• Abstract: In AI-based histopathology, domain shifts are common and well-studied. However, this research focuses on stain and scanner variations, which do not show the full picture -- shifts may be combinations of other shifts, or "invisible" shifts that are not obvious but still damage performance of machine learning models. Furthermore, it is important for models to generalize to these shifts without expensive or scarce annotations, especially in the histopathology space and if wanting to deploy models on a larger scale. Thus, there is a need for "reactive" domain generalization techniques: ones that adapt to domain shifts at test-time rather than requiring predictions of or examples of the shifts at training time. We conduct a literature review and introduce techniques that react to domain shifts rather than requiring a prediction of them in advance. We investigate test time training, a technique for domain generalization that adapts model parameters at test-time through optimization of a secondary self-supervised task.

  We introduce HyDA, a novel hypernetwork framework that leverages domain characteristics rather than suppressing them. Specifically, HyDA learns implicit domain representations and uses them to adjust model parameters on-the-fly. We validate HyDA on two clinically relevant applications - MRI brain age prediction and chest X-ray pathology classification.

  Unsupervised domain generalization is fast gaining attention but is still far from well-studied. Disentangled Masked Auto (DisMAE) aims to discover the disentangled representations that faithfully reveal intrinsic features. DisMAE co-trains the asymmetric dual-branch architecture with semantic and lightweight variation encoders.

  Histopathology is critical for the diagnosis of many diseases, including cancer. computational techniques are limited by batch effects, where technical factors like differences in preparation protocol or scanners can alter the appearance of slides. Here, we propose a domain adaptation method that improves the generalization of histological models to data from unseen institutions.

• Single-domain Generalization in Medical Image Segmentation via Test-time Adaptation from Shape Dictionary [64.5632303184502]
  Domain generalization typically requires data from multiple source domains for model learning. This paper studies the important yet challenging single domain generalization problem, in which a model is learned under the worst-case scenario with only one source domain to directly generalize to different unseen target domains. We present a novel approach to address this problem in medical image segmentation, which extracts and integrates the semantic shape prior information of segmentation that are invariant across domains.

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.

• Adaptive Risk Minimization: Learning to Adapt to Domain Shift [109.87561509436016]
  A fundamental assumption of most machine learning algorithms is that the training and test data are drawn from the same underlying distribution. In this work, we consider the problem setting of domain generalization, where the training data are structured into domains and there may be multiple test time shifts. We introduce the framework of adaptive risk minimization (ARM), in which models are directly optimized for effective adaptation to shift by learning to adapt on the training domains.

  We introduce an adversarial-prediction guided multi-task network to learn the adaptation of a well-trained model for use on a novel unlabeled target domain. Since no label is available on target domain, we learn an encoding representation not only for the supervised segmentation on source domain but also for unsupervised reconstruction of the target data.
