• Abstract summary: We propose the Causal Representation-Based Domain Generalization on Gaze Estimation framework. We employ an adversarial training manner and an additional penalizing term to extract domain-invariant features. By leveraging these modules, CauGE ensures that the neural networks learn from representations that meet the causal mechanisms' general principles.

• Abstract: The availability of extensive datasets containing gaze information for each subject has significantly enhanced gaze estimation accuracy. However, the discrepancy between domains severely affects a model's performance explicitly trained for a particular domain. In this paper, we propose the Causal Representation-Based Domain Generalization on Gaze Estimation (CauGE) framework designed based on the general principle of causal mechanisms, which is consistent with the domain difference. We employ an adversarial training manner and an additional penalizing term to extract domain-invariant features. After extracting features, we position the attention layer to make features sufficient for inferring the actual gaze. By leveraging these modules, CauGE ensures that the neural networks learn from representations that meet the causal mechanisms' general principles. By this, CauGE generalizes across domains by extracting domain-invariant features, and spurious correlations cannot influence the model. Our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in the domain generalization on gaze estimation benchmark.

  Fine-tuning of pre-trained language models (PLMs) has been shown to be effective across various domains. We show that a robust representation can be derived through a so-called causal front-door adjustment, based on a decomposition assumption. Our work thus sheds light on the domain generalization problem by introducing links between fine-tuning and causal mechanisms into representation learning.

  Causality has been combined with machine learning to produce robust representations for domain generalization. We make a different attempt by leveraging the demonstration data distribution to discover causal features for a domain generalizable policy. We design a novel framework, called DIGIC, to identify the causal features by finding the direct cause of the expert action from the demonstration data distribution.

  We propose a novel domain generalization technique, referred to as Randomized Adversarial Style Perturbation (RASP) The proposed algorithm perturbs the style of a feature in an adversarial direction towards a randomly selected class, and makes the model learn against being misled by the unexpected styles observed in unseen target domains. We evaluate the proposed algorithm via extensive experiments on various benchmarks and show that our approach improves domain generalization performance, especially in large-scale benchmarks.

To deal with domain shift, we learn domain-invariant representations by the proposed principle of meta variational information bottleneck, we call MetaVIB.
