Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of jointly training of a transferable feature extractor network, an ordinal regressor network, and an order classifier network in an ordinal regression unsupervised domain adaption network by providing a source of labeled source images and unlabeled target images; outputting image representations from a transferable feature extractor network by performing a minimax optimization procedure on the source of labeled source images and unlabeled target images; training a domain discriminator network, using the image representations from the transferable feature extractor network, to distinguish between source images and target images; training an ordinal regressor network using a full set of source images from the transferable feature extractor network; and training an order classifier network using a full set of source images from said transferable feature extractor network.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An ordinal regression unsupervised domain adaption network for jointly training of a transferable feature extractor network, an ordinal regressor network, and an order classifier network, comprising: a source of labeled source images and unlabeled target images; a transferable feature extractor network, operatively connected to said source of labeled source images and unlabeled target images, to output image representations, said image representations being realized by a minimax optimization procedure; a domain discriminator network operatively connected to said transferable feature extractor network; an ordinal regressor network operatively connected to said transferable feature extractor network; and an order classifier network operatively connected to said transferable feature extractor network and said domain discriminator network; said domain discriminator network being trained, using said image representations from said transferable feature extractor network, to distinguish between source images and target images; said ordinal regressor network being trained, using a full set of source images from said transferable feature extractor network; said order classifier network being trained, using a pair of source images from said transferable feature extractor network. 2. The ordinal regression unsupervised domain adaption network as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said transferable feature extractor network is trained by maximizing a loss of said domain discriminator. 3. The ordinal regression unsupervised domain adaption network as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a total loss for training the ordinal regression universal domain adaptation network is given as: ℒ ⁡ ( F , G r , G o , G d ) = ℒ or ( F , G r ) + γ 1 ⁢ ℒ ord ( F , G o ) + γ 2 ⁢ ℒ dom ( F , G d ) , γ 1 , γ 2 are hyper-parameters controlling an importance of order and domain discrimination adversarial losses; wherein F ⋆ , G r * , G o * = arg min F , G r , G o max G d ℒ ⁡ ( F , G r , G o , G d ) is solved by alternating between optimizing F, G r , G o , and G d until the total loss converges. 4. The ordinal regression unsupervised domain adaption network as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the loss for said ordinal regressor network is defined on labeled source images, ℒ or ( F , G o ) = 𝔼 x i ∈ D s ⁢ L coral ( G r ( F ⁡ ( x i ) ) , y i ) , where
