Joint Distribution Alignment for Universal Domain Adaptation

The paper introduces Joint Distribution Alignment for Universal Domain Adaptation (JAUA), a new algorithm designed for scenarios where source and target domains have differing label spaces. It provides a theoretical upper bound on generalization error for Universal Domain Adaptation and proposes aligning joint distributions using Chi‑Square divergence, complemented by a progressive pseudo‑labeling strategy. Experiments on six public image datasets show JAUA outperforms existing methods in handling Universal Domain Adaptation challenges.

Importance Weighting for Unlabeled-unlabeled Learning under Distribution Shift

This paper introduces a method for adapting unlabeled‑unlabeled (UU) learning to distribution shifts by applying importance weighting. The approach estimates weights from UU data in both training and test distributions to minimize test risk, enabling handling of various learning scenarios—including PU and noisy‑label learning—without assuming specific shift types. Experiments on real‑world datasets confirm the method’s effectiveness.

CPDA: Class-Conditional Path Distribution Alignment for Unsupervised Time-Series Domain Adaptation

arXiv:2608. 09193v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Unsupervised time-series domain adaptation (DA) addresses the challenge of transferring a classifier from a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain under distribution shifts induced by different users, sensors, devices, acquisition conditions, or temporal dynamics.

Towards Practical Algorithm Selection for Unsupervised Domain Adaptation in Medical Imaging

Numerous unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) algori-thms exist, but for clinical practice, selecting the best-suited one along with proper hyperparameters often remains unclear, as the unlabeled deployment (target) domain prevents direct evaluation. We propose a label-free criterion that jointly selects the algorithm and hyperparameters for UDA.
