Recent works on domain adaptation reveal the effectiveness of adversarial learning on filling the discrepancy between source and target domains. However, two common limitations exist in current adversarial-learning-based methods. First, samples from two domains alone are not sufficient to ensure domain-invariance at most part of latent space. Second, the domain discriminator involved in these methods can only judge real or fake with the guidance of hard label, while it is more reasonable to use soft scores to evaluate the generated images or features, i.e., to fully utilize the inter-domain information. In this paper, we present adversarial domain adaptation with domain mixup (DM-ADA), which guarantees domain-invariance in a more continuous latent space and guides the domain discriminator in judging samples' difference relative to source and target domains. Domain mixup is jointly conducted on pixel and feature level to improve the robustness of models. Extensive experiments prove that the proposed approach can achieve superior performance on tasks with various degrees of domain shift and data complexity.

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.

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。

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.

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。

Adversarial learning methods are a promising approach to training robust deep networks, and can generate complex samples across diverse domains. They also can improve recognition despite the presence of domain shift or dataset bias: several adversarial approaches to unsupervised domain adaptation have recently been introduced, which reduce the difference between the training and test domain distributions and thus improve generalization performance. Prior generative approaches show compelling visualizations, but are not optimal on discriminative tasks and can be limited to smaller shifts. Prior discriminative approaches could handle larger domain shifts, but imposed tied weights on the model and did not exploit a GAN-based loss. We first outline a novel generalized framework for adversarial adaptation, which subsumes recent state-of-the-art approaches as special cases, and we use this generalized view to better relate the prior approaches. We propose a previously unexplored instance of our general framework which combines discriminative modeling, untied weight sharing, and a GAN loss, which we call Adversarial Discriminative Domain Adaptation (ADDA). We show that ADDA is more effective yet considerably simpler than competing domain-adversarial methods, and demonstrate the promise of our approach by exceeding state-of-the-art unsupervised adaptation results on standard cross-domain digit classification tasks and a new more difficult cross-modality object classification task.

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。

域的适应性（DA）旨在将知识从标记的源域中学习的知识转移到未标记或标记较小但相关的目标域的知识。理想情况下，源和目标分布应彼此平等地对齐，以实现公正的知识转移。但是，由于源和目标域中注释数据的数量之间存在显着不平衡，通常只有目标分布与源域保持一致，从而使不必要的源特定知识适应目标域，即偏置域的适应性。为了解决此问题，在这项工作中，我们通过对基于对抗性的DA方法进行建模来对歧视器的不确定性进行建模，以优化无偏见转移。我们理论上分析了DA中提出的无偏可传递性学习方法的有效性。此外，为了减轻注释数据不平衡的影响，我们利用了目标域中未标记样品的伪标签选择的估计不确定性，这有助于实现更好的边际和条件分布在域之间的分布。对各种DA基准数据集的广泛实验结果表明，可以轻松地将所提出的方法纳入各种基于对抗性的DA方法中，从而实现最新的性能。

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.

In recent years, machine learning has achieved impressive results across different application areas. However, machine learning algorithms do not necessarily perform well on a new domain with a different distribution than its training set. Domain Adaptation (DA) is used to mitigate this problem. One approach of existing DA algorithms is to find domain invariant features whose distributions in the source domain are the same as their distribution in the target domain. In this paper, we propose to let the classifier that performs the final classification task on the target domain learn implicitly the invariant features to perform classification. It is achieved via feeding the classifier during training generated fake samples that are similar to samples from both the source and target domains. We call these generated samples domain-agnostic samples. To accomplish this we propose a novel variation of generative adversarial networks (GAN), called the MiddleGAN, that generates fake samples that are similar to samples from both the source and target domains, using two discriminators and one generator. We extend the theory of GAN to show that there exist optimal solutions for the parameters of the two discriminators and one generator in MiddleGAN, and empirically show that the samples generated by the MiddleGAN are similar to both samples from the source domain and samples from the target domain. We conducted extensive evaluations using 24 benchmarks; on the 24 benchmarks, we compare MiddleGAN against various state-of-the-art algorithms and outperform the state-of-the-art by up to 20.1\% on certain benchmarks.

无监督的域适应性（UDA）引起了相当大的关注，这将知识从富含标签的源域转移到相关但未标记的目标域。减少域间差异一直是提高UDA性能的关键因素，尤其是对于源域和目标域之间存在较大差距的任务。为此，我们提出了一种新颖的风格感知功能融合方法（SAFF），以弥合大域间隙和转移知识，同时减轻阶级歧视性信息的丧失。受到人类传递推理和学习能力的启发，研究了一种新颖的风格感知的自我互化领域（SSID），通过一系列中级辅助综合概念将两个看似无关的概念联系起来。具体而言，我们提出了一种新颖的SSID学习策略，该策略从源和目标域中选择样本作为锚点，然后随机融合这些锚的对象和样式特征，以生成具有标记和样式丰富的中级辅助功能以进行知识转移。此外，我们设计了一个外部存储库来存储和更新指定的标记功能，以获得稳定的类功能和班级样式功能。基于提议的内存库，内部和域间损耗功能旨在提高类识别能力和特征兼容性。同时，我们通过无限抽样模拟SSID的丰富潜在特征空间，并通过数学理论模拟损失函数的收敛性。最后，我们对常用的域自适应基准测试进行了全面的实验，以评估所提出的SAFF，并且实验结果表明，所提出的SAFF可以轻松地与不同的骨干网络结合在一起，并获得更好的性能作为插入插型模块。

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.

为了将训练有素的模型直接概括为看不见的目标域，域概括（DG）是一种新提出的学习范式，引起了很大的关注。以前的DG模型通常需要在训练过程中观察到的源域中的足够数量的带注释的样品。在本文中，我们放宽了有关完全注释的要求，并研究了半监督域的概括（SSDG），在训练过程中，只有一个源域与其他完全未标记的域一起完全注释。由于要解决观察到的源域之间的域间隙和预测看不见的目标域之间的挑战，我们提出了一个通过关节域吸引的标签和双分类器的新型深框架，以产生高质量的伪标记。具体来说，为了预测域移位下的准确伪标记，开发了一个域吸引的伪标记模块。此外，考虑到概括和伪标记之间的目标不一致：前者防止在所有源域上过度拟合，而后者可能过分适合未标记的源域，以高精度，我们采用双分类器来独立执行伪标记和域名，并在训练过程中执行伪造域通用化。 。当为未标记的源域生成准确的伪标记时，将域混合操作应用于标记和未标记域之间的新域，这对于提高模型的通用能力是有益的。公开可用的DG基准数据集的广泛结果显示了我们提出的SSDG方法的功效。

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。

Collecting well-annotated image datasets to train modern machine learning algorithms is prohibitively expensive for many tasks. An appealing alternative is to render 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 an unsupervised manner, a transformation in the pixel space from one domain to the other. Our generative adversarial network (GAN)-based model adapts source-domain images to appear as if drawn from the target domain. Our approach not only produces plausible samples, but also outperforms the state-of-the-art on a number of unsupervised domain adaptation scenarios by large margins. Finally, we demonstrate that the adaptation process generalizes to object classes unseen during training.

多源域适应（MSDA）着重于将知识从多个源域转移到目标域，这与常规的单源域适应性相比，这是一个更实用和具有挑战性的问题。在此问题中，必须共同对多个源域和目标域进行建模，并且也需要有效的域组合方案。不同领域之间的图形结构对于应对这些挑战很有用，在这些挑战中，可以有效地对各种实例/类别之间的相互依赖性进行建模。在这项工作中，我们提出了两种类型的图形模型，即MSDA（CRF-MSDA）的条件随机场和MSDA的Markov随机场（MRF-MSDA），用于跨域关节建模和可学习的域组合。简而言之，给定一个由查询样品和语义原型（即代表性类别嵌入）组成的观察集，CRF-MSDA模型旨在学习根据观测值调节标签的联合分布。我们通过在所有观察结果上构建一个关系图并进行当地消息来实现这一目标。相比之下，MRF-MSDA旨在通过基于能量的公式对观测值的联合分布进行建模，并且它可以通过求和几个特定网络的联合可能性来自然执行标签预测。与CRF-MSDA对应物相比，MRF-MSDA模型具有更高的表达性，并且具有较低的计算成本。我们在具有独特的域移位和数据复杂性的四个标准基准数据集上评估了这两个模型，并且两个模型都在所有基准测试基准上都具有优于现有方法的性能。此外，分析研究说明了不同模型成分的效果，并提供了有关跨域关节建模如何执行的见解。

通过从完全标记的源域中利用数据，无监督域适应（UDA）通过显式差异最小化数据分布或对抗学习来提高未标记的目标域上的分类性能。作为增强，通过利用模型预测来加强目标特征识别期间涉及类别对齐。但是，在目标域上的错误类别预测中产生的伪标签不准确以及由源域的过度录制引起的分发偏差存在未探明的问题。在本文中，我们提出了一种模型 - 不可知的两阶段学习框架，这大大减少了使用软伪标签策略的缺陷模型预测，并避免了课程学习策略的源域上的过度拟合。从理论上讲，它成功降低了目标域上预期误差的上限的综合风险。在第一阶段，我们用分布对齐的UDA方法训练一个模型，以获得具有相当高的置位目标域上的软语义标签。为了避免在源域上的过度拟合，在第二阶段，我们提出了一种课程学习策略，以自适应地控制来自两个域的损失之间的加权，以便训练阶段的焦点从源分布逐渐移位到目标分布，以预测信心提升了目标分布在目标领域。对两个知名基准数据集的广泛实验验证了我们提出框架促进促进顶级UDA算法的性能的普遍效果，并展示其一致的卓越性能。

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。

深度神经网络（DNN）在非参考图像质量评估（NR-IQA）方面具有巨大潜力。但是，NR-IQA的注释是劳动密集型且耗时的，这严重限制了其对真实图像的应用。为了减轻对质量注释的依赖，一些作品已将无监督的域适应性（UDA）应用于NR-IQA。但是，上述方法忽略了分类中使用的对齐空间是最佳选择，因为该空间不是为了感知而精心设计的。为了解决这一挑战，我们提出了一个有效的面向感知的无监督域适应方法，用于NR-IQA，该方法通过富含标签的源域数据将足够的知识转移到通过样式的对齐和混合的标签目标域图像。具体而言，我们发现了一个更紧凑，更可靠的空间，即基于有趣/惊人的观察结果，以感知为导向的UDA的特征样式空间，即DNN中深层的功能样式（即平均和差异）与DNN中的深层层完全相关NR-IQA的质量得分。因此，我们建议在更面向感知的空间（即特征样式空间）中对齐源和目标域，以减少其他质量 - Irretrelevant特征因素的干预措施。此外，为了提高质量得分与其功能样式之间的一致性，我们还提出了一种新颖的功能增强策略样式混音，将DNN的最后一层之前将功能样式（即平均值和差异）混合在一起，并混合使用标签。对两个典型的跨域设置（即合成至真实性和多种变形）的广泛实验结果证明了我们提出的styleam对NR-IQA的有效性。
