Abstract: Multi-source domain adaptation (MSDA) aims to leverage the knowledge in multiple source domains to assist the prediction in a target domain, where the source and target domains have different data distributions. This paper presents a MSDA model to investigate both domain discrepancy and domain relevance, whose interactions are also exploited to gradually refine the learning performance. Particularly, the proposed model contains two components, i.e., feature spaces learning and transferred weights learning. The former one minimizes the domain discrepancy and the latter one evaluates the domain relevance. Experimental results on several real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.
