• Abstract: In domain generalization, multiple labeled non-independent and non-identically distributed source domains are available during training while neither the data nor the labels of target domains are. Currently, learning so-called domain invariant representations (DIRs) is the prevalent approach to domain generalization. In this work, we define DIRs employed by existing works in probabilistic terms and show that by learning DIRs, overly strict requirements are imposed concerning the invariance. Particularly, DIRs aim to perfectly align representations of different domains, i.e. their input distributions. This is, however, not necessary for good generalization to a target domain and may even dispose of valuable classification information. We propose to learn so-called hypothesis invariant representations (HIRs), which relax the invariance assumptions by merely aligning posteriors, instead of aligning representations. We report experimental results on public domain generalization datasets to show that learning HIRs is more effective than learning DIRs. In fact, our approach can even compete with approaches using prior knowledge about domains.

  We consider unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA), where labeled data from a source domain and unlabeled data from a target domain are used to learn a classifier for the target domain. We show that contrastive pre-training, which learns features on unlabeled source and target data and then fine-tunes on labeled source data, is competitive with strong UDA methods.

  Most studies on unsupervised domain adaptation assume that each domain's training samples come with domain labels. We develop a dynamic neural network with adaptive convolutional kernels to generate instance-adaptive residuals to adapt domain-agnostic deep features to each individual instance. Our model, dubbed DIDA-Net, achieves state-of-the-art performance on several commonly used single-source and multi-source UDA datasets.
