FOAL: Fine-grained Contrastive Learning for Cross-domain Aspect Sentiment Triplet Extraction
Xu, Ting, Wu, Zhen, Yang, Huiyun, Dai, Xinyu
Aspect Sentiment Triplet Extraction (ASTE) has achieved promising results while relying on sufficient annotation data in a specific domain. However, it is infeasible to annotate data for each individual domain. We propose to explore ASTE in the cross-domain setting, which transfers knowledge from a resource-rich source domain to a resource-poor target domain, thereby alleviating the reliance on labeled data in the target domain. To effectively transfer the knowledge across domains and extract the sentiment triplets accurately, we propose a method named Fine-grained cOntrAstive Learning (FOAL) to reduce the domain discrepancy and preserve the discriminability of each category. Experiments on six transfer pairs show that FOAL achieves 6% performance gains and reduces the domain discrepancy significantly compared with strong baselines. Our code will be publicly available once accepted.
FOAL: Fast Online Adaptive Learning for Cardiac Motion Estimation

Motion estimation of cardiac MRI videos is crucial for the evaluation of human heart anatomy and function. Recent researches show promising results with deep learning-based methods. In clinical deployment, however, they suffer dramatic performance drops due to mismatched distributions between training and testing datasets, commonly encountered in the clinical environment. On the other hand, it is arguably impossible to collect all representative datasets and to train a universal tracker before deployment. In this context, we proposed a novel fast online adaptive learning (FOAL) framework: an online gradient descent based optimizer that is optimized by a meta-learner. The meta-learner enables the online optimizer to perform a fast and robust adaptation. We evaluated our method through extensive experiments on two public clinical datasets. The results showed the superior performance of FOAL in accuracy compared to the offline-trained tracking method. On average, the FOAL took only $0.4$ second per video for online optimization.
