AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing unsupervised domain adaptation methods misclassify difficult samples in the target domain, resulting in insufficient classification performance and an inability to effectively distinguish between easy and difficult samples.

Method used

By distinguishing between simple and difficult samples based on the entropy value of the target domain samples, pseudo-labels are assigned to simple samples using the classifier trained in the source domain, and the classifier is retrained using the source domain labels and simple samples in the target domain. Class centers are calculated to optimize the alignment between domains and instances, thereby reducing differences between and within domains.

Benefits of technology

It improves the model's generalization ability and classification accuracy, enhances the learning effect on difficult samples in the target domain, and strengthens the robustness of the classifier.

Abstract

The application discloses an unsupervised domain adaptation method for distinguishing simple samples from difficult samples, comprising the following steps: distinguishing target domain samples according to the entropy values of the target domain samples, defining samples with entropy values greater than or equal to a preset entropy threshold value as simple samples, and defining samples with entropy values less than the preset entropy threshold value as difficult samples; for the target domain samples classified as simple samples, a well-trained classifier of a source domain is used to assign pseudo labels to the target domain samples; for the target domain samples classified as difficult samples, the unsupervised domain adaptation is adjusted to semi-supervised domain adaptation by using the simple samples with assigned pseudo labels in step S2, a more robust classifier is trained by using the source domain labels and the labels of the simple samples of the target domain, the class centers are calculated, and the inter-domain contrast alignment and the instance contrast alignment are respectively optimized to reduce the inter-domain and intra-domain differences. The application can solve the problem of classification errors of difficult samples in the target domain in the existing domain adaptation method.
