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
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
Beyond Intra-modality: A Survey of Heterogeneous Person Re-identification
An efficient and effective person re-identification (ReID) system relieves
the users from painful and boring video watching and accelerates the process of
video analysis. Recently, with the explosive demands of practical applications,
a lot of research efforts have been dedicated to heterogeneous person
re-identification (Hetero-ReID). In this paper, we provide a comprehensive
review of state-of-the-art Hetero-ReID methods that address the challenge of
inter-modality discrepancies. According to the application scenario, we
classify the methods into four categories -- low-resolution, infrared, sketch,
and text. We begin with an introduction of ReID, and make a comparison between
Homogeneous ReID (Homo-ReID) and Hetero-ReID tasks. Then, we describe and
compare existing datasets for performing evaluations, and survey the models
that have been widely employed in Hetero-ReID. We also summarize and compare
the representative approaches from two perspectives, i.e., the application
scenario and the learning pipeline. We conclude by a discussion of some future
research directions. Follow-up updates are avaible at:
