• Abstract summary: We present a novel framework that uses adversarially learned transformations (ALT) using a neural network to model plausible, yet hard image transformations. We show that ALT can naturally work with existing diversity modules to produce highly distinct, and large transformations of the source domain leading to state-of-the-art performance.

• Abstract: To be successful in single source domain generalization, maximizing diversity of synthesized domains has emerged as one of the most effective strategies. Many of the recent successes have come from methods that pre-specify the types of diversity that a model is exposed to during training, so that it can ultimately generalize well to new domains. However, na\"ive diversity based augmentations do not work effectively for domain generalization either because they cannot model large domain shift, or because the span of transforms that are pre-specified do not cover the types of shift commonly occurring in domain generalization. To address this issue, we present a novel framework that uses adversarially learned transformations (ALT) using a neural network to model plausible, yet hard image transformations that fool the classifier. This network is randomly initialized for each batch and trained for a fixed number of steps to maximize classification error. Further, we enforce consistency between the classifier's predictions on the clean and transformed images. With extensive empirical analysis, we find that this new form of adversarial transformations achieve both objectives of diversity and hardness simultaneously, outperforming all existing techniques on competitive benchmarks for single source domain generalization. We also show that ALT can naturally work with existing diversity modules to produce highly distinct, and large transformations of the source domain leading to state-of-the-art performance.

  Single domain generalization (Single-DG) intends to develop a generalizable model with only one single training domain to perform well on other unknown target domains. Under the domain-hungry configuration, how to expand the coverage of source domain and find intrinsic causal features across different distributions is the key to enhancing the models' generalization ability. We propose a novel causality-inspired latent feature augmentation method for Single-DG by learning the meta-knowledge of feature-level transformation based on causal learning and interventions.

  Domain generalization tends to alleviate the poor generalization capability of deep neural networks by learning model with multiple source domains. A classical solution to DG is domain augmentation, the common belief of which is that diversifying source domains will be conducive to the out-of-distribution generalization. Our explorations reveal that the correlation between model generalization and the diversity of domains may be not strictly positive, which limits the effectiveness of domain augmentation.

This paper develops a simple yet effective feature-based style randomization module to achieve feature-level augmentation. Compared with existing image-level augmentation, our feature-level augmentation favors a more goal-oriented and sample-diverse way.
