• Abstract: While Test-Time Adaptation (TTA) has shown promise in addressing distribution shifts between training and testing data, its effectiveness diminishes with heterogeneous data streams due to uniform target estimation. As previous attempts merely stabilize model fine-tuning over time to handle continually changing environments, they fundamentally assume a homogeneous target domain at any moment, leaving the intrinsic real-world data heterogeneity unresolved. This paper delves into TTA under heterogeneous data streams, moving beyond current model-centric limitations. By revisiting TTA from a data-centric perspective, we discover that decomposing samples into Fourier space facilitates an accurate data separation across different frequency levels. Drawing from this insight, we propose a novel Frequency-based Decentralized Adaptation (FreDA) framework, which transitions data from globally heterogeneous to locally homogeneous in Fourier space and employs decentralized adaptation to manage diverse distribution shifts.Interestingly, we devise a novel Fourier-based augmentation strategy to assist in decentralizing adaptation, which individually enhances sample quality for capturing each type of distribution shifts. Extensive experiments across various settings (corrupted, natural, and medical environments) demonstrate the superiority of our proposed framework over the state-of-the-arts.

  Full-waveform inversion (FWI) is a method that utilizes seismic data to invert the physical parameters of subsurface media. Due to its ill-posed nature, FWI is susceptible to getting trapped in local minima. Various research efforts have attempted to combine neural networks with FWI to stabilize the inversion process.

  Domain shifts are ubiquitous in machine learning, and can substantially degrade a model's performance when deployed to real-world data. This paper proposes to improve these estimates by inducing diversity in each sampled minibatch. It simultaneously balances the data and reduces the variance of the gradients, thereby enhancing the model's generalisation ability.

  Federated learning (FL) provides a paradigm that can learn from distributed datasets across clients without requiring them to share data. In FL, sub-optimal convergence is common among data from different health centers due to the variety in data collection protocols and patient demographics across centers. We propose FedImpres which alleviates catastrophic forgetting by restoring synthetic data that represents the global information as federated impression.

  Machine learning applications on signals such as computer vision or biomedical data often face challenges due to the variability that exists across hardware devices or session recordings. In this work, we propose Spatio-Temporal Monge Alignment (STMA) to mitigate these variabilities. We show that STMA leads to significant and consistent performance gains between datasets acquired with very different settings.

  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.

  Federated Learning (FL) has become a popular distributed learning paradigm that involves multiple clients training a global model collaboratively. The data samples usually follow a long-tailed distribution in the real world, and FL on the decentralized and long-tailed data yields a poorly-behaved global model. In this work, we integrate the local real data with the global gradient prototypes to form the local balanced datasets.
