• Abstract summary: We argue that reducing the gap between source and target styles can boost models' generalizability. To solve the dilemma of having no access to the target domain during training, we introduce Test-time Style (TF-Cal) We present an effective technique to Augment Amplitude Features (AAF) to complement TF-Cal.

• Abstract: The topic of generalizing machine learning models learned on a collection of source domains to unknown target domains is challenging. While many domain generalization (DG) methods have achieved promising results, they primarily rely on the source domains at train-time without manipulating the target domains at test-time. Thus, it is still possible that those methods can overfit to source domains and perform poorly on target domains. Driven by the observation that domains are strongly related to styles, we argue that reducing the gap between source and target styles can boost models' generalizability. To solve the dilemma of having no access to the target domain during training, we introduce Test-time Fourier Style Calibration (TF-Cal) for calibrating the target domain style on the fly during testing. To access styles, we utilize Fourier transformation to decompose features into amplitude (style) features and phase (semantic) features. Furthermore, we present an effective technique to Augment Amplitude Features (AAF) to complement TF-Cal. Extensive experiments on several popular DG benchmarks and a segmentation dataset for medical images demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods.

  Single domain generalization (single DG) aims at learning a robust model generalizable to unseen domains from only one training domain. State-of-the-art approaches have mostly relied on data augmentations, such as adversarial perturbation and style enhancement, to synthesize new data. We propose emphStyDeSty, which explicitly accounts for the alignment of the source and pseudo domains in the process of data augmentation.

  Single-domain generalized object detection aims to enhance a model's generalizability to multiple unseen target domains. This is a practical yet challenging task as it requires the model to address domain shift without incorporating target domain data into training. We propose a novel phrase grounding-based style transfer approach for the task.

  Cross-domain text classification aims to transfer models from label-rich source domains to label-poor target domains. This paper proposes TACIT, a target domain feature disentanglement framework which adaptively decouples robust and unrobust features.
