Abstract:
Approaches presented herein provide for unsupervised domain transfer learning. In particular, three neural networks can be trained together using at least labeled data from a first domain and unlabeled data from a second domain. Features of the data are extracted using a feature extraction network. A first classifier network uses these features to classify the data, while a second classifier network uses these features to determine the relevant domain. A combined loss function is used to optimize the networks, with a goal of the feature extraction network extracting features that the first classifier network is able to use to accurately classify the data, but prevent the second classifier from determining the domain for the image. Such optimization enables object classification to be performed with high accuracy for either domain, even though there may have been little to no labeled training data for the second domain.
