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.

VPRef: A Cross-Domain Benchmark for Referring Remote Sensing Image Segmentation

The paper introduces VPRef, the first cross‑domain benchmark for Referring Remote Sensing Image Segmentation, containing 46,972 language‑image‑annotation triplets with a three‑tier linguistic hierarchy. It proposes a parameter‑efficient adaptation method based on the Segment Anything Model and Low‑Rank Adaptation, using pseudo‑label self‑training for visual drift and random multi‑granularity prompt mixing for textual drift. Experiments show the approach improves cross‑domain segmentation while altering only 1.08 % of the base model’s parameters, offering a strong baseline for future research.
