Adversarial learning has been embedded into deep networks to learn disentangled and transferable representations for domain adaptation. Existing adversarial domain adaptation methods may not effectively align different domains of multimodal distributions native in classification problems. In this paper, we present conditional adversarial domain adaptation, a principled framework that conditions the adversarial adaptation models on discriminative information conveyed in the classifier predictions. Conditional domain adversarial networks (CDANs) are designed with two novel conditioning strategies: multilinear conditioning that captures the crosscovariance between feature representations and classifier predictions to improve the discriminability, and entropy conditioning that controls the uncertainty of classifier predictions to guarantee the transferability. With theoretical guarantees and a few lines of codes, the approach has exceeded state-of-the-art results on five datasets.

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.

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.

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。

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。

Domain adaptation enables the learner to safely generalize into novel environments by mitigating domain shifts across distributions. Previous works may not effectively uncover the underlying reasons that would lead to the drastic model degradation on the target task. In this paper, we empirically reveal that the erratic discrimination of the target domain mainly stems from its much smaller feature norms with respect to that of the source domain. To this end, we propose a novel parameter-free Adaptive Feature Norm approach. We demonstrate that progressively adapting the feature norms of the two domains to a large range of values can result in significant transfer gains, implying that those task-specific features with larger norms are more transferable. Our method successfully unifies the computation of both standard and partial domain adaptation with more robustness against the negative transfer issue. Without bells and whistles but a few lines of code, our method substantially lifts the performance on the target task and exceeds state-of-the-arts by a large margin (11.5% on Office-Home [45] and 17.1% on VisDA2017 [31]). We hope our simple yet effective approach will shed some light on the future research of transfer learning. Code is available at https://github.com/jihanyang/AFN .

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.

对抗性学习策略在处理单源域适应（DA）问题时表现出显着的性能，并且最近已应用于多源DA（MDA）问题。虽然大多数现有的MDA策略依赖于多个域歧视员设置，但其对潜伏空间表示的影响已经不知识。在这里，我们采用了一种信息 - 理论方法来识别和解决MDA上多个域鉴别器的潜在不利影响：域歧视信息的解体，有限的计算可扩展性以及培训期间损失梯度的大方差。我们在信息正规化的背景下通过情况进行对抗性DA来检查上述问题。这还提供了使用单一和统一域鉴别器的理论正当理由。基于这个想法，我们实施了一种名为多源信息正规化适应网络（MIAN）的新型神经结构。大规模实验表明，尽管其结构简洁，可靠，可显着优于其他最先进的方法。

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。

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.

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

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

This paper addresses the problem of unsupervised domain adaption from theoretical and algorithmic perspectives. Existing domain adaptation theories naturally imply minimax optimization algorithms, which connect well with the domain adaptation methods based on adversarial learning. However, several disconnections still exist and form the gap between theory and algorithm. We extend previous theories (Mansour et al., 2009c;Ben-David et al., 2010) to multiclass classification in domain adaptation, where classifiers based on the scoring functions and margin loss are standard choices in algorithm design. We introduce Margin Disparity Discrepancy, a novel measurement with rigorous generalization bounds, tailored to the distribution comparison with the asymmetric margin loss, and to the minimax optimization for easier training. Our theory can be seamlessly transformed into an adversarial learning algorithm for domain adaptation, successfully bridging the gap between theory and algorithm. A series of empirical studies show that our algorithm achieves the state of the art accuracies on challenging domain adaptation tasks.

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.

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.

在这项工作中，我们试图通过设计简单和紧凑的条件领域的逆势培训方法来解决无监督的域适应。我们首先重新审视简单的级联调节策略，其中特征与输出预测连接为鉴别器的输入。我们发现倾斜策略遭受了弱势调节力量。我们进一步证明扩大连接预测的规范可以有效地激励条件域对齐。因此，我们通过将输出预测标准化具有相同的特征的输出预测来改善连接调节，并且派生方法作为归一化输出调节器〜（名词）。然而，对域对齐的原始输出预测的调理，名词遭受目标域的不准确预测。为此，我们建议将原型空间中的跨域特征对齐方式而不是输出空间。将新的原型基于原型的调节与名词相结合，我们将增强方法作为基于原型的归一化输出调节器〜（代词）。对象识别和语义分割的实验表明，名词可以有效地对准域跨域的多模态结构，甚至优于最先进的域侵犯训练方法。与基于原型的调节一起，代词进一步提高了UDA的多个对象识别基准上的名词的适应性能。

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。

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

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.

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.
