• Abstract summary: We propose a WEb-image assisted Domain GEneralization scheme, which is the first to exploit the diversity of web-crawled images for generalizable semantic segmentation. We also present a method which injects styles of the web-crawled images into training images on-the-fly during training, which enables the network to experience images of diverse styles with reliable labels for effective training.

• Abstract: Domain generalization for semantic segmentation is highly demanded in real applications, where a trained model is expected to work well in previously unseen domains. One challenge lies in the lack of data which could cover the diverse distributions of the possible unseen domains for training. In this paper, we propose a WEb-image assisted Domain GEneralization (WEDGE) scheme, which is the first to exploit the diversity of web-crawled images for generalizable semantic segmentation. To explore and exploit the real-world data distributions, we collect web-crawled images which present large diversity in terms of weather conditions, sites, lighting, camera styles, etc. We also present a method which injects styles of the web-crawled images into training images on-the-fly during training, which enables the network to experience images of diverse styles with reliable labels for effective training. Moreover, we use the web-crawled images with their predicted pseudo labels for training to further enhance the capability of the network. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method clearly outperforms existing domain generalization techniques.

  We argue that widely available web images can also be considered for the learning of new classes. To our knowledge, this is the first work to rely solely on web images for both the learning of new concepts and the preservation of the already learned ones.

  We present WIDIn, Wording Images for Domain-Invariant representation, to disentangle discriminative visual representation. We first estimate the language embedding with fine-grained alignment, which can be used to adaptively identify and then remove domain-specific counterpart. We show that WIDIn can be applied to both pretrained vision-language models like CLIP, and separately trained uni-modal models like MoCo and BERT.

  Domain adaptive segmentation typically relies on self-training using pseudo labels predicted by a pre-trained network on an unlabeled target dataset. The acquisition of pixel-level annotations across all images in a batch often leads to redundant information while increasing temporal overhead in online learning. We propose a novel image-pruning strategy that selects the most useful subset of images from the current batch for active learning.

  It is expensive to collect training data for every possible domain that a vision model may encounter when deployed. We consider how simply verbalizing the training domain as well as domains we want to extend to but do not have data for can improve robustness. Using a multimodal model with a joint image and language embedding space, our method LADS learns a transformation of the image embeddings from the training domain to each unseen test domain.

  Domain generalization (DG) has been a hot topic in image recognition, with a goal to train a general model that can perform well on unseen domains. In this paper, we propose a novel domain generalization method for image recognition through cross-client style transfer (CCST) without exchanging data samples. Our method outperforms recent SOTA DG methods on two DG benchmarks (PACS, OfficeHome) and a large-scale medical image dataset (Camelyon17) in the FL setting.
