Spectral multivariate calibration aims to derive models characterizing mathematical relationships between sample analyte amounts and corresponding spectral responses. These models are effective at predicting target domain sample analyte amounts when target samples are within the analyte and spectral calibration source domain. Models fail when target samples shift (analyte amounts and/or spectra) from the original calibration domain model. A total recalibration solution requires acquisition of new sample reference values and spectra. However, obtaining enough reference values to distinguish the target domain may be challenging or expensive. A simpler approach adapts the original model to the target domain using target sample spectra without analyte reference values (unlabeled). Analytical chemists have developed several machine learning algorithms using unlabeled regression domain adaptation processes. Unfortunately, prediction accuracy declines for these methods depending on how much the target domain analyte distribution has shifted from the calibration distribution, and regression transfer learning methods are instead needed. Regression domain adaptation and transfer learning are often referred to as model updating in analytical chemistry, but regression domain adaptation only applies to spectral shifts. The regression transfer learning method presented in this paper named null augmentation regression constant analyte (NARCA) leverages unlabeled repeat spectra of a single target sample to update an original calibration model to the shifted target domain sample. With sample repeat spectra, the analyte amount can be assumed constant or nearly constant for NARCA and because models are formed for one sample, NARCA operates as a local modeling method. The performance of NARCA as a regression transfer learning method is evaluated using five near-infrared data sets.
Single-Shot Domain Adaptation via Target-Aware Generative Augmentations
The problem of adapting models from a source domain using data from any target domain of interest has gained prominence, thanks to the brittle generalization in deep neural networks. While several test-time adaptation techniques have emerged, they typically rely on synthetic data augmentations in cases of limited target data availability. In this paper, we consider the challenging setting of single-shot adaptation and explore the design of augmentation strategies. We argue that augmentations utilized by existing methods are insufficient to handle large distribution shifts, and hence propose a new approach SiSTA (Single-Shot Target Augmentations), which first fine-tunes a generative model from the source domain using a single-shot target, and then employs novel sampling strategies for curating synthetic target data. Using experiments with a state-of-the-art domain adaptation method, we find that SiSTA produces improvements as high as 20% over existing baselines under challenging shifts in face attribute detection, and that it performs competitively to oracle models obtained by training on a larger target dataset.

The scarcity of labeled data has traditionally been the primary hindrance in building scalable supervised deep learning models that can retain adequate performance in the presence of various heterogeneities in sample distributions. Domain adaptation tries to address this issue by adapting features learned from a smaller set of labeled samples to that of the incoming unlabeled samples. The traditional domain adaptation approaches normally consider only a single source of labeled samples, but in real world use cases, labeled samples can originate from multiple-sources – providing motivation for multi-source domain adaptation (MSDA). Several MSDA approaches have been investigated for wearable sensor-based human activity recognition (HAR) in recent times, but their performance improvement compared to single source counterpart remained marginal. To remedy this performance gap that, we explore multiple avenues to align the conditional distributions in addition to the usual alignment of marginal ones. In our investigation, we extend an existing multi-source domain adaptation approach under semi-supervised settings. We assume the availability of partially labeled target domain data and further explore the pseudo labeling usage with a goal to achieve a performance similar to the former. In our experiments on three publicly available datasets, we find that a limited labeled target domain data and pseudo label data boost the performance over the unsupervised approach by 10-35% and 2-6%, respectively, in various domain adaptation scenarios.more » « less

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.

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 𝑃𝑌 and the class-conditional distribution 𝑃𝑋|𝑌 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

Existing object recognition models have been shown to lack robustness in diverse geographical scenarios due to domain shifts in design and context. Class representations need to be adapted to more accurately reflect an object concept under these shifts. In the absence of training data from target geographies, we hypothesize that geographically diverse descriptive knowledge of categories can enhance robustness. For this purpose, we explore the feasibility of probing a large language model for geography-based object knowledge, and we examine the effects of integrating knowledge into zero-shot and learnable soft prompting with CLIP. Within this exploration, we propose geography knowledge regularization to ensure that soft prompts trained on a source set of geographies generalize to an unseen target set. Accuracy gains over prompting baselines on DollarStreet while training only on Europe data are up to +2.8/1.2/1.6 on target data from Africa/Asia/Americas, and +4.6 overall on the hardest classes. Competitive performance is shown vs. few-shot target training, and analysis is provided to direct future study of geographical robustness.more » « less
