feature space adaptation alone

[jianingwangind]

Hi @wasidennis , before trying to combination feature and output space adaptation, i want to exploit the power of feature space adaptation and was trying to implement feature space alone. The feature map i was using for both domain is the output from layer3 in DeepMulti model, which has a depth 1024. I just set lambda-adv-target1(here the feature map adaptation takes place) as 0.001 and lambda-adv-target2 as 0. But please have a look at the loss during trainig. The loss_D1 decreases to 0 while the loss_adv1 keep increasing. Do you have any ideas? Is it because the segmentation network is shared over domains and isn't updated effectively so the feature maps coming from the same generator of the two domains are easy to distinguish? Looking forward to your reply!

Based on experiments we tried before, feature space adaptation is more sensitive and would need a much smaller weight for the adversarial loss.

I am facing the same trouble. The adversarial loss is diverging and loss_D is going to 0 very quickly. could you mention the hyper-parameter setting to reproduce the feature space adaptation setting? Specifically, did you pre-train your model on synthetic data before performing the adaptation?

I met the some trouble!I'm a beginner at segmentation and GAN but I guess when the source and the target domain are too far away from each other, the Discriminator can tell the difference between them very easily so the gradient tend to be 0; I tried to add weight for the adversarial loss but the Generator starts to produce white noise. So is there any traning tricks to avoid this problem?
