• Abstract summary: The goal of the challenge is to develop a test-time adaptation (TTA) method, which could adapt the model to gradually changing domains in video sequences for semantic segmentation task. The TTA methods are evaluated in each image sequence (video) separately, meaning the model is reset to the source model state before the next sequence. The proposed solution secured a 3rd place in a challenge and received an innovation award.

• Abstract: The goal of the challenge is to develop a test-time adaptation (TTA) method, which could adapt the model to gradually changing domains in video sequences for semantic segmentation task. It is based on a synthetic driving video dataset - SHIFT. The source model is trained on images taken during daytime in clear weather. Domain changes at test-time are mainly caused by varying weather conditions and times of day. The TTA methods are evaluated in each image sequence (video) separately, meaning the model is reset to the source model state before the next sequence. Images come one by one and a prediction has to be made at the arrival of each frame. Each sequence is composed of 401 images and starts with the source domain, then gradually drifts to a different one (changing weather or time of day) until the middle of the sequence. In the second half of the sequence, the domain gradually shifts back to the source one. Ground truth data is available only for the validation split of the SHIFT dataset, in which there are only six sequences that start and end with the source domain. We conduct an analysis specifically on those sequences. Ground truth data for test split, on which the developed TTA methods are evaluated for leader board ranking, are not publicly available. The proposed solution secured a 3rd place in a challenge and received an innovation award. Contrary to the solutions that scored better, we did not use any external pretrained models or specialized data augmentations, to keep the solutions as general as possible. We have focused on analyzing the distributional shift and developing a method that could adapt to changing data dynamics and generalize across different scenarios.

  We introduce NuwaTS, a framework to train languages for time series imputation. NuwaTS can be applied to imputation tasks on incomplete time series from any domain with any missing patterns. We obtain a one-for-all imputation model which outperforms existing domain-specific models.

  Existing works mainly consider real-world test-time adaptation under non-i.i.d. data stream and continual domain shift. We argue failure of state-of-the-art methods is first caused by indiscriminately adapting normalization layers to imbalanced testing data. The final TTA model, termed as TRIBE, is built upon a tri-net architecture with balanced batchnorm layers.

We identify and highlight several challenges a self-training based method has to deal with. To prevent the model from becoming biased, we leverage a dataset and model-agnostic certainty and diversity weighting.

  We introduce a novel Equivariant Consistency Regulation Learning framework to learn more discriminative representations for each video. Our motivation comes from that the temporal boundary of the query-guided activity should be consistently predicted. In particular, we devise a self-supervised consistency loss module to enhance the completeness and smoothness of the augmented video.

  Adapting the source model to target data distribution at test-time is an efficient solution for the data-shift problem. We propose a new framework called Adaptive UNet where each convolutional block is equipped with an adaptive batch normalization layer. During test-time, the model takes in just the new test image and generates a domain code to adapt the features of source model according to the test data.
