As a new classification platform, deep learning has recently received increasing attention from researchers and has been successfully applied to many domains. In some domains, like bioinformatics and robotics, it is very difficult to construct a large-scale well-annotated dataset due to the expense of data acquisition and costly annotation, which limits its development. Transfer learning relaxes the hypothesis that the training data must be independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) with the test data, which motivates us to use transfer learning to solve the problem of insufficient training data. This survey focuses on reviewing the current researches of transfer learning by using deep neural network and its applications. We defined deep transfer learning, category and review the recent research works based on the techniques used in deep transfer learning.

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。

Deep domain adaptation has emerged as a new learning technique to address the lack of massive amounts of labeled data. Compared to conventional methods, which learn shared feature subspaces or reuse important source instances with shallow representations, deep domain adaptation methods leverage deep networks to learn more transferable representations by embedding domain adaptation in the pipeline of deep learning. There have been comprehensive surveys for shallow domain adaptation, but few timely reviews the emerging deep learning based methods. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of deep domain adaptation methods for computer vision applications with four major contributions. First, we present a taxonomy of different deep domain adaptation scenarios according to the properties of data that define how two domains are diverged. Second, we summarize deep domain adaptation approaches into several categories based on training loss, and analyze and compare briefly the state-of-the-art methods under these categories. Third, we overview the computer vision applications that go beyond image classification, such as face recognition, semantic segmentation and object detection. Fourth, some potential deficiencies of current methods and several future directions are highlighted.

The recent success of deep neural networks relies on massive amounts of labeled data. For a target task where labeled data is unavailable, domain adaptation can transfer a learner from a different source domain. In this paper, we propose a new approach to domain adaptation in deep networks that can jointly learn adaptive classifiers and transferable features from labeled data in the source domain and unlabeled data in the target domain. We relax a shared-classifier assumption made by previous methods and assume that the source classifier and target classifier differ by a residual function. We enable classifier adaptation by plugging several layers into deep network to explicitly learn the residual function with reference to the target classifier. We fuse features of multiple layers with tensor product and embed them into reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces to match distributions for feature adaptation. The adaptation can be achieved in most feed-forward models by extending them with new residual layers and loss functions, which can be trained efficiently via back-propagation. Empirical evidence shows that the new approach outperforms state of the art methods on standard domain adaptation benchmarks.

Transfer learning aims at improving the performance of target learners on target domains by transferring the knowledge contained in different but related source domains. In this way, the dependence on a large number of target domain data can be reduced for constructing target learners. Due to the wide application prospects, transfer learning has become a popular and promising area in machine learning. Although there are already some valuable and impressive surveys on transfer learning, these surveys introduce approaches in a relatively isolated way and lack the recent advances in transfer learning. Due to the rapid expansion of the transfer learning area, it is both necessary and challenging to comprehensively review the relevant studies. This survey attempts to connect and systematize the existing transfer learning researches, as well as to summarize and interpret the mechanisms and the strategies of transfer learning in a comprehensive way, which may help readers have a better understanding of the current research status and ideas. Unlike previous surveys, this survey paper reviews more than forty representative transfer learning approaches, especially homogeneous transfer learning approaches, from the perspectives of data and model. The applications of transfer learning are also briefly introduced. In order to show the performance of different transfer learning models, over twenty representative transfer learning models are used for experiments. The models are performed on three different datasets, i.e., Amazon Reviews, Reuters-21578, and Office-31. And the experimental results demonstrate the importance of selecting appropriate transfer learning models for different applications in practice.

最近的智能故障诊断（IFD）的进展大大依赖于深度代表学习和大量标记数据。然而，机器通常以各种工作条件操作，或者目标任务具有不同的分布，其中包含用于训练的收集数据（域移位问题）。此外，目标域中的新收集的测试数据通常是未标记的，导致基于无监督的深度转移学习（基于UDTL为基础的）IFD问题。虽然它已经实现了巨大的发展，但标准和开放的源代码框架以及基于UDTL的IFD的比较研究尚未建立。在本文中，我们根据不同的任务，构建新的分类系统并对基于UDTL的IFD进行全面审查。对一些典型方法和数据集的比较分析显示了基于UDTL的IFD中的一些开放和基本问题，这很少研究，包括特征，骨干，负转移，物理前导等的可转移性，强调UDTL的重要性和再现性 - 基于IFD，整个测试框架将发布给研究界以促进未来的研究。总之，发布的框架和比较研究可以作为扩展界面和基本结果，以便对基于UDTL的IFD进行新的研究。代码框架可用于\ url {https:/github.com/zhaozhibin/udtl}。

Domain adaptation aims at generalizing a high-performance learner on a target domain via utilizing the knowledge distilled from a source domain which has a different but related data distribution. One solution to domain adaptation is to learn domain invariant feature representations while the learned representations should also be discriminative in prediction. To learn such representations, domain adaptation frameworks usually include a domain invariant representation learning approach to measure and reduce the domain discrepancy, as well as a discriminator for classification. Inspired by Wasserstein GAN, in this paper we propose a novel approach to learn domain invariant feature representations, namely Wasserstein Distance Guided Representation Learning (WD-GRL). WDGRL utilizes a neural network, denoted by the domain critic, to estimate empirical Wasserstein distance between the source and target samples and optimizes the feature extractor network to minimize the estimated Wasserstein distance in an adversarial manner. The theoretical advantages of Wasserstein distance for domain adaptation lie in its gradient property and promising generalization bound. Empirical studies on common sentiment and image classification adaptation datasets demonstrate that our proposed WDGRL outperforms the state-of-the-art domain invariant representation learning approaches.

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。

Deep networks have been successfully applied to learn transferable features for adapting models from a source domain to a different target domain.In this paper, we present joint adaptation networks (JAN), which learn a transfer network by aligning the joint distributions of multiple domain-specific layers across domains based on a joint maximum mean discrepancy (JMMD) criterion. Adversarial training strategy is adopted to maximize JMMD such that the distributions of the source and target domains are made more distinguishable. Learning can be performed by stochastic gradient descent with the gradients computed by back-propagation in linear-time. Experiments testify that our model yields state of the art results on standard datasets.

Recent studies reveal that a deep neural network can learn transferable features which generalize well to novel tasks for domain adaptation. However, as deep features eventually transition from general to specific along the network, the feature transferability drops significantly in higher layers with increasing domain discrepancy. Hence, it is important to formally reduce the dataset bias and enhance the transferability in task-specific layers. In this paper, we propose a new Deep Adaptation Network (DAN) architecture, which generalizes deep convolutional neural network to the domain adaptation scenario. In DAN, hidden representations of all task-specific layers are embedded in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space where the mean embeddings of different domain distributions can be explicitly matched. The domain discrepancy is further reduced using an optimal multi-kernel selection method for mean embedding matching. DAN can learn transferable features with statistical guarantees, and can scale linearly by unbiased estimate of kernel embedding. Extensive empirical evidence shows that the proposed architecture yields state-of-the-art image classification error rates on standard domain adaptation benchmarks.

深度学习已成为解决不同领域中现实世界中问题的首选方法，部分原因是它能够从数据中学习并在广泛的应用程序上实现令人印象深刻的性能。但是，它的成功通常取决于两个假设：（i）精确模型拟合需要大量标记的数据集，并且（ii）培训和测试数据是独立的且分布相同的。因此，不能保证它在看不见的目标域上的性能，尤其是在适应阶段遇到分布数据的数据时。目标域中数据的性能下降是部署深层神经网络的关键问题，这些网络已成功地在源域中的数据训练。通过利用标记的源域数据和未标记的目标域数据来执行目标域中的各种任务，提出了无监督的域适应（UDA）来对抗这一点。 UDA在自然图像处理，视频分析，自然语言处理，时间序列数据分析，医学图像分析等方面取得了令人鼓舞的结果。在本综述中，作为一个快速发展的主题，我们对其方法和应用程序进行了系统的比较。此外，还讨论了UDA与其紧密相关的任务的联系，例如域的概括和分布外检测。此外，突出显示了当前方法和可能有希望的方向的缺陷。

半监督域适应（SSDA）是一种具有挑战性的问题，需要克服1）以朝向域的较差的数据和2）分布换档的方法。不幸的是，由于培训数据偏差朝标标样本训练，域适应（DA）和半监督学习（SSL）方法的简单组合通常无法解决这两个目的。在本文中，我们介绍了一种自适应结构学习方法，以规范SSL和DA的合作。灵感来自多视图学习，我们建议的框架由共享特征编码器网络和两个分类器网络组成，用于涉及矛盾的目的。其中，其中一个分类器被应用于组目标特征以提高级别的密度，扩大了鲁棒代表学习的分类集群的间隙。同时，其他分类器作为符号器，试图散射源功能以增强决策边界的平滑度。目标聚类和源扩展的迭代使目标特征成为相应源点的扩张边界内的封闭良好。对于跨域特征对齐和部分标记的数据学习的联合地址，我们应用最大平均差异（MMD）距离最小化和自培训（ST）将矛盾结构投影成共享视图以进行可靠的最终决定。对标准SSDA基准的实验结果包括Domainnet和Office-Home，展示了我们对最先进的方法的方法的准确性和稳健性。

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。

转移学习使我们能够利用从一项任务中获得的知识来协助解决另一个或相关任务。在现代计算机视觉研究中，问题是哪个架构对给定的数据集更好地表现更好。在本文中，我们将14种预先训练的Imagenet模型的性能进行比较在组织病理学癌症检测数据集上，其中每个模型都被配置为天真的模型，特征提取器模型或微调模型。DENSENET161已被证明具有高精度，而RESET101具有高召回。适用于后续检查成本高的高精度模型，而低精度，但在后续检查成本低时，可以使用高召回/灵敏度模型。结果还表明，转移学习有助于更快地收敛模型。

Deep learning has produced state-of-the-art results for a variety of tasks. While such approaches for supervised learning have performed well, they assume that training and testing data are drawn from the same distribution, which may not always be the case. As a complement to this challenge, single-source unsupervised domain adaptation can handle situations where a network is trained on labeled data from a source domain and unlabeled data from a related but different target domain with the goal of performing well at test-time on the target domain. Many single-source and typically homogeneous unsupervised deep domain adaptation approaches have thus been developed, combining the powerful, hierarchical representations from deep learning with domain adaptation to reduce reliance on potentially-costly target data labels. This survey will compare these approaches by examining alternative methods, the unique and common elements, results, and theoretical insights. We follow this with a look at application areas and open research directions.

基于深度学习的路面裂缝检测方法通常需要大规模标签，具有详细的裂缝位置信息来学习准确的预测。然而，在实践中，由于路面裂缝的各种视觉模式，裂缝位置很难被手动注释。在本文中，我们提出了一种基于深域适应的裂缝检测网络（DDACDN），其学会利用源域知识来预测目标域中的多类别裂缝位置信息，其中仅是图像级标签可用的。具体地，DDACDN首先通过双分支权重共享骨干网络从源和目标域中提取裂缝特征。并且在实现跨域自适应的努力中，通过从每个域的特征空间聚合三尺度特征来构建中间域，以使来自源域的裂缝特征适应目标域。最后，该网络涉及两个域的知识，并接受识别和本地化路面裂缝的培训。为了便于准确的培训和验证域适应，我们使用两个具有挑战性的路面裂缝数据集CQu-BPDD和RDD2020。此外，我们构建了一个名为CQu-BPMDD的新型大型沥青路面多标签疾病数据集，其中包含38994个高分辨率路面疾病图像，以进一步评估模型的稳健性。广泛的实验表明，DDACDN优于最先进的路面裂纹检测方法，以预测目标结构域的裂缝位置。

机器学习系统通常假设训练和测试分布是相同的。为此，关键要求是开发可以概括到未经看不见的分布的模型。领域泛化（DG），即分销概括，近年来引起了越来越令人利益。域概括处理了一个具有挑战性的设置，其中给出了一个或几个不同但相关域，并且目标是学习可以概括到看不见的测试域的模型。多年来，域概括地区已经取得了巨大进展。本文提出了对该地区最近进步的首次审查。首先，我们提供了域泛化的正式定义，并讨论了几个相关领域。然后，我们彻底审查了与域泛化相关的理论，并仔细分析了泛化背后的理论。我们将最近的算法分为三个类：数据操作，表示学习和学习策略，并为每个类别详细介绍几种流行的算法。第三，我们介绍常用的数据集，应用程序和我们的开放源代码库进行公平评估。最后，我们总结了现有文学，并为未来提供了一些潜在的研究主题。

脑电图（EEG）解码旨在识别基于非侵入性测量的脑活动的神经处理的感知，语义和认知含量。当应用于在静态，受控的实验室环境中获取的数据时，传统的EEG解码方法取得了适度的成功。然而，开放世界的环境是一个更现实的环境，在影响EEG录音的情况下，可以意外地出现，显着削弱了现有方法的鲁棒性。近年来，由于其在特征提取的卓越容量，深入学习（DL）被出现为潜在的解决方案。它克服了使用浅架构提取的“手工制作”功能或功能的限制，但通常需要大量的昂贵，专业标记的数据 - 并不总是可获得的。结合具有域特定知识的DL可能允许开发即使具有小样本数据，也可以开发用于解码大脑活动的鲁棒方法。虽然已经提出了各种DL方法来解决EEG解码中的一些挑战，但目前缺乏系统的教程概述，特别是对于开放世界应用程序。因此，本文为开放世界EEG解码提供了对DL方法的全面调查，并确定了有前途的研究方向，以激发现实世界应用中的脑电图解码的未来研究。

Deep learning has been the answer to many machine learning problems during the past two decades. However, it comes with two major constraints: dependency on extensive labeled data and training costs. Transfer learning in deep learning, known as Deep Transfer Learning (DTL), attempts to reduce such dependency and costs by reusing an obtained knowledge from a source data/task in training on a target data/task. Most applied DTL techniques are network/model-based approaches. These methods reduce the dependency of deep learning models on extensive training data and drastically decrease training costs. As a result, researchers detected Covid-19 infection on chest X-Rays with high accuracy at the beginning of the pandemic with minimal data using DTL techniques. Also, the training cost reduction makes DTL viable on edge devices with limited resources. Like any new advancement, DTL methods have their own limitations, and a successful transfer depends on some adjustments for different scenarios. In this paper, we review the definition and taxonomy of deep transfer learning and well-known methods. Then we investigate the DTL approaches by reviewing recent applied DTL techniques in the past five years. Further, we review some experimental analyses of DTLs to learn the best practice for applying DTL in different scenarios. Moreover, the limitations of DTLs (catastrophic forgetting dilemma and overly biased pre-trained models) are discussed, along with possible solutions and research trends.
