Entropy Minimization by Adverarial Learning

  • A limitation of the Entropy loss is related to the absence of structural dependencies between local semantics.
  • This is caused by the aggregation of the pixel-wise prediction entropies by summation.
  • unified adversarial training framework which minimizes indirectly the Entropy of target data, by encouraging it to become similar to the source one.
  • minimizing distribution distance between source and target on the weighted self-information space
  • We perform the adversarial adaptation on weighted self-information maps using a fully-convolutional discriminator network
  • the discriminator produces domain classification outputs, i.e., class label for the source (resp. target) domain.
  • discriminate outputs coming from source and target images, and at the same time, train the segmentation network to fool the discriminator.
