Unsupervised Visual Domain Adaptation Using Subspace Alignment
International audienceIn this paper, we introduce a new domain adaptation (DA) algorithm where the source and target domains are represented by subspaces described by eigenvectors. In this context, our method seeks a domain invariant feature space by learning a mapping function which aligns the source subspace with the target one. We show that the solution of the corresponding optimization problem can be obtained in a simple closed form, leading to an extremely fast algorithm. We use a theoretical result to tune the unique hyperparameter corresponding to the size of the subspaces. We run our method on various datasets and show that, despite its intrinsic simplicity, it outperforms state of the art DA methods
Subspace Alignment Based Domain Adaptation for RCNN Detector
In this paper, we propose subspace alignment based domain adaptation of the
state of the art RCNN based object detector. The aim is to be able to achieve
high quality object detection in novel, real world target scenarios without
requiring labels from the target domain. While, unsupervised domain adaptation
has been studied in the case of object classification, for object detection it
has been relatively unexplored. In subspace based domain adaptation for
objects, we need access to source and target subspaces for the bounding box
features. The absence of supervision (labels and bounding boxes are absent)
makes the task challenging. In this paper, we show that we can still adapt sub-
spaces that are localized to the object by obtaining detections from the RCNN
detector trained on source and applied on target. Then we form localized
subspaces from the detections and show that subspace alignment based adaptation
between these subspaces yields improved object detection. This evaluation is
done by considering challenging real world datasets of PASCAL VOC as source and
validation set of Microsoft COCO dataset as target for various categories.Comment: 26th British Machine Vision Conference, Swansea, U
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:
