Sliced Wasserstein Discrepancy in Disentangling Representation and Adaptation Networks for Unsupervised Domain Adaptation

원문 초록

This paper introduces DRANet-SWD, an extension of existing work that disentangles content and style representations of images for unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA). The approach builds upon DRANet by incorporating the sliced Wasserstein discrepancy (SWD) as a style loss instead of the traditional Gram matrix loss. The potential advantages of SWD over the Gram matrix loss for capturing style variations in domain adaptation are investigated. Experiments using digit classification datasets and driving scenario segmentation validate the method, demonstrating that DRANet-SWD enhances performance. Results indicate that SWD provides a more robust statistical comparison of feature distributions, leading to better style adaptation. These findings highlight the effectiveness of SWD in refining feature alignment and improving domain adaptation tasks across these benchmarks. Our code can be found here.
