Self-corrected unsupervised domain adaptation

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA), which aims to use knowledge from a label-rich source domain to help learn unlabeled target domain, has recently attracted much attention. UDA methods mainly concentrate on source classification and distribution alignment between domains to expect the correct target prediction. While in this paper, we attempt to learn the target prediction end to end directly, and develop a Self-corrected unsupervised domain adaptation (SCUDA) method with probabilistic label correction. SCUDA adopts a probabilistic label corrector to learn and correct the target labels directly. Specifically, besides model parameters, those target pseudo-labels are also updated in learning and corrected by the anchor-variable, which preserves the class candidates for samples. Experiments on real datasets show the competitiveness of SCUDA.
