Adaptive Dual-Teacher Distillation with Subnetwork Rectification for Bridging Semantic Gaps in Black-Box Domain Adaptation

The paper introduces Adaptive Dual-Teacher Distillation with Subnetwork Rectification (DDSR), a method for black-box domain adaptation that fuses predictions from a black-box source model and a vision‑language model to generate reliable pseudo‑labels for the target domain. DDSR uses adaptive prediction fusion, subnetwork regularization to prevent overfitting, iterative refinement of pseudo‑labels and prompts, and class‑wise prototypes for self‑training. Experiments on several benchmark datasets show that DDSR outperforms existing state‑of‑the‑art approaches, even those that have access to source data or source model parameters.
