Abstract
Domain generalization (DG) addresses the problem of generalizing classification performance across any unknown domain, by leveraging training samples from multiple source domains. Currently, the training process of the state-of-the-art DG-methods is dependent on a large amount of labeled data. This restricts the application of the models in many real-world scenarios, where collecting and annotating a large dataset is an expensive and difficult task. Thus, in this paper, we address the problem of Semi-supervised Domain Generalization (SSDG), where the training set contains only a few labeled data, in addition to a large number of unlabeled data from multiple domains. This is relatively unexplored in literature and poses a considerable challenge to the state-of-the-art DG models, since their performance degrades under such condition. To address this scenario, we propose a novel Selective Mixing and Voting Network (SMV-Net), which effectively extracts useful knowledge from the set of unlabeled training data, available to the model. Specifically, we propose a mixing strategy on selected unlabeled samples on which the model is confident about their predicted class labels to achieve a domain-invariant representation of the data, which generalizes effectively across any unseen domain. Secondly, we also propose a voting module, which not only improves the generalization capability of the classifier, but can also comment on the prediction of the test samples, using references from a few labeled training examples, despite of their domain gap. Finally, we introduce a test-time mixing strategy to re-look at the top class-predictions and re-order them if required to further boost the classification performance. Extensive experiments on two popular DG-datasets demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed framework. © 2021 ACM.
