- Abstract:
-
The adversarial training method has become the mainstream of the domain adaptation algorithm. The feature distributions of the source and target domains are aligned by a domain classifier to reduce the feature distribution discrepancy among different domains. However, existing domain adaptation methods only reduce the distance between different domain data without considering the relationship between the data distribution of the target domain and decision boundaries, thus decreasing the intradomain distinguishability of different categories in the target domain. Considering the shortcomings of the existing methods, an unsupervised domain adaptation algorithm based on classification discrepancy and information entropy confrontation (ACDIE) is proposed in this study. The algorithm uses the discrepancy and the domain aligning discrepancy between two classifiers and minimizes the information entropy to reduce uncertainty. Consequently, the proposed method makes the target domain feature far away from the decision boundaries and improves the distinguishability of different categories. The experimental results of the digital identification and Office-31 datasets show that the ACDIE algorithm can learn better feature representation. Moreover, the accuracy of the domain adaptation classification is considerably improved.
