Heterogeneous domain adaptation (HDA) transfers knowledge across source and target domains that present heterogeneities e.g., distinct domain distributions and dierence in feature type or dimension. Most previous HDA methods tackle this problem through learning a domain-invariant feature subspace to reduce the discrepancy between domains. However, the intrinsic semantic properties contained in data are under-explored in such alignment strategy, which is also indispensable to achieve promising adaptability. In this paper, we propose a Simultaneous Semantic Alignment Network (SSAN) to simultaneously exploit correlations among categories and align the centroids for each category across domains. In particular, we propose an implicit semantic correlation loss to transfer the correlation knowledge of source categorical prediction distributions to target domain. Meanwhile, by leveraging target pseudo-labels, a robust triplet-centroid alignment mechanism is explicitly applied to align feature representations for each category. Notably, a pseudolabel renement procedure with geometric similarity involved is introduced to enhance the target pseudo-label assignment accuracy. Comprehensive experiments on various HDA tasks across text-toimage, image-to-image and text-to-text successfully validate the superiority of our SSAN against state-of-the-art HDA methods.

Current research on DNA storage usually focuses on the improvement of storage density by developing effective encoding and decoding schemes while lacking the consideration on the uncertainty in ultra-long-term data storage and retention. Consequently, the current DNA storage systems are often not self-contained, implying that they have to resort to external tools for the restoration of the stored DNA data. This may result in high risks in data loss since the required tools might not be available due to the high uncertainty in far future. To address this issue, we propose in this paper a self-contained DNA storage system that can bring self-explanatory to its stored data without relying on any external tool. To this end, we design a specific DNA file format whereby a separate storage scheme is developed to reduce the data redundancy while an effective indexing is designed for random read operations to the stored data file. We verified through experimental data that the proposed self-contained and self-explanatory method can not only get rid of the reliance on external tools for data restoration but also minimise the data redundancy brought about when the amount of data to be stored reaches a certain scale.
In this paper, we propose a Joint Semantic Transfer Network (JSTN) towards effective intrusion detection for large-scale scarcely labelled IoT domain. As a multi-source heterogeneous domain adaptation (MS-HDA) method, the JSTN integrates a knowledge rich network intrusion (NI) domain and another small-scale IoT intrusion (II) domain as source domains, and preserves intrinsic semantic properties to assist target II domain intrusion detection. The JSTN jointly transfers the following three semantics to learn a domain-invariant and discriminative feature representation. The scenario semantic endows source NI and II domain with characteristics from each other to ease the knowledge transfer process via a confused domain discriminator and categorical distribution knowledge preservation. It also reduces the source-target discrepancy to make the shared feature space domain-invariant. Meanwhile, the weighted implicit semantic transfer boosts discriminability via a fine-grained knowledge preservation, which transfers the source categorical distribution to the target domain. The source-target divergence guides the importance weighting during knowledge preservation to reflect the degree of knowledge learning. Additionally, the hierarchical explicit semantic alignment performs centroid-level and representative-level alignment with the help of a geometric similarity-aware pseudo-label refiner, which exploits the value of unlabelled target II domain and explicitly aligns feature representations from a global and local perspective in a concentrated manner. Comprehensive experiments on various tasks verify the superiority of the JSTN against state-of-the-art comparing methods, on average a 10.3% of accuracy boost is achieved. The statistical soundness of each constituting component and the computational efficiency are also verified.
