  • 用联合谱核捕捉时序路径结构与频域特征,实现类别保持的分布对齐
  • 在13个时间序列基准上优于30种对比方法,显著降低目标域误差
  • 适合处理传感器、用户差异导致的数据分布偏移问题

无监督时间序列域适应(DA)旨在将标注源域上的分类器迁移到未标注目标域,应对因用户、传感器、设备或采集条件不同引起的分布偏移。现有方法多通过对抗训练、最优传输或矩差异来对齐全局特征边际分布。本文提出一种非对抗式的类条件路径分布对齐(CPDA)框架,不再仅对齐全局特征分布,而是对齐源与目标域的类别条件潜在路径分布。CPDA引入复合签名-谱核,联合捕捉聚合语义特征、时序路径结构、频域信息及低秩路径签名动态,并利用源域标签和目标域软伪标签实现类别保持对齐。理论分析表明,CPDA定义了有效的核差异度量,可退化为已有矩匹配方法,且能导出类别条件目标风险上界。在13个不同时间序列DA基准上,采用CNN、ResNet18和TCN骨干网络的实验验证了其有效性,显著优于30种差异度量、对抗性及伪标签基线方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Unsupervised time-series domain adaptation (DA) addresses the challenge of transferring a classifier from a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain under distribution shifts induced by different users, sensors, devices, acquisition conditions, or temporal dynamics. Existing methods typically mitigate this shift by aligning marginal feature distributions through adversarial training, optimal transport, or moment-based discrepancies. In this paper, we propose Class-Conditional Path Distribution Alignment (CPDA), a non-adversarial discrepancy-based framework that aligns source and target class-conditional latent path distributions rather than only global feature marginals. CPDA introduces a composite signature-spectral kernel that jointly captures pooled semantic features, temporal path structure, frequency-domain information, and low-rank path-signature dynamics, while using source labels and target soft pseudo-labels to perform class-preserving alignment. We further provide a theoretical analysis showing that CPDA defines a valid kernel discrepancy, admits existing moment-matching methods as restricted cases, and yields a class-conditional target-risk bound. Extensive experiments with CNN, ResNet18, and TCN backbones on 13 different time-series DA benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of CPDA against 30 discrepancy, adversarial, and pseudo-labeling baselines.
