A Two-Way alignment approach for unsupervised multi-Source domain adaptation

作者:

Highlights:

• We introduce a two-way alignment framework for unsupervised multisource domain adaptation task. We first align the target and multiple source domains on domain-level by an adversarial learning process, and then reduce the domain gap on category-level by minimizing the distance between the category prototypes and target instances with a minimax entropy loss.

• We propose an instance weighting strategy to mitigate the impact of instance variations inside each domain.

• Experimental results on several datasets demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm to several state-of-the-art approaches.
