Domain adaptation has become an attractive learning paradigm, as it can leverage source domains with rich labels to deal with classification tasks in an unlabeled target domain. A few recent studies develop domain adaptation approaches for graph-structured data. In the case of node classification task, current domain adaptation methods only focus on the closed-set setting, where source and target domains share the same label space. A more practical assumption is that the target domain may contain new classes that are not included in the source domain. Therefore, in this paper, we introduce a novel and challenging problem for graphs, i.e., open-set domain adaptive node classification, and propose a new approach to solve it. Specifically, we develop an algorithm for efficient knowledge transfer from a labeled source graph to an unlabeled target graph under a separate domain alignment (SDA) strategy, in order to learn discriminative feature representations for the target graph. Our goal is to not only correctly classify target nodes into the known classes, but also classify unseen types of nodes into an unknown class. Experimental results on real-world datasets show that our method outperforms existing methods on graph domain adaptation.

Partial Domain Adaptation Using Selective Representation Learning For Class-Weight Computation
The generalization power of deep-learning models is dependent on rich-labelled data. This supervision using large-scaled annotated information is restrictive in most realworld scenarios where data collection and their annotation involve huge cost. Various domain adaptation techniques exist in literature that bridge this distribution discrepancy. However, a majority of these models require the label sets of both the domains to be identical. To tackle a more practical and challenging scenario, we formulate the problem statement from a partial domain adaptation perspective, where the source label set is a super set of the target label set. Driven by the motivation that image styles are private to each domain, in this work, we develop a method that identifies outlier classes exclusively from image content information and train a label classifier exclusively on class-content from source images. Additionally, elimination of negative transfer of samples from classes private to the source domain is achieved by transforming the soft class-level weights into two clusters, 0 (outlier source classes) and 1 (shared classes) by maximizing the between-cluster variance between them.

null (Ed.)Domain adaptation aims to correct the classifiers when faced with distribution shift between source (training) and target (test) domains. State-of-the-art domain adaptation methods make use of deep networks to extract domain-invariant representations. However, existing methods assume that all the instances in the source domain are correctly labeled; while in reality, it is unsurprising that we may obtain a source domain with noisy labels. In this paper, we are the first to comprehensively investigate how label noise could adversely affect existing domain adaptation methods in various scenarios. Further, we theoretically prove that there exists a method that can essentially reduce the side-effect of noisy source labels in domain adaptation. Specifically, focusing on the generalized target shift scenario, where both label distribution ππ and the class-conditional distribution ππ|π can change, we discover that the denoising Conditional Invariant Component (DCIC) framework can provably ensures (1) extracting invariant representations given examples with noisy labels in the source domain and unlabeled examples in the target domain and (2) estimating the label distribution in the target domain with no bias. Experimental results on both synthetic and real-world data verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.more » « less

We introduce the problem of domain adaptation under Open Set Label Shift (OSLS) where the label distribution can change arbitrarily and a new class may arrive during deployment, but the class-conditional distributions p(x|y) are domain-invariant. OSLS subsumes domain adaptation under label shift and Positive-Unlabeled (PU) learning. The learner's goals here are two-fold: (a) estimate the target label distribution, including the novel class; and (b) learn a target classifier. First, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for identifying these quantities. Second, motivated by advances in label shift and PU learning, we propose practical methods for both tasks that leverage black-box predictors. Unlike typical Open Set Domain Adaptation (OSDA) problems, which tend to be ill-posed and amenable only to heuristics, OSLS offers a well-posed problem amenable to more principled machinery. Experiments across numerous semi-synthetic benchmarks on vision, language, and medical datasets demonstrate that our methods consistently outperform OSDA baselines, achieving 10--25% improvements in target domain accuracy. Finally, we analyze the proposed methods, establishing finite-sample convergence to the true label marginal and convergence to optimal classifier for linear models in a Gaussian setup.more » « less

Classification models trained on data from one source may underperform when tested on data acquired from different sources due to shifts in data distributions, which limit the modelsβ generalizability in real-world applications. Domain adaptation methods proposed to align such shifts in source-target data distributions use contrastive learning or adversarial techniques with or without internal cluster alignment. The intracluster alignment is performed using standalone k-means clustering on image embedding. This paper introduces a novel deep clustering approach to align cluster distributions in tandem with adapting source and target data distributions. Our method learns and aligns a mixture of cluster distributions in the unlabeled target domain with those in the source domain in a unified deep representation learning framework. Experiments demonstrate that intra-cluster alignment improves classification accuracy in nine out of ten domain adaptation examples. These improvements range between 0.3% and 2.0% compared to k-means clustering of embedding and between 0.4% and 5.8% compared to methods without class-level alignment. Unlike current domain adaptation methods, the proposed cluster distribution-based deep learning provides a quantitative and explainable measure of distribution shifts in data domains. We have publicly shared the source code for the algorithm implementation.more » « less

Building speech emotion recognition (SER) models for low-resource languages is challenging due to the scarcity of labeled speech data. This limitation mandates the development of cross-lingual unsupervised domain adaptation techniques to effectively utilize labeled data from resource-rich languages. Inspired by the TransVQA framework, we propose a method that leverages a shared quantized feature space to enable knowledge transfer between labeled and unlabeled data across languages. The approach utilizes a quantized codebook to capture shared features, while reducing the domain gap, and aligning class distributions, thereby improving classification accuracy. Additionally, an information loss (InfoLoss) mechanism mitigates critical information loss during quantization. InfoLoss achieves this goal by minimizing the loss within the simplex of posterior class label distributions. The proposed method demonstrates superior performance compared to state-of-the-art baseline approaches.
