Adversarial Discriminative Domain Adaptation
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
A Novel Unsupervised Camera-aware Domain Adaptation Framework for Person Re-identification
Unsupervised cross-domain person re-identification (Re-ID) faces two key
issues. One is the data distribution discrepancy between source and target
domains, and the other is the lack of labelling information in target domain.
They are addressed in this paper from the perspective of representation
learning. For the first issue, we highlight the presence of camera-level
sub-domains as a unique characteristic of person Re-ID, and develop
camera-aware domain adaptation to reduce the discrepancy not only between
source and target domains but also across these sub-domains. For the second
issue, we exploit the temporal continuity in each camera of target domain to
create discriminative information. This is implemented by dynamically
generating online triplets within each batch, in order to maximally take
advantage of the steadily improved feature representation in training process.
Together, the above two methods give rise to a novel unsupervised deep domain
adaptation framework for person Re-ID. Experiments and ablation studies on
benchmark datasets demonstrate its superiority and interesting properties.Comment: Accepted by ICCV201
