[Tex/LaTex] How to stop multirow text to overlap the next row

Question

I want to create a table like the following one.

But the second column of third row is overflowing the next one. How can I fix it? Here is the code.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{multirow}


\title{Table}
\date{June 2018}

\begin{table}[h]
\small
\begin{tabularx}{\linewidth}{|X|p{5cm}|X|}
\hline
One-step DA Approaches & Brief Description & Categories \\ 
\hline

\multirow{5}{\linewidth}{Discrepancy based}    & \multirow{5}{\linewidth}{ Fine tunes the deep network with labeled or unlabeled target data to reduce domain shift}           &  class criterion \cite{zhang2015deep}         \\ \cline{3-3} 
                                      &                    & Statistic criterion \cite{sun2016deep}           \\ \cline{3-3}

Answer 1

The number of rows in horizontal multi-row cells should be equal. So, you need to look at the number of rows in the tallest cell and adjust all adjacent cells accordingly.
