Category-Adaptive Domain Adaptation for Semantic Segmentation

Zhiming Wang, Yantian Luo, Danlan Huang et al.

Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) becomes more and more popular in tackling real-world problems without ground truth of the target domain. Though tedious annotation work is not required, UDA unavoidably faces two problems: 1) how to narrow the domain discrepancy to boost the transferring performance; 2) how to improve pseudo annotation producing mechanism for self-supervised learning (SSL). In this paper, we focus on UDA for semantic segmentation task. Firstly, we introduce adversarial learning into style gap bridging mechanism to keep the style information from two domains in the similar space. Secondly, to keep the balance of pseudo labels on each category, we propose a category-adaptive threshold mechanism to choose category-wise pseudo labels for SSL. The experiments are conducted using GTA5 as the source domain, Cityscapes as the target domain. The results show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-arts with a noticeable gain on cross-domain adaptation tasks.

Small-footprint Keyword Spotting Using Deep Neural Network and Connectionist Temporal Classifier

Zhiming Wang, Xiaolong Li, Jun Zhou

Mainly for the sake of solving the lack of keyword-specific data, we propose one Keyword Spotting (KWS) system using Deep Neural Network (DNN) and Connectionist Temporal Classifier (CTC) on power-constrained small-footprint mobile devices, taking full advantage of general corpus from continuous speech recognition which is of great amount. DNN is to directly predict the posterior of phoneme units of any personally customized key-phrase, and CTC to produce a confidence score of the given phoneme sequence as responsive decision-making mechanism. The CTC-KWS has competitive performance in comparison with purely DNN based keyword specific KWS, but not increasing any computational complexity.
