-learning based person re-identification (re-id) require a large amount of manual labeled data, which is not applicable in practical re-id deployment. In this work, we propose a Support Pair Active Learning (SPAL) framework to lower the manual labeling cost for large-scale person reidentification. The support pairs can provide the most informative relationships and support the discriminative feature learning. Specifically, we firstly design a dual uncertainty selection strategy to iteratively discover support pairs and require human annotations. Afterwards, we introduce a constrained…

An Evaluation of Deep CNN Baselines for Scene-Independent Person Re-Identification

In recent years, a variety of proposed methods based on deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have improved the state of the art for large-scale person re-identification (ReID). While a large number of optimizations and network improvements have been proposed, there has been relatively little evaluation of the influence of training data and baseline network architecture. In particular, it is usually assumed either that networks are trained on labeled data from the deployment location (scene-dependent), or else adapted with unlabeled data, both of which complicate system deployment. In this…

Leveraging Virtual and Real Person for Unsupervised Person Re-identification

Person re-identification (re-ID) is a challenging problem especially when no labels are available for training. Although recent deep re-ID methods have achieved great improvement, it is still difficult to optimize deep re-ID model without annotations in training data. To address this problem, this study introduces a novel approach for unsupervised person re-ID by leveraging virtual and real data. Our approach includes two components: virtual person generation and training of deep re-ID model. For virtual person generation, we learn a person generation model and a camera style transfer model us…

Generalizable Re-Identification from Videos with Cycle Association

In this paper, we are interested in learning a generalizable person re-identification (re-ID) representation from unlabeled videos. Compared with 1) the popular unsupervised re-ID setting where the training and test sets are typically under the same domain, and 2) the popular domain generalization (DG) re-ID setting where the training samples are labeled, our novel scenario combines their key challenges: the training samples are unlabeled, and collected form various domains which do no align with the test domain. In other words, we aim to learn a representation in an unsupervised manner and di…

Hard-sample Guided Hybrid Contrast Learning for Unsupervised Person Re-Identification

Unsupervised person re-identification (Re-ID) is a promising and very challenging research problem in computer vision. Learning robust and discriminative features with unlabeled data is of central importance to Re-ID. Recently, more attention has been paid to unsupervised Re-ID algorithms based on clustered pseudo-label. However, the previous approaches did not fully exploit information of hard samples, simply using cluster centroid or all instances for contrastive learning. In this paper, we propose a Hard-sample Guided Hybrid Contrast Learning (HHCL) approach combining cluster-level loss wit…

Temporal Continuity Based Unsupervised Learning for Person Re-Identification

Person re-identification (re-id) aims to match the same person from images taken across multiple cameras. Most existing person re-id methods generally require a large amount of identity labeled data to act as discriminative guideline for representation learning. Difficulty in manually collecting identity labeled data leads to poor adaptability in practical scenarios. To overcome this problem, we propose an unsupervised center-based clustering approach capable of progressively learning and exploiting the underlying re-id discriminative information from temporal continuity within a camera. We ca…

Pseudo-positive regularization for deep person re-identification

An intrinsic challenge of person re-identification (re-ID) is the annotation difficulty. This typically means 1) few training samples per identity, and 2) thus the lack of diversity among the training samples. Consequently, we face high risk of over-fitting when training the convolutional neural network (CNN), a state-of-the-art method in person re-ID. To reduce the risk of over-fitting, this paper proposes a Pseudo Positive Regularization (PPR) method to enrich the diversity of the training data. Specifically, unlabeled data from an independent pedestrian database is retrieved using the targe…

AD-Cluster: Augmented Discriminative Clustering for Domain Adaptive Person Re-identification

Domain adaptive person re-identification (re-ID) is a challenging task, especially when person identities in target domains are unknown. Existing methods attempt to address this challenge by transferring image styles or aligning feature distributions across domains, whereas the rich unlabeled samples in target domains are not sufficiently exploited. This paper presents a novel augmented discriminative clustering (AD-Cluster) technique that estimates and augments person clusters in target domains and enforces the discrimination ability of re-ID models with the augmented clusters. AD-Cluster is …

Disentanglement-based Cross-Domain Feature Augmentation for Effective Unsupervised Domain Adaptive Person Re-identification

Unsupervised domain adaptive (UDA) person re-identification (ReID) aims to transfer the knowledge from the labeled source domain to the unlabeled target domain for person matching. One challenge is how to generate target domain samples with reliable labels for training. To address this problem, we propose a Disentanglement-based Cross-Domain Feature Augmentation (DCDFA) strategy, where the augmented features characterize well the target and source domain data distributions while inheriting reliable identity labels. Particularly, we disentangle each sample feature into a robust domain-invariant…

EANet: Enhancing Alignment for Cross-Domain Person Re-identification

Person re-identification (ReID) has achieved significant improvement under the single-domain setting. However, directly exploiting a model to new domains is always faced with huge performance drop, and adapting the model to new domains without target-domain identity labels is still challenging. In this paper, we address cross-domain ReID and make contributions for both model generalization and adaptation. First, we propose Part Aligned Pooling (PAP) that brings significant improvement for cross-domain testing. Second, we design a Part Segmentation (PS) constraint over ReID feature to enhance a…

Unsupervised Clustering Active Learning for Person Re-identification

Supervised person re-identification (re-id) approaches require a large amount of pairwise manual labeled data, which is not applicable in most real-world scenarios for re-id deployment. On the other hand, unsupervised re-id methods rely on unlabeled data to train models but performs poorly compared with supervised re-id methods. In this work, we aim to combine unsupervised re-id learning with a small number of human annotations to achieve a competitive performance. Towards this goal, we present a Unsupervised Clustering Active Learning (UCAL) re-id deep learning approach. It is capable of incr…

Cross-Dataset Person Re-Identification via Unsupervised Pose Disentanglement and Adaptation

Person re-identification (re-ID) aims at recognizing the same person from images taken across different cameras. To address this challenging task, existing re-ID models typically rely on a large amount of labeled training data, which is not practical for real-world applications. To alleviate this limitation, researchers now targets at cross-dataset re-ID which focuses on generalizing the discriminative ability to the unlabeled target domain when given a labeled source domain dataset. To achieve this goal, our proposed Pose Disentanglement and Adaptation Network (PDA-Net) aims at learning deep …

Going Deeper into Semi-supervised Person Re-identification

Person re-identification is the challenging task of identifying a person across different camera views. Training a convolutional neural network (CNN) for this task requires annotating a large dataset, and hence, it involves the time-consuming manual matching of people across cameras. To reduce the need for labeled data, we focus on a semi-supervised approach that requires only a subset of the training data to be labeled. We conduct a comprehensive survey in the area of person re-identification with limited labels. Existing works in this realm are limited in the sense that they utilize features…

Enhancing Diversity in Teacher-Student Networks via Asymmetric branches for Unsupervised Person Re-identification

The objective of unsupervised person re-identification (Re-ID) is to learn discriminative features without labor-intensive identity annotations. State-of-the-art unsupervised Re-ID methods assign pseudo labels to unlabeled images in the target domain and learn from these noisy pseudo labels. Recently introduced Mean Teacher Model is a promising way to mitigate the label noise. However, during the training, self-ensembled teacher-student networks quickly converge to a consensus which leads to a local minimum. We explore the possibility of using an asymmetric structure inside neural network to a…

Domain Adaptive Person Re-Identification via Coupling Optimization

Domain adaptive person Re-Identification (ReID) is challenging owing to the domain gap and shortage of annotations on target scenarios. To handle those two challenges, this paper proposes a coupling optimization method including the Domain-Invariant Mapping (DIM) method and the Global-Local distance Optimization (GLO), respectively. Different from previous methods that transfer knowledge in two stages, the DIM achieves a more efficient one-stage knowledge transfer by mapping images in labeled and unlabeled datasets to a shared feature space. GLO is designed to train the ReID model with unsuper…

Hierarchical Clustering with Hard-batch Triplet Loss for Person Re-identification

For most unsupervised person re-identification (re-ID), people often adopt unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) method. UDA often train on the labeled source dataset and evaluate on the target dataset, which often focuses on learning differences between the source dataset and the target dataset to improve the generalization of the model. Base on these, we explore how to make use of the similarity of samples to conduct a fully unsupervised method which just trains on the unlabeled target dataset. Concretely, we propose a hierarchical clustering-guided re-ID (HCR) method. We use hierarchical clu…

Learning from Self-Discrepancy via Multiple Co-teaching for Cross-Domain Person Re-Identification

Employing clustering strategy to assign unlabeled target images with pseudo labels has become a trend for person re-identification (re-ID) algorithms in domain adaptation. A potential limitation of these clustering-based methods is that they always tend to introduce noisy labels, which will undoubtedly hamper the performance of our re-ID system. To handle this limitation, an intuitive solution is to utilize collaborative training to purify the pseudo label quality. However, there exists a challenge that the complementarity of two networks, which inevitably share a high similarity, becomes weak…

Identity Preserving Generative Adversarial Network for Cross-Domain Person Re-identification

Person re-identification is to retrieval pedestrian images from no-overlap camera views detected by pedestrian detectors. Most existing person re-identification (re-ID) models often fail to generalize well from the source domain where the models are trained to a new target domain without labels, because of the bias between the source and target domain. This issue significantly limits the scalability and usability of the models in the real world. Providing a labeled source training set and an unlabeled target training set, the aim of this paper is to improve the generalization ability of re-ID …

Dynamic Clustering and Cluster Contrastive Learning for Unsupervised Person Re-identification

Unsupervised Re-ID methods aim at learning robust and discriminative features from unlabeled data. However, existing methods often ignore the relationship between module parameters of Re-ID framework and feature distributions, which may lead to feature misalignment and hinder the model performance. To address this problem, we propose a dynamic clustering and cluster contrastive learning (DCCC) method. Specifically, we first design a dynamic clustering parameters scheduler (DCPS) which adjust the hyper-parameter of clustering to fit the variation of intra- and inter-class distances. Then, a dyn…

Part-based Pseudo Label Refinement for Unsupervised Person Re-identification

Unsupervised person re-identification (re-ID) aims at learning discriminative representations for person retrieval from unlabeled data. Recent techniques accomplish this task by using pseudo-labels, but these labels are inherently noisy and deteriorate the accuracy. To overcome this problem, several pseudo-label refinement methods have been proposed, but they neglect the fine-grained local context essential for person re-ID. In this paper, we propose a novel Part-based Pseudo Label Refinement (PPLR) framework that reduces the label noise by employing the complementary relationship between glob…

Unsupervised Person Re-identification via Softened Similarity Learning

Person re-identification (re-ID) is an important topic in computer vision. This paper studies the unsupervised setting of re-ID, which does not require any labeled information and thus is freely deployed to new scenarios. There are very few studies under this setting, and one of the best approach till now used iterative clustering and classification, so that unlabeled images are clustered into pseudo classes for a classifier to get trained, and the updated features are used for clustering and so on. This approach suffers two problems, namely, the difficulty of determining the number of cluster…

Lifelong Unsupervised Domain Adaptive Person Re-identification with Coordinated Anti-forgetting and Adaptation

Unsupervised domain adaptive person re-identification (ReID) has been extensively investigated to mitigate the adverse effects of domain gaps. Those works assume the target domain data can be accessible all at once. However, for the real-world streaming data, this hinders the timely adaptation to changing data statistics and sufficient exploitation of increasing samples. In this paper, to address more practical scenarios, we propose a new task, Lifelong Unsupervised Domain Adaptive (LUDA) person ReID. This is challenging because it requires the model to continuously adapt to unlabeled data in …

Multi-Domain Adversarial Feature Generalization for Person Re-Identification

With the assistance of sophisticated training methods applied to single labeled datasets, the performance of fully-supervised person re-identification (Person Re-ID) has been improved significantly in recent years. However, these models trained on a single dataset usually suffer from considerable performance degradation when applied to videos of a different camera network. To make Person Re-ID systems more practical and scalable, several cross-dataset domain adaptation methods have been proposed, which achieve high performance without the labeled data from the target domain. However, these app…

Self-Paced Uncertainty Estimation for One-shot Person Re-Identification

The one-shot Person Re-ID scenario faces two kinds of uncertainties when constructing the prediction model from $X$ to $Y$. The first is model uncertainty, which captures the noise of the parameters in DNNs due to a lack of training data. The second is data uncertainty, which can be divided into two sub-types: one is image noise, where severe occlusion and the complex background contain irrelevant information about the identity; the other is label noise, where mislabeled affects visual appearance learning. In this paper, to tackle these issues, we propose a novel Self-Paced Uncertainty Estimat…

Semi-Supervised Domain Generalizable Person Re-Identification

Existing person re-identification (re-id) methods are stuck when deployed to a new unseen scenario despite the success in cross-camera person matching. Recent efforts have been substantially devoted to domain adaptive person re-id where extensive unlabeled data in the new scenario are utilized in a transductive learning manner. However, for each scenario, it is required to first collect enough data and then train such a domain adaptive re-id model, thus restricting their practical application. Instead, we aim to explore multiple labeled datasets to learn generalized domain-invariant representa…

Learning Feature Fusion for Unsupervised Domain Adaptive Person Re-identification

Unsupervised domain adaptive (UDA) person re-identification (ReID) has gained increasing attention for its effectiveness on the target domain without manual annotations. Most fine-tuning based UDA person ReID methods focus on encoding global features for pseudo labels generation, neglecting the local feature that can provide for the fine-grained information. To handle this issue, we propose a Learning Feature Fusion (LF2) framework for adaptively learning to fuse global and local features to obtain a more comprehensive fusion feature representation. Specifically, we first pre-train our model w…

Joint Optimization in Edge-Cloud Continuum for Federated Unsupervised Person Re-identification

Person re-identification (ReID) aims to re-identify a person from non-overlapping camera views. Since person ReID data contains sensitive personal information, researchers have adopted federated learning, an emerging distributed training method, to mitigate the privacy leakage risks. However, existing studies rely on data labels that are laborious and time-consuming to obtain. We present FedUReID, a federated unsupervised person ReID system to learn person ReID models without any labels while preserving privacy. FedUReID enables in-situ model training on edges with unlabeled data. A cloud serv…

Attention: A Big Surprise for Cross-Domain Person Re-Identification

In this paper, we focus on model generalization and adaptation for cross-domain person re-identification (Re-ID). Unlike existing cross-domain Re-ID methods, leveraging the auxiliary information of those unlabeled target-domain data, we aim at enhancing the model generalization and adaptation by discriminative feature learning, and directly exploiting a pre-trained model to new domains (datasets) without any utilization of the information from target domains. To address the discriminative feature learning problem, we surprisingly find that simply introducing the attention mechanism to adaptive…

Adaptive Exploration for Unsupervised Person Re-Identification

Due to domain bias, directly deploying a deep person re-identification (re-ID) model trained on one dataset often achieves considerably poor accuracy on another dataset. In this paper, we propose an Adaptive Exploration (AE) method to address the domain-shift problem for re-ID in an unsupervised manner. Specifically, in the target domain, the re-ID model is inducted to 1) maximize distances between all person images and 2) minimize distances between similar person images. In the first case, by treating each person image as an individual class, a non-parametric classifier with a feature memory …

Generalizable Person Re-Identification via Self-Supervised Batch Norm Test-Time Adaption

In this paper, we investigate the generalization problem of person re-identification (re-id), whose major challenge is the distribution shift on an unseen domain. As an important tool of regularizing the distribution, batch normalization (BN) has been widely used in existing methods. However, they neglect that BN is severely biased to the training domain and inevitably suffers the performance drop if directly generalized without being updated. To tackle this issue, we propose Batch Norm Test-time Adaption (BNTA), a novel re-id framework that applies the self-supervised strategy to update BN pa…

ANL: Anti-Noise Learning for Cross-Domain Person Re-Identification

Due to the lack of labels and the domain diversities, it is a challenge to study person re-identification in the cross-domain setting. An admirable method is to optimize the target model by assigning pseudo-labels for unlabeled samples through clustering. Usually, attributed to the domain gaps, the pre-trained source domain model cannot extract appropriate target domain features, which will dramatically affect the clustering performance and the accuracy of pseudo-labels. Extensive label noise will lead to sub-optimal solutions doubtlessly. To solve these problems, we propose an Anti-Noise Lear…
