Recent Advances in Transfer Learning for Cross-Dataset Visual Recognition: A Problem-Oriented Perspective
This paper takes a problem-oriented perspective and presents a comprehensive
review of transfer learning methods, both shallow and deep, for cross-dataset
visual recognition. Specifically, it categorises the cross-dataset recognition
into seventeen problems based on a set of carefully chosen data and label
attributes. Such a problem-oriented taxonomy has allowed us to examine how
different transfer learning approaches tackle each problem and how well each
problem has been researched to date. The comprehensive problem-oriented review
of the advances in transfer learning with respect to the problem has not only
revealed the challenges in transfer learning for visual recognition, but also
the problems (e.g. eight of the seventeen problems) that have been scarcely
studied. This survey not only presents an up-to-date technical review for
researchers, but also a systematic approach and a reference for a machine
learning practitioner to categorise a real problem and to look up for a
possible solution accordingly
Joint cross-domain classification and subspace learning for unsupervised adaptation
Domain adaptation aims at adapting the knowledge acquired on a source domain
to a new different but related target domain. Several approaches have
beenproposed for classification tasks in the unsupervised scenario, where no
labeled target data are available. Most of the attention has been dedicated to
searching a new domain-invariant representation, leaving the definition of the
prediction function to a second stage. Here we propose to learn both jointly.
Specifically we learn the source subspace that best matches the target subspace
while at the same time minimizing a regularized misclassification loss. We
provide an alternating optimization technique based on stochastic sub-gradient
descent to solve the learning problem and we demonstrate its performance on
several domain adaptation tasks.Comment: Paper is under consideration at Pattern Recognition Letter
Joint Geometrical and Statistical Alignment for Visual Domain Adaptation
This paper presents a novel unsupervised domain adaptation method for
cross-domain visual recognition. We propose a unified framework that reduces
the shift between domains both statistically and geometrically, referred to as
Joint Geometrical and Statistical Alignment (JGSA). Specifically, we learn two
coupled projections that project the source domain and target domain data into
low dimensional subspaces where the geometrical shift and distribution shift
are reduced simultaneously. The objective function can be solved efficiently in
a closed form. Extensive experiments have verified that the proposed method
significantly outperforms several state-of-the-art domain adaptation methods on
a synthetic dataset and three different real world cross-domain visual
recognition tasks
