Deeper, Broader and Artier Domain Generalization

Li, Da, Yang, Yongxin, Song, Yi-Zhe et al.

Understand

The problem of domain generalization is to learn from multiple training domains, and extract a domain-agnostic model that can then be applied to an unseen domain.

  • Domain generalization (DG) has a clear motivation in contexts where there are target domains with distinct characteristics, yet sparse data for training.
  • For example recognition in sketch images, which are distinctly more abstract and rarer than photos.
  • Nevertheless, DG methods have primarily been evaluated on photo-only benchmarks focusing on alleviating the dataset bias where both problems of domain distinctiveness and data sparsity can be minimal.
