Contrastive Learning for Unsupervised Domain Adaptation of Time Series
share
Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) aims at learning a machine learning model using a labeled source domain that performs well on a similar yet different, unlabeled target domain. UDA is important in many applications such as medicine, where it is used to adapt risk scores across different patient cohorts. In this paper, we develop a novel framework for UDA of time series data, called CLUDA. Specifically, we propose a contrastive learning framework to learn domain-invariant semantics in multivariate time series, so that these preserve label information for the prediction task. In our framework, we further capture semantic variation between source and target domain via nearest-neighbor contrastive learning. To the best of our knowledge, ours is the first framework to learn domain-invariant semantic information for UDA of time series data. We evaluate our framework using large-scale, real-world datasets with medical time series (i.e., MIMIC-IV and AmsterdamUMCdb) to demonstrate its effectiveness and show that it achieves state-of-the-art performance for time series UDA.
