MS-MT: Multi-Scale Mean Teacher with Contrastive Unpaired Translation for Cross-Modality Vestibular Schwannoma and Cochlea Segmentation
Domain shift has been a long-standing issue for medical image segmentation.
Recently, unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) methods have achieved promising
cross-modality segmentation performance by distilling knowledge from a
label-rich source domain to a target domain without labels. In this work, we
propose a multi-scale self-ensembling based UDA framework for automatic
segmentation of two key brain structures i.e., Vestibular Schwannoma (VS) and
Cochlea on high-resolution T2 images. First, a segmentation-enhanced
contrastive unpaired image translation module is designed for image-level
domain adaptation from source T1 to target T2. Next, multi-scale deep
supervision and consistency regularization are introduced to a mean teacher
network for self-ensemble learning to further close the domain gap.
Furthermore, self-training and intensity augmentation techniques are utilized
to mitigate label scarcity and boost cross-modality segmentation performance.
Our method demonstrates promising segmentation performance with a mean Dice
score of 83.8% and 81.4% and an average asymmetric surface distance (ASSD) of
0.55 mm and 0.26 mm for the VS and Cochlea, respectively in the validation
phase of the crossMoDA 2022 challenge.Comment: Accepted by BrainLes MICCAI proceedings (5th solution for MICCAI 2022
Cross-Modality Domain Adaptation (crossMoDA) Challenge
Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for Face Recognition in Unlabeled Videos
Despite rapid advances in face recognition, there remains a clear gap between
the performance of still image-based face recognition and video-based face
recognition, due to the vast difference in visual quality between the domains
and the difficulty of curating diverse large-scale video datasets. This paper
addresses both of those challenges, through an image to video feature-level
domain adaptation approach, to learn discriminative video frame
representations. The framework utilizes large-scale unlabeled video data to
reduce the gap between different domains while transferring discriminative
knowledge from large-scale labeled still images. Given a face recognition
network that is pretrained in the image domain, the adaptation is achieved by
(i) distilling knowledge from the network to a video adaptation network through
feature matching, (ii) performing feature restoration through synthetic data
augmentation and (iii) learning a domain-invariant feature through a domain
adversarial discriminator. We further improve performance through a
discriminator-guided feature fusion that boosts high-quality frames while
eliminating those degraded by video domain-specific factors. Experiments on the
YouTube Faces and IJB-A datasets demonstrate that each module contributes to
our feature-level domain adaptation framework and substantially improves video
face recognition performance to achieve state-of-the-art accuracy. We
demonstrate qualitatively that the network learns to suppress diverse artifacts
in videos such as pose, illumination or occlusion without being explicitly
trained for them.Comment: accepted for publication at International Conference on Computer

Cross-lingual Distillation for Text Classification
Cross-lingual text classification(CLTC) is the task of classifying documents
written in different languages into the same taxonomy of categories. This paper
presents a novel approach to CLTC that builds on model distillation, which
adapts and extends a framework originally proposed for model compression. Using
soft probabilistic predictions for the documents in a label-rich language as
the (induced) supervisory labels in a parallel corpus of documents, we train
classifiers successfully for new languages in which labeled training data are
not available. An adversarial feature adaptation technique is also applied
during the model training to reduce distribution mismatch. We conducted
experiments on two benchmark CLTC datasets, treating English as the source
language and German, French, Japan and Chinese as the unlabeled target
languages. The proposed approach had the advantageous or comparable performance
of the other state-of-art methods.Comment: Accepted at ACL 2017; Code available at

Multi-Source and Source-Private Cross-Domain Learning For Visual Recognition
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)Domain adaptation is one of the hottest directions in solving annotation insufficiency problem of deep learning. General domain adaptation is not consistent with the practical scenarios in the industry. In this thesis, we focus on two concerns as below.
First is that labeled data are generally collected from multiple domains. In other words, multi-source adaptation is a more common situation. Simply extending these single-source approaches to the multi-source cases could cause sub-optimal inference, so specialized multi-source adaptation methods are essential. The main challenge in the multi-source scenario is a more complex divergence situation. Not only the divergence between target and each source plays a role, but the divergences among distinct sources matter as well. However, the significance of maintaining consistency among multiple sources didn't gain enough attention in previous work. In this thesis, we propose an Enhanced Consistency Multi-Source Adaptation (EC-MSA) framework to address it from three perspectives. First, we mitigate feature-level discrepancy by cross-domain conditional alignment, narrowing the divergence between each source and target domain class-wisely. Second, we enhance multi-source consistency via dual mix-up, diminishing the disagreements among different sources. Third, we deploy a target distilling mechanism to handle the uncertainty of target prediction, aiming to provide high-quality pseudo-labeled target samples to benefit the previous two aspects. Extensive experiments are conducted on several common benchmark datasets and demonstrate that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.
Second is that data privacy and security is necessary in practice. That is, we hope to keep the raw data stored locally while can still obtain a satisfied model. In such a case, the risk of data leakage greatly decreases. Therefore, it is natural for us to combine the federated learning paradigm with domain adaptation. Under the source-private setting, the main challenge for us is to expose information from the source domain to the target domain while make sure that the communication process is safe enough. In this thesis, we propose a method named Fourier Transform-Assisted Federated Domain Adaptation (FTA-FDA) to alleviate the difficulties in two ways. We apply Fast Fourier Transform to the raw data and transfer only the amplitude spectra during the communication. Then frequency space interpolations between these two domains are conducted, minimizing the discrepancies while ensuring the contact of them and keeping raw data safe. What's more, we make prototype alignments by using the model weights together with target features, trying to reduce the discrepancy in the class level. Experiments on Office-31 demonstrate the effectiveness and competitiveness of our approach, and further analyses prove that our algorithm can help protect privacy and security
Transfer Learning for Speech and Language Processing
Transfer learning is a vital technique that generalizes models trained for
one setting or task to other settings or tasks. For example in speech
recognition, an acoustic model trained for one language can be used to
recognize speech in another language, with little or no re-training data.
Transfer learning is closely related to multi-task learning (cross-lingual vs.
multilingual), and is traditionally studied in the name of `model adaptation'.
Recent advance in deep learning shows that transfer learning becomes much
easier and more effective with high-level abstract features learned by deep
models, and the `transfer' can be conducted not only between data distributions
and data types, but also between model structures (e.g., shallow nets and deep
nets) or even model types (e.g., Bayesian models and neural models). This
review paper summarizes some recent prominent research towards this direction,
particularly for speech and language processing. We also report some results
from our group and highlight the potential of this very interesting research
field.Comment: 13 pages, APSIPA 201
