Latent Feature Disentanglement for Visual Domain Generalization.

Despite remarkable success in a variety of computer vision applications, it is well-known that deep learning can fail catastrophically when presented with out-of-distribution data, where there are usually style differences between the training and test images. Toward addressing this challenge, we consider the domain generalization problem, wherein predictors are trained using data drawn from a family of related training (source) domains and then evaluated on a distinct and unseen test domain. Naively training a model on the aggregate set of data (pooled from all source domains) has been shown to perform suboptimally, since the information learned by that model might be domain-specific and generalizes imperfectly to test domains.

Unsupervised Multi-Target Domain Adaptation: An Information Theoretic Approach.

Unsupervised domain adaptation (uDA) models focus on pairwise adaptation settings where there is a single, labeled, source and a single target domain. However, in many real-world settings one seeks to adapt to multiple, but somewhat similar, target domains. Applying pairwise adaptation approaches to this setting may be suboptimal, as they fail to leverage shared information among multiple domains.
