Transfer Learning with Dynamic Adversarial Adaptation Network The recent advances in deep transfer learning reveal that adversarial learning can be embedded into deep networks to learn more transferable features to reduce the distribution discrepancy between two domains. Existing adversarial domain adaptation methods either learn a single domain discriminator to align the global source and target distributions, or pay attention to align subdomains based on multiple discriminators. However, in real applications, the marginal (global) and conditional (local) distributions between domains are often contributing differently to the adaptation. There is currently no method to dynamically and quantitatively evaluate the relative importance of these two distributions for adversarial learning. In this paper, we propose a novel Dynamic Adversarial Adaptation Network (DAAN) to dynamically learn domaininvariant representations while quantitatively evaluate the relative importance of global and local domain distributions. To the best of our knowledge, DAAN is the first attempt to perform dynamic adversarial distribution adaptation for deep adversarial learning. DAAN is extremely easy to implement and train in real applications. We theoretically analyze the effectiveness of DAAN, and it can also be explained in an attention strategy. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DAAN achieves better classification accuracy compared to stateoftheart deep and adversarial methods. Results also imply the necessity and effectiveness of the dynamic distribution adaptation in adversarial transfer learning.

Spectral Normalization for Domain Adaptation The transfer learning method is used to extend our existing model to more difficult scenarios, thereby accelerating the training process and improving learning performance. The conditional adversarial domain adaptation method proposed in 2018 is a particular type of transfer learning. It uses the domain discriminator to identify which images the extracted features belong to. The features are obtained from the feature extraction network. The stability of the domain discriminator directly affects the classification accuracy. Here, we propose a new algorithm to improve the predictive accuracy. First, we introduce the Lipschitz constraint condition into domain adaptation. If the constraint condition can be satisfied, the method will be stable. Second, we analyze how to make the gradient satisfy the condition, thereby deducing the modified gradient via the spectrum regularization method. The modified gradient is then used to update the parameter matrix. The proposed method is compared to the ResNet50, deep adaptation network, domain adversarial neural network, joint adaptation network, and conditional domain adversarial network methods using the datasets that are found in Office31, ImageCLEFDA, and OfficeHome. The simulations demonstrate that the proposed method has a better performance than other methods with respect to accuracy.
