Abstract
En 中文
Transfer learning becomes an attractive technology to tackle a task from a target domain by leveraging previously acquired knowledge from a similar domain (source domain). Many existing transfer learning methods focus on learning one discriminator with single-source domain. Sometimes, knowledge from single-source domain might not be enough for predicting the target task. Thus, multiple source domains carrying richer transferable information are considered to complete the target task. Although there are some previous studies dealing with multi-source domain adaptation, these methods commonly combine source predictions by averaging source performances. Different source domains contain different transferable information; they may contribute differently to a target domain compared with each other. Hence, the source contribution should be taken into account when predicting a target task. In this article, we propose a novel multi-source contribution learning method for domain adaptation (MSCLDA). As proposed, the similarities and diversities of domains are learned simultaneously by extracting multi-view features. One view represents common features (similarities) among all domains. Other views represent different characteristics (diversities) in a target domain; each characteristic is expressed by features extracted in a source domain. Then multi-level distribution matching is employed to improve the transferability of latent features, aiming to reduce misclassification of boundary samples by maximizing discrepancy between different classes and minimizing discrepancy between the same classes. Concurrently, when completing a target task by combining source predictions, instead of averaging source predictions or weighting sources using normalized similarities, the original weights learned by normalizing similarities between source and target domains are adjusted using pseudo target labels to increase the disparities of weight values, which is desired to improve the performance of the final target predictor if the predictions of sources exist significant difference. Experiments on real-world visual data sets demonstrate the superiorities of our proposed method.
