Many variants of unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) problems have been proposed and solved individually. Its side effect is that a method that works for one variant is often ineffective for or not even applicable to another, which has prevented practical applications. In this paper, we give a general representation of UDA problems, named Generalized Domain Adaptation (GDA). GDA covers the major variants as special cases, which allows us to organize them in a comprehensive framework. Moreover, this generalization leads to a new challenging setting where existing methods fail, such as when domain labels are unknown, and class labels are only partially given to each domain. We propose a novel approach to the new setting. The key to our approach is self-supervised class-destructive learning, which enables the learning of class-invariant representations and domain-adversarial classifiers without using any domain labels. Extensive experiments using three benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art UDA methods in the new setting and that it is competitive in existing UDA variations as well.

本文提出一种通用的域自适应问题表示，称为广义域自适应 (GDA) ，涵盖了主要变量作为其特殊情况，该广义化引出一种新的具有挑战性的设置，其中现有的方法失败了。 我们提出了一种新颖的方法，其关键是无监督的类破坏学习，这使得学习类不变表示和域对抗分类器无需使用任何领域标签，使用3个基准数据集的大量实验证明了我们的方法在新设置下优于现有的UDA方法，在现有UDA变量中也很有竞争力。
