Abstract

This thesis focuses on domain adaptation and cross-modal retrieval to address the challenges posed by domain shifts in machine learning applications. Specifically, it explores techniques for online handwriting recognition and visual self-localization. For handwriting recognition, the study uses deep metric learning and optimal transport to reduce domain shifts between different writing styles and writing modalities, while for visual self-localization, it enhances pose prediction through auxiliary tasks and representation learning fusion techniques to improve accuracy across sensor modalities. (Shortened.)
