Towards source-free domain adaptation: a model-heterogeneous perspective

Aug 2026 · Multimedia Systems · Vol 32 · 0 citations · 50 references

TL;DR

A Peer-level Heterogeneous Perception Framework is proposed that departs from such paradigms by enabling balanced collaboration between heterogeneous models by introducing an auxiliary domain that is significantly different from the target domain and employ an auxiliary model with the same architecture as the source model, thereby eliminating capacity bias while preserving heterogeneity.

COSMO: Consensus-Driven Shift Modulation for Source-Free Domain Adaptation

COSMO replaces expert-to-expert guidance with co-adaptation through an anchored shared consensus and achieves state-of-the-art performance under matched VLM backbones, indicating that it better balances the retention of valid source-derived evidence with the absorption of complementary VLM evidence.

MDRAN: a multi-source dual-refining adaptation network for source-free domain adaptation guided by vision-language-model

This work proposes a novel criterion, termed Maximum Refinement Decision score (MRD-score), which replaces softmax with median centering to normalize source models’ predictions along both positive and negative axes, thereby harnessing both affirmative and complementary guidance.

Active Domain Adaptation Under Concept Shift.

This paper proposes ADA-CS, a plug-and-play module compatible with any ADA or ASFDA framework, and introduces a CSS metric to quantify the Concept Shift Severity across domains, revealing that non-negligible concept shift exists in many transfer tasks.

A novel source-free domain adaptation with high-confidence sample selection and feature disentanglement for machinery fault diagnosis

This paper proposes a novel SFDA with high-confidence sample selection and feature disentanglement for machinery fault diagnosis, which effectively alleviates the adverse influence of noisy pseudo-labels during the stage of adaptation.

Boosting Black-Box Unsupervised Domain Adaptation With Cross-Model Contrastive and Consistency Learning.

Black-box unsupervised domain adaptation (black-box UDA) aims to adapt a target model without accessing source data or source-model parameters. Compared with conventional unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) and source-free UDA (SFUDA), this setting better protects data privacy and model security, but poses greater cha...
