Neural networks for multi-domain learning empowers an effective combination of information from different domains by sharing and co-learning the parameters. In visual tracking, the emerging features in shared layers of a multi-domain tracker, trained on various sequences, are crucial for tracking in unseen videos. Yet, in a fully shared architecture, some of the emerging features are useful only in a specific domain, reducing the generalization of the learned feature representation. We propose a semi-supervised learning scheme to separate domain-invariant and domain-specific features using adversarial learning, to encourage mutual exclusion between them, and to leverage self-supervised learning for enhancing the shared features using the unlabeled reservoir. By employing these features and training dedicated layers for each sequence, we build a tracker that performs exceptionally on different types of videos.
