域自适应旨在缓解源域与目标域间分布偏移导致的性能下降。现有方法通常在特征空间或预测空间估计域差异,但忽视了域偏移下信号可靠性问题:学习到的表示和语义预测均可能不可靠,同等对待所有目标样本会导致误导性对齐和次优迁移。本文提出可信度感知域自适应框架,通过建模特征与预测信号的可靠性来衡量域差异。核心是联合特征-预测差异(JFPD),统一捕捉表示分歧与预测分歧,并以样本级可信度加权。可信度由两类机制定义:基于预测熵的不确定性感知可信度,抑制不可靠预测;基于特征空间原型相似性的语义对齐可信度,强调良好对齐表示。通过优先考虑高置信度、语义一致的样本并降低噪声或模糊样本权重,JFPD提供可靠性的域差异估计。进一步将JFPD融入训练目标,引导自适应向目标域可信区域收敛。在标准基准上的实验表明,该框架持续取得更优适应性能,且差异估计与目标域误差高度相关。首次系统性揭示特征与预测交互中可信度的重要性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Domain adaptation aims to mitigate performance degradation caused by distribution shifts between a labeled source domain and an unlabeled or sparsely labeled target domain. Most existing approaches estimate domain discrepancy either in feature space or in prediction space. However, these single-perspective strategies overlook a critical problem under domain shift: the reliability of the signals used for alignment. In practice, both learned representations and semantic predictions may become unreliable, and treating all target samples equally can lead to misleading alignment and suboptimal transfer. We introduce trust-aware domain adaptation, a principled framework that models domain discrepancy through the reliability of feature and prediction signals. Central to our approach is the Joint Feature-Prediction Discrepancy (JFPD), a unified formulation that jointly captures representation divergence and prediction divergence while weighting their contributions by sample-specific trust. Trust is quantified via two complementary mechanisms: uncertainty-aware trust, derived from prediction entropy to suppress unreliable predictions, and semantic-alignment trust, computed from prototype similarity in feature space to emphasize well-aligned representations. By prioritizing confident and semantically consistent samples while down-weighting noisy or ambiguous ones, JFPD provides a reliability-aware estimate of domain discrepancy. We further integrate JFPD into a training objective that guides adaptation toward trustworthy regions of the target domain. Experiments on standard benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed framework consistently achieves superior adaptation performance and yields discrepancy estimates that correlate with target-domain error. This work addresses, for the first time, the importance of modeling trust in the interaction between features and predictions for domain adaptation.
