Learning the Roots of Visual Domain Shift
In this paper we focus on the spatial nature of visual domain shift,
attempting to learn where domain adaptation originates in each given image of
the source and target set. We borrow concepts and techniques from the CNN
visualization literature, and learn domainnes maps able to localize the degree
of domain specificity in images. We derive from these maps features related to
different domainnes levels, and we show that by considering them as a
preprocessing step for a domain adaptation algorithm, the final classification
performance is strongly improved. Combined with the whole image representation,
these features provide state of the art results on the Office dataset.Comment: Extended Abstrac
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
