Adversarial Variational Domain Adaptation
In this work we address the problem of transferring knowledge obtained from a vast annotated source domain to a low labeled or unlabeled target domain. We propose Adversarial Variational Domain Adaptation (AVDA), a semi-supervised domain adaptation method based on deep variational embedded representations. We use approximate inference and adversarial methods to map samples from source and target domains into an aligned semantic embedding. We show that on a semi-supervised few-shot scenario, our approach can be used to obtain a significant speed-up in performance when using an increasing number of labels on the target domain.
