In unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA), classifiers for the target domain are trained with massive true-label data from the source domain and unlabeled data from the target domain. However, it may be difficult to collect fully-true-label data in a source domain given a limited budget. To mitigate this problem, we consider a novel problem setting w...
Background: There has been a lack of tools to identify listening difficulties in school settings for both hearing and hearing-impaired Italian students. Thus, the present study aimed to realize cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Listening Inventory for Education-Revised for Italian students (LIFE-R-ITA). Methods: Following the validati...
Controlling the generative model to adapt a new domain with limited samples is a difficult challenge and it is receiving increasing attention. Recently, few-shot learning has shown promising process in domain adaptation. However, the texts generated by few-shot learning are typically devoid of linguistic diversity. To address this shortcoming, we f...

Community-based adaptation (CBA) is considered a key strategy in today’s adaptation and rural development landscapes. There is, as Terry Cannon notes, a ‘rush by climate change practitioners to be involved in CBA’. The chapter finds that CBAs implemented in rural communities generate new and/or intensified conflict as land and water resources come to be used differently, more intensively and/or redistributed in the context of competing claims to natural resources (communities, social groups, livelihoods etc.). Despite this, conflict receives very little attention in the apolitical framings of the policy and practice of planned adaptations, including CBA. The chapter takes as its case study a CBA (with a strong dry-season farming component) implemented in Ghana’s Upper East Region (UER). It employs social capital—especially the distinction between bridging and bonding social capital—as a construct to explain the impact that adaptation interventions have on relations within a community (bonding social capital) in terms of collective action in the management of natural resources, and how this might affect relations between communities, including migrant pastoralist communities (bridging social capital).
