A Triple Adversary Network Driven by Hybrid High-Order Attention for Domain Adaptation
How to bridge the knowledge gap between the annotated source domain and the unlabeled target domain is a basic challenge to domain adaptation. The existing approaches can relieve this gap by feature alignments across domains; however, aligning non-transferable features may lead to negative shift confusing the knowledge learning on target domains. In this paper, a triple adversary network is proposed on the basis of a high-order attention, hopefully to solve the problem. The proposed architecture focuses on the detailed feature alignment by a hybrid high-order attention using a fast iteration algorithm. In addition, an orthogonal loss of two complementary modules is applied to constrain the mutual exclusion of foreground and background features. Finally, a triple adversarial strategy is introduced to further improve the training convergence for the composed architectures. Numeric experiments on datasets of Digits, Office-31 and Office-home illuminate that the proposed network can effectively improve the state-of-art domain adaptations with superior transferring performance.
