• Abstract summary: We propose a new regularization using the supervised contrastive learning to prevent such overfitting and to train models that do not degrade their performance under the distribution shifts. Experiments on benchmark datasets that emulate distribution shifts, including subpopulation shift and domain generalization, demonstrate the advantage of the proposed method.

• Abstract: Distribution shifts are problems where the distribution of data changes between training and testing, which can significantly degrade the performance of a model deployed in the real world. Recent studies suggest that one reason for the degradation is a type of overfitting, and that proper regularization can mitigate the degradation, especially when using highly representative models such as neural networks. In this paper, we propose a new regularization using the supervised contrastive learning to prevent such overfitting and to train models that do not degrade their performance under the distribution shifts. We extend the cosine similarity in contrastive loss to a more general similarity measure and propose to use different parameters in the measure when comparing a sample to a positive or negative example, which is analytically shown to act as a kind of margin in contrastive loss. Experiments on benchmark datasets that emulate distribution shifts, including subpopulation shift and domain generalization, demonstrate the advantage of the proposed method over existing regularization methods.

  We present a novel approach for test-time adaptation via online self-training. Our approach combines concepts in betting martingales and online learning to form a detection tool capable of reacting to distribution shifts. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach improves test-time accuracy under distribution shifts while maintaining accuracy and calibration in their absence.

  Anomaly detection (AD) is the machine learning task of identifying highly discrepant abnormal samples. Under the constraints of a distribution shift, the assumption that training samples and test samples are drawn from the same distribution breaks down. We attempt to increase the resilience of anomaly detection models to different kinds of distribution shifts.
