Learning domain invariant representations by joint Wasserstein distance minimization.

Domain shifts in the training data are common in practical applications of machine learning; they occur for instance when the data is coming from different sources. Ideally, a ML model should work well independently of these shifts, for example, by learning a domain-invariant representation. However, common ML losses do not give strong guarantees on how consistently the ML model performs for different domains, in particular, whether the model performs well on a domain at the expense of its performance on another domain.

Spectral Embedded Deep Clustering.

We propose a new clustering method based on a deep neural network. Given an unlabeled dataset and the number of clusters, our method directly groups the dataset into the given number of clusters in the original space. We use a conditional discrete probability distribution defined by a deep neural network as a statistical model.
