用适配器自动分离领域信息,提升少样本跨域分割效果
Adapter Naturally Serves as Decoupler for Cross-Domain Few-Shot Semantic Segmentation

- 利用适配器结构天然解耦领域特征,避免传统损失函数设计
- 在1-shot和5-shot场景下分别提升2.69%和4.68% MIoU
- 适合跨域少样本分割任务,尤其目标域数据稀缺时
跨域少样本分割(CD-FSS)旨在源域数据充足的情况下预训练模型,再迁移至仅有少量样本的目标域进行高效微调。该任务面临两大挑战:领域差异与样本稀缺下的微调。本文重新审视基于适配器的方法,发现适配器不仅能辅助下游任务微调,还能自然充当领域信息解耦器。我们进一步分析其内在机制,提出基于结构的解耦方法——领域特征导航器(DFN),用于捕捉领域特异性信息,引导模型关注领域无关知识。为防止源域训练中DFN过拟合样本特定信息,设计SAM-SVN方法加以约束。在目标域上,冻结主干网络,仅微调DFN以学习目标域特有知识。大量实验表明,本方法在1-shot和5-shot场景下分别超越当前最优方法2.69%和4.68% MIoU。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Cross-domain few-shot segmentation (CD-FSS) is proposed to pre-train the model on a source-domain dataset with sufficient samples, and then transfer the model to target-domain datasets where only a few samples are available for efficient fine-tuning. There are majorly two challenges in this task: (1) the domain gap and (2) fine-tuning with scarce data. To solve these challenges, we revisit the adapter-based methods, and discover an intriguing insight not explored in previous works: the adapter not only helps the fine-tuning of downstream tasks but also naturally serves as a domain information decoupler. Then, we delve into this finding for an interpretation, and find the model's inherent structure could lead to a natural decoupling of domain information. Building upon this insight, we propose the Domain Feature Navigator (DFN), which is a structure-based decoupler instead of loss-based ones like current works, to capture domain-specific information, thereby directing the model's attention towards domain-agnostic knowledge. Moreover, to prevent the potential excessive overfitting of DFN during the source-domain training, we further design the SAM-SVN method to constrain DFN from learning sample-specific knowledge. On target domains, we freeze the model and fine-tune the DFN to learn target-specific knowledge specific. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method surpasses the state-of-the-art method in CD-FSS significantly by 2.69% and 4.68% MIoU in 1-shot and 5-shot scenarios, respectively.
