SelectNAdapt introduces an unsupervised framework for few-shot domain adaptation, intelligently selecting representative target domain samples to form an effective support set. This approach improves model performance by leveraging self-supervised feature adaptation and distance-based clustering, consistently outperforming random selection across multiple benchmarks like PACS, Office-31, and VisDA.

Key insights

  • Intelligent, representation-driven selection of support samples yields superior few-shot domain adaptation results compared to random or uncertainty-based selection methods.
  • Self-supervised learning on the unlabeled target domain is crucial for learning robust, target-specific features that enable effective clustering and pseudo-label generation.
  • Samples closest to cluster centers are more beneficial for correcting Batch Normalization statistics during adaptation than samples near decision boundaries.
