Query: Target Consistency for Domain Adaptation: when Robustness meets
  Transferability   Learning Invariant Representations has been successfully applied for
reconciling a source and a target domain for Unsupervised Domain Adaptation. By
investigating the robustness of such methods under the prism of the cluster
assumption, we bring new evidence that invariance with a low source risk does
not guarantee a well-performing target classifier. More precisely, we show that
the cluster assumption is violated in the target domain despite being
maintained in the source domain, indicating a lack of robustness of the target
classifier. To address this problem, we demonstrate the importance of enforcing
the cluster assumption in the target domain, named Target Consistency (TC),
especially when paired with Class-Level InVariance (CLIV). Our new approach
results in a significant improvement, on both image classification and
segmentation benchmarks, over state-of-the-art methods based on invariant
representations. Importantly, our method is flexible and easy to implement,
making it a complementary technique to existing approaches for improving
transferability of representations.
