Abstract: A method receives first and second data generated from a first and second domains including first and second set of objects, receiving first class labels for each of the first set of objects, and receiving second class labels for each of the second set of objects. The method generates a training dataset by augmenting the first data and corresponding first class labels, and locally updating neural network parameters of a model based on the training dataset. The method generates a validation dataset by augmenting the second data and corresponding second class labels, and globally updating the neural network parameters of the model based on the validation dataset. The method also generates multiple target labels for target data generated from a target domain including a third set of objects after globally updating the neural network parameters of the model based on the validation dataset.
