Dual-Stream Semantic Guidance with Prototype Anchor Calibration for Source-Fully-Free Adaptation of Vision-Language Models

Source-Fully-Free Domain Adaptation (SFF-DA) has emerged as a strategic paradigm to adapt Vision-Language Models (VLMs) without any access to source data or task-specific source models. However, we identify a critical Dual Semantic Drift that hinders this process: static drift arising from the rigidity of fixed class embeddings, and dynamic drift stemming from the divergence of generated captions, causing severe semantic misalignment that intensifies the stability-plasticity dilemma. To address this, we propose DSSG (Dual-Stream Semantic Guidance), an end-to-end framework that reconciles fine-grained plasticity with global stability. Our core contribution is the Dual Semantic Guidance (DSG) module, which integrates a caption stream for domain-specific knowledge with a class-anchor stream to anchor global categorical consistency. Furthermore, a Dynamic Cross-Modal Knowledge Distillation (CMKD) module is introduced to leverage the evolving teacher distribution for calibrating teacher-student consistency. Building upon DSSG, we further introduce Prototype Anchor Calibration (PAC), yielding DSSG-PAC, which periodically calibrates prototype anchors and caches them until the next calibration. This design reduces redundant text-side computation while preserving the adaptability of class guidance to the evolving text space. We further establish SFF-DA risk bounds that relate student risk to semantic-teacher quality and teacher--student discrepancy. Extensive experiments demonstrate that DSSG consistently outperforms current state-of-the-art methods across multiple benchmarks, while DSSG-PAC largely preserves its adaptation performance with 18.9% lower total adaptation time.

AIDA: Legal Judgment Predictions for Non-Professional Fact Descriptions via Partial-and-Imbalanced Domain Adaptation

In this paper, we study the problem of legal domain adaptation problem from an imbalanced source domain to a partial target domain. The task aims to improve legal judgment predictions for non-professional fact descriptions. We formulate this task as a partial-and-imbalanced domain adaptation problem. Though deep domain adaptation has achieved cutting-edge performance in many unsupervised domain adaptation tasks. However, due to the negative transfer of samples in non-shared classes, it is hard for current domain adaptation model to solve the partial-and-imbalanced transfer problem. In this work, we explore large-scale non-shared but related classes data in the source domain with a hierarchy weighting adaptation to tackle this limitation. We propose to embed a novel pArtial Imbalanced Domain Adaptation technique (AIDA) in the deep learning model, which can jointly borrow sibling knowledge from non-shared classes to shared classes in the source domain and further transfer the shared classes knowledge from the source domain to the target domain. Experimental results show that our model outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms.

BiC-Net: Learning Efficient Spatio-Temporal Relation for Text-Video Retrieval

The task of text-video retrieval aims to understand the correspondence between language and vision, has gained increasing attention in recent years. Previous studies either adopt off-the-shelf 2D/3D-CNN and then use average/max pooling to directly capture spatial features with aggregated temporal information as global video embeddings, or introduce graph-based models and expert knowledge to learn local spatial-temporal relations. However, the existing methods have two limitations: 1) The global video representations learn video temporal information in a simple average/max pooling manner and do not fully explore the temporal information between every two frames. 2) The graph-based local video representations are handcrafted, it depends heavily on expert knowledge and empirical feedback, which may not be able to effectively mine the higher-level fine-grained visual relations. These limitations result in their inability to distinguish videos with the same visual components but with different relations. To solve this problem, we propose a novel cross-modal retrieval framework, Bi-Branch Complementary Network (BiC-Net), which modifies transformer architecture to effectively bridge text-video modalities in a complementary manner via combining local spatial-temporal relation and global temporal information. Specifically, local video representations are encoded using multiple transformer blocks and additional residual blocks to learn spatio-temporal relation features, calling the module a Spatio-Temporal Residual transformer (SRT). Meanwhile, Global video representations are encoded using a multi-layer transformer block to learn global temporal features. Finally, we align the spatio-temporal relation and global temporal features with the text feature on two embedding spaces for cross-modal text-video retrieval.

NI-UDA: Graph Adversarial Domain Adaptation from Non-shared-and-Imbalanced Big Data to Small Imbalanced Applications

We propose a new general Graph Adversarial Domain Adaptation (GADA) based on semantic knowledge reasoning of class structure for solving the problem of unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) from the big data with non-shared and imbalanced classes to specified small and imbalanced applications (NI-UDA), where non-shared classes mean the label space out of the target domain. Our goal is to leverage priori hierarchy knowledge to enhance domain adversarial aligned feature representation with graph reasoning. In this paper, to address two challenges in NI-UDA, we equip adversarial domain adaptation with Hierarchy Graph Reasoning (HGR) layer and the Source Classifier Filter (SCF). For sparse classes transfer challenge, our HGR layer can aggregate local feature to hierarchy graph nodes by node prediction and enhance domain adversarial aligned feature with hierarchy graph reasoning for sparse classes. Our HGR contributes to learn direct semantic patterns for sparse classes by hierarchy attention in self-attention, non-linear mapping and graph normalization. our SCF is proposed for the challenge of knowledge sharing from non-shared data without negative transfer effect by filtering low-confidence non-shared data in HGR layer. Experiments on two benchmark datasets show our GADA methods consistently improve the state-of-the-art adversarial UDA algorithms, e.g. GADA(HGR) can greatly improve f1 of the MDD by \textbf{7.19\%} and GVB-GD by \textbf{7.89\%} respectively on imbalanced source task in Meal300 dataset.
