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
Mind the Gap: Subspace based Hierarchical Domain Adaptation
Domain adaptation techniques aim at adapting a classifier learnt on a source
domain to work on the target domain. Exploiting the subspaces spanned by
features of the source and target domains respectively is one approach that has
been investigated towards solving this problem. These techniques normally
assume the existence of a single subspace for the entire source / target
domain. In this work, we consider the hierarchical organization of the data and
consider multiple subspaces for the source and target domain based on the
hierarchy. We evaluate different subspace based domain adaptation techniques
under this setting and observe that using different subspaces based on the
hierarchy yields consistent improvement over a non-hierarchical baselineComment: 4 pages in Second Workshop on Transfer and Multi-Task Learning:
