Hierarchical dataset selection can improve domain adaptation by optimizing the source data selection process for transfer learning tasks.

Motivation

Domain adaptation often suffers from negative transfer due to irrelevant or noisy source data. By incorporating hierarchical dataset selection, we can more accurately identify subsets of the source data that are most relevant to the target domain, potentially improving model performance.

Proposed Method

Conduct experiments where hierarchical dataset selection is applied to common domain adaptation benchmarks (e.g., Amazon reviews, Office-31). Compare the performance of models trained with and without hierarchically selected datasets in terms of accuracy and robustness. Analyze the relevance of selected data subsets by evaluating their similarity to the target domain.

Expected Contribution

This research could lead to improved domain adaptation techniques, offering a more effective way to leverage existing data in new tasks and reducing the risk of negative transfer.

Required Resources

Access to domain adaptation datasets, computational resources for training models, and expertise in transfer learning and hierarchical dataset analysis.
