Abstract

En 中文

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) has been successfully applied to transfer knowledge from a labeled source domain to target domains without their labels. Recently introduced transferable prototypical networks (TPNs) further address class-wise conditional alignment. In TPN, while the closeness of class centers between source and target domains is explicitly enforced in a latent space, the underlying fine-grained subtype structure and the cross-domain within-class compactness have not been fully investigated. To counter this, we propose a new approach to adaptively perform a fine-grained subtype-aware alignment to improve the performance in the target domain without the subtype label in both domains. The insight of our approach is that the unlabeled subtypes in a class have the local proximity within a subtype while exhibiting disparate characteristics because of different conditional and label shifts. Specifically, we propose to simultaneously enforce subtype-wise compactness and class-wise separation, by utilizing intermediate pseudo-labels. In addition, we systematically investigate various scenarios with and without prior knowledge of subtype numbers and propose to exploit the underlying subtype structure. Furthermore, a dynamic queue framework is developed to evolve the subtype cluster centroids steadily using an alternative processing scheme. Experimental results, carried out with multiview congenital heart disease data and VisDA and DomainNet, show the effectiveness and validity of our subtype-aware UDA, compared with state-of-the-art UDA methods.
