  • Patent number: 11947632
    Abstract: An online concierge system trains a classification model as a domain adversarial neural network from training data labeled with source classes from a source domain that do not overlap with target classes from a target domain output by the classification model. The online concierge system maps one or more source classes to a target class. The classification model extracts features from an image, classifies whether an image is from the source domain or the target domain, and predicts a target class for an image from the extracted features. The classification model includes a gradient reversal layer between feature extraction layers and the domain classifier that is used during training, so the feature extraction layers extract domain invariant features from an image.
