Abstract: Multi-source domain adaptation leverages complementary knowledge from multiple source domains to enhance transfer effectiveness, making it more suitable for complex medical scenarios compared to single-source domain adaptation. However, most existing studies operate under the assumption that the source and target domains share identical class distributions, leaving the challenge of addressing class shift in multi-source domain adaptation largely unexplored. To address this gap, this study proposes a Class-Aware Multi-Source Domain Adaptation algorithm based on a Reweighted Matrix Matching strategy (CAMSDA-RMM). This algorithm employs a class-aware strategy to strengthen positive transfer effects between similar classes. Additionally, first-order and second-order moment matching strategies are applied to effectively align the source and target domains, while an adaptive weighting mechanism is utilized to optimize the contributions of different source domains to the target domain. These approaches collectively improve classification accuracy and domain adaptability. Experimental results on four publicly available chest X-ray datasets demonstrate that the superiority of the proposed method.
