Abstract:
Domain adaptation techniques help models generalize to target domains by addressing domain discrepancies between the source and target domain data distributions. These techniques are particularly valuable for cross-domain hashing retrieval, as they reduce training costs while maintaining high retrieval efficiency. However, existing unsupervised domain adaptative hashing methods often require access to both source and target domain data, which may raise privacy concerns regarding source domain data. To address these concerns, restricting access to source domain data is crucial, but this restriction also makes the alignment process between domains more challenging. In this paper, we propose a Source-free Domain Adaptive Hashing with Multiple Alignment (SFDAH-MA) approach for image retrieval. SFDAH-MA integrates model structure alignment, class moment alignment, and semantic relationship alignment to maximize inter-domain knowledge transfer. This comprehensive alignment strategy not only enhances retrieval performance across domains but also minimizes reliance on source domain data, thereby supporting data privacy protection. Extensive experiments show that SFDAH-MA achieves state-of-the-art performance in source-free settings and achieves comparable results to existing unsupervised domain adaptive hashing methods under conventional settings.
