Semi-supervised Adaptive Learning Across Domains

salad is a library to easily setup experiments using the current state-of-the art techniques in domain adaptation. It features several of recent approaches, with the goal of being able to run fair comparisons between algorithms and transfer them to real-world use cases. The toolbox is under active development and will extended when new approaches are published.

📊 Benchmarking Results

One of salad’s purposes is to constantly track the state of the art of a variety of domain adaptation algorithms. The latest results can be reproduced by the files in the scripts/ directory.

Code for reproducing these results can be found in the scripts/ directory. Usage is outlined below.

💻 Installation

Requirements can be found in requirement.txt and can be installed via

pip install -r requirements.txt

Install the package (recommended) via

pip install torch-salad

For the latest development version, install via

pip install git+https://github.com/domainadaptation/salad

📚 Using this library

Along with the implementation of domain adaptation routines, this library comprises code to easily set up deep learning experiments in general.

The toolbox currently implements the following techniques (in salad.solver) that can be easily run with the provided example script.

• VADA (VADASolver), arxiv:1802.08735

  $ python scripts/train_digits.py --source svhn --target mnist  --vada
  

• Domain Adversarial Training (DANNSolver), jmlr:v17/15-239.html

  $ python scripts/train_digits.py --source svhn --target mnist  --dann
  

• Associative Domain Adaptation (AssociativeSolver), arxiv:1708.00938

  $ python scripts/train_digits.py --source svhn --target mnist  --assoc
  

• Deep Correlation Alignment

  $ python scripts/train_digits.py --source svhn --target mnist  --coral
  

• Self-Ensembling for Visual Domain Adaptation (SelfEnsemblingSolver) arxiv:1706.05208

  $ python scripts/train_digits.py --source svhn --target mnist    --teach
  

• Adversarial Dropout Regularization (AdversarialDropoutSolver), arxiv.org:1711.01575

  $ python scripts/train_digits.py --source svhn --target mnist  --adv
  

Examples (already refer to the examples/ subfolder) soon to be added for:

• Generalizing Across Domains via Cross-Gradient Training (CrossGradSolver), arxiv:1708.00938 Example coming soon!
• DIRT-T (DIRTTSolver), arxiv:1802.08735

Implements the following features (in salad.layers):

• Weights Ensembling using Exponential Moving Averages or Stored Weights
• WalkerLoss and Visit Loss (arxiv:1708.00938)
• Virtual Adversarial Training (arxiv:1704.03976)

Coming soon:

• Deep Joint Optimal Transport (DJDOTSolver), arxiv:1803.10081
• Translation based approaches

Quick Start

To get started, the scripts/ directory contains several python scripts for both running replication studies on digit benchmarks and studies on a different dataset (toy example: adaptation to noisy images).

$ cd scripts
$ python train_digits.py --log ./log --teach --source svhn --target mnist

Reasons for using solver abstractions

The chosen abstraction style organizes experiments into a subclass of Solver.

Quickstart: MNIST Experiment

As a quick MNIST experiment:

from salad.solvers import Solver

class MNISTSolver(Solver):

    def __init__(self, model, dataset, **kwargs):

        self.model = model
        super().__init__(dataset, **kwargs)

    def _init_optims(self, lr = 1e-4, **kwargs):
        super()._init_optims(**kwargs)

        opt = torch.optim.Adam(self.model.parameters(), lr = lr)
        self.register_optimizer(opt)

    def _init_losses(self):
        pass

For a simple tasks as MNIST, the code is quite long compared to other PyTorch examples TODO.
