Abstract

Domain adaptation effectively transfers a learner from a source domain to a target domain. Recent deep methods are based on detailed comparison between a pair of source and target domains, which makes it less applicable to multiple domains. In this paper, we address the domain adaptation on the basis of subspace which provides more robust metric. We analyze the subspace methods in domain adaptation to theoretically derive a subspace-based feature transformation in an efficient form of simple summation. It intrinsically contributes to closing a gap between source and target subspaces in an end-to-end deep framework. Besides, due to the robust representation of subspace and the simple transformation, the proposed method naturally deals with multiple domains both for source and target in contrast to previous approaches. Multi-target domain adaptation especially provides efficient inference to process multiple target domains by only a single model. In the experiments on visual domain adaptation tasks, the proposed method exhibits favorable performance in a scenario of the multi-target domains.
