报告摘要：

统计机器学习在人工智能研究和应用中起着至关重要的作用。然而，建立有效的机器学习模型需要大量标记的训练数据，而特定目标领域的数据标记过程需要耗费大量的人力物力，且十分耗时。因此，通过利用相关的且已标记的源域数据辅助模型的训练和学习，用于标记样本稀缺或完全无标记的弱标记目标域数据的精确识别已成为主流。随着大数据的爆炸式增长，数据的异质性日益突出。随之而来的问题是多域数据的独立同分布（i.i.d.）假设不成立，从而导致传统的机器学习性能下降或失效。近年来，用于解决标记数据稀缺和域间分布差异化问题的迁移学习（TL）和领域自适应（DA）作为典型的弱监督学习范式受到了极大的关注，并在很多智能化应用中包括图像识别、人脸识别、自然语言处理、遥感数据分析、医学图像分析、虚拟现实等领域取得了巨大的成功。本报告中，将介绍迁移学习/领域自适应的概念基础和过去10年来最新研究进展。此外，将介绍我们近年来在TL / DA方面的研究工作，包括分类器自适应模型（EDA，TIP16），子空间重建迁移学习（LSDT，TIP16; CRTL，ICCV17），公共子空间迁移学习（CDSL，TIM17），流形准则迁移模型（MCTL，TNNLS18）和自我对抗迁移网络（AdvNet，ACM MM17）。最后，将简要介绍我们提出的一种新的学习范式，即引导式学习，并用于异构视觉识别。

Statistical machine learning plays a critical role in artificial intelligence research and applications. However, establishing an effective machine learning model needs a number of labeled training data, whereas the labeling process in a specific target domain is labor cost expensive and time consuming. Therefore, training a learning model on the target domain where labeled patterns are scarce or unavailable by exploiting other labeled, related, auxiliary source domains becomes a mainstream. With the explosive growth of big data, the heterogeneity of data becomes increasingly prominent. The problem that comes with it is that the independent identical distribution (i.i.d.) assumption of multi-domain data does not hold, as a result, conventional machine learning cannot work well without i.i.d. condition. Recently, transfer learning (TL) and domain adaptation (DA), as representative weakly-supervised learning paradigm, have been proposed and received great attention, which are prevailingly needed and have demonstrated a great success in various applications such as image classification, face recognition, remote sensing, medical image, AR/VR etc. In this talk, I will present the concept basis and the recent progress of transfer learning/domain adaptation during the past 10 years. Further, I will introduce our recent works in TL/DA methodologies including the classifier adaptation models (EDA, TIP16), the subspace reconstruction transfer models (LSDT, TIP16; CRTL, ICCV17), the common subspace transfer model (CDSL, TIM17), the manifold criterion transfer models (MCTL, TNNLS18), the self-adversarial transfer (AdvNet, ACM MM17). Finally, I may briefly introduce our proposed new learning paradigm, Guide Learning (TNNLS18 in review), for heterogeneous visual recognition.
