| contents | Deep learning algorithms often are trained and deployed on different datasets. Any systematic difference between the training and a test dataset may degrade the algorithm performance--what is known as the domain shift problem. This issue is prevalent in many scientific domains where algorithms are trained on simulated data but applied to real-world datasets. Typically, the domain shift problem is solved through various domain adaptation methods. However, these methods are often tailored for a specific downstream task and may not easily generalize to different tasks. This work explores the feasibility of using an alternative way to solve the domain shift problem that is not specific to any downstream algorithm. The proposed approach relies on modern Unpaired Image-to-Image translation techniques, designed to find translations between different image domains in a fully unsupervised fashion. In this study, the approach is applied to a domain shift problem commonly encountered in Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber (LArTPC) detector research when seeking a way to translate samples between two differently distributed detector datasets deterministically. This translation allows for mapping real-world data into the simulated data domain where the downstream algorithms can be run with much less domain-shift-related degradation. Conversely, using the translation from the simulated data in a real-world domain can increase the realism of the simulated dataset and reduce the magnitude of any systematic uncertainties. We adapted several UI2I translation algorithms to work on scientific data and demonstrated the viability of these techniques for solving the domain shift problem with LArTPC detector data. To facilitate further development of domain adaptation techniques for scientific datasets, the "Simple Liquid-Argon Track Samples" dataset used in this study also is published. |
