Abstract

We consider unsupervised domain adaptation: given labelled examples from a source domain and unlabelled examples from a related target domain, the goal is to infer the labels of target examples. Under the assumption that features from pre-trained deep neural networks are transferable across related domains, domain adaptation reduces to aligning source and target domain at class prediction uncertainty level. We tackle this problem by introducing a method based on adversarial learning which forces the label uncertainty predictions on the target domain to be indistinguishable from those on the source domain. Pre-trained deep neural networks are used to generate deep features having high transferability across related domains. We perform an extensive experimental analysis of the proposed method over a wide set of publicly available pre-trained deep neural networks. Results of our experiments on domain adaptation tasks for image classification show that class prediction uncertainty alignment with features extracted from pre-trained deep neural networks provides an efficient, robust and effective method for domain adaptation.
