LFM: Leveraging Foundation Models for Source-Free Universal Domain Adaptation

arXiv:2607. 17653v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Source-free universal domain adaptation (SF-UniDA) adapts a pre-trained source model to an unlabeled target domain under both covariate and label shifts, without access to source data.

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.

Domain Recentering and Confidence-Weighted Prior Calibration for Vision-Language Models

The paper introduces Domain Recentering with Confidence Calibration (DRC), a training‑free technique that adapts CLIP to unlabeled target images by fitting a Gaussian mixture and subtracting a posterior‑weighted average of component means from each embedding. It further corrects residual class bias using a log‑prior adjustment based on confidence‑weighted predictions. DRC outperforms other methods, raising average accuracy on cross‑domain datasets by 4.13 and 5.07 points over zero‑shot CLIP for ViT‑B/16 and ResNet‑50, and maintains gains under ImageNet distribution shifts.

Domain Recentering and Confidence-Weighted Prior Calibration for Vision-Language Models

The paper introduces Domain Recentering with Confidence Calibration (DRC), a training‑free technique that adapts CLIP to unlabeled target images by fitting a Gaussian mixture and applying posterior‑weighted mean subtraction, followed by a log‑prior correction based on confidence‑weighted predictions. DRC improves cross‑domain accuracy, surpassing zero‑shot CLIP by 4.13 and 5.07 points on ViT‑B/16 and ResNet‑50, and maintains gains under ImageNet distribution shifts.
