Moment Matching for
Multi-Source Domain Adaptation

Abstract

Conventional unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) assumes that training data are sampled from a single domain. This neglects the more practical scenario where training data are collected from multiple sources, requiring multi-source domain adaptation. We make three major contributions towards addressing this problem. First, we propose a new deep learning approach, Moment Matching for Multi-Source Domain Adaptation (M3SDA), which aims to transfer knowledge learned from multiple labeled source domains to an unlabeled target domain by dynamically aligning moments of their feature distributions. Second, we provide a sound theoretical analysis of moment-related error bounds for multi-source domain adaptation. Third, we collect and annotate by far the largest UDA dataset with six distinct domains and approximately 0.6 million images distributed among 345 categories, addressing the gap in data availability for multi-source UDA research. Extensive experiments are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed model, which outperforms existing state-ofthe-art methods by a large margin.

Overview

DomainNet Dataset

Download

• We retain the clipart and painting subset as we are going to hold a domain adaptation challenge. These two domains will be used as the testing domain.
• Train/Test images are structured in folders as {domain}/{cateogory}/{object_id}.jpg (or .png)
