• Title: Domain Generalization Emerges from Dreaming
• Authors: Hwan Heo, Youngjin Oh, Jaewon Lee, Hyunwoo J. Kim
• Abstract summary: We propose a new framework to reduce the texture bias of a model by a novel optimization-based data augmentation, dubbed Stylized Dream. Our framework utilizes adaptive instance normalization (AdaIN) to augment the style of an original image yet preserve the content. We then adopt a regularization loss to predict consistent outputs between Stylized Dream and original images, which encourages the model to learn shape-based representations.

• Abstract: Recent studies have proven that DNNs, unlike human vision, tend to exploit texture information rather than shape. Such texture bias is one of the factors for the poor generalization performance of DNNs. We observe that the texture bias negatively affects not only in-domain generalization but also out-of-distribution generalization, i.e., Domain Generalization. Motivated by the observation, we propose a new framework to reduce the texture bias of a model by a novel optimization-based data augmentation, dubbed Stylized Dream. Our framework utilizes adaptive instance normalization (AdaIN) to augment the style of an original image yet preserve the content. We then adopt a regularization loss to predict consistent outputs between Stylized Dream and original images, which encourages the model to learn shape-based representations. Extensive experiments show that the proposed method achieves state-of-the-art performance in out-of-distribution settings on public benchmark datasets: PACS, VLCS, OfficeHome, TerraIncognita, and DomainNet.

  Source-free domain adaptation (SFDA) aims to adapt a well-trained source model to an unlabelled target domain without accessing the source dataset. Existing SFDA methods ONLY assess their adapted models on the target training set, neglecting the data from unseen but identically distributed testing sets. We propose a consistency regularization framework to develop a more generalizable SFDA method.

  Domain Generalization (DG) has gained significant traction during the past few years. The goal in DG is to produce models which continue to perform well when presented with data distributions different from the ones available during training. We propose an alternative regularization technique for convolutional neural network architectures in the single-source DG image classification setting.

  Domain generalization (DG) aims to train a model to perform well in unseen domains under different distributions. This paper considers a more realistic yet more challenging scenario, namely Single Domain Generalization (Single-DG) We empirically ascertain a property of a model that correlates strongly with its generalization that we coin as "model sensitivity" We propose a novel strategy of Spectral Adversarial Data Augmentation (SADA) to generate augmented images targeted at the highly sensitive frequencies.
