Partial domain adaptation (PDA) problem involves aligning cross-domain samples while distinguishing outlier classes for accurate knowledge transfer.
Proposed approach, Bi-level Unbalanced Optimal Transport (BUOT), aims to address biases in the widely used weighting framework by incorporating sample-wise and class-wise relations in a unified transport framework.
BUOT model introduces a cooperation mechanism between sample-level and class-level transport for effective knowledge transfer and outlier identification.
Experiments on benchmark datasets confirm the competitiveness and efficiency of the BUOT model in tackling the challenges of partial domain adaptation.
