无需源数据,在测试时自动消除干扰因素,提升模型泛化能力。

Uncover and Unlearn Nuisances: Agnostic Fully Test-Time Adaptation

  • 通过预设映射模拟潜在干扰,识别源与目标间的异常变化
  • 测试时正则化特征与预测结果,强制模型消除干扰因素
  • 适用于未知领域变化,尤其在图像退化和风格迁移任务中表现优异

完全测试时自适应(FTTA)在无法获取源数据和预训练模型训练协议的情况下应对域偏移问题。传统对齐源与目标特征分布的方法因缺乏训练数据且目标域不可预测而难以适用。本文提出一种新的无监督测试时自适应范式——无感知FTTA(AFTTA),允许在测试阶段使用现成的域变换方法,实现对未预见目标数据的直接泛化。为此,我们设计了‘发现并消除’策略:首先通过预定义映射模拟潜在域间干扰,将其视为干扰因素;测试时,通过正则化潜在表示和标签预测中的相应变化,强制模型消除这些干扰。具体地,采用基于互信息的准则,在特征空间引导干扰消除,并在标签空间促进一致且置信的预测。本方法显式处理无感知域偏移,在多种任务(包括图像噪声、风格迁移等)上持续优于现有方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Fully Test-Time Adaptation (FTTA) addresses domain shifts without access to source data and training protocols of the pre-trained models. Traditional strategies that align source and target feature distributions are infeasible in FTTA due to the absence of training data and unpredictable target domains. In this work, we exploit a dual perspective on FTTA, and propose Agnostic FTTA (AFTTA) as a novel formulation that enables the usage of off-the-shelf domain transformations during test-time to enable direct generalization to unforeseeable target data. To address this, we develop an uncover-and-unlearn approach. First, we uncover potential unwanted shifts between source and target domains by simulating them through predefined mappings and consider them as nuisances. Then, during test-time prediction, the model is enforced to unlearn these nuisances by regularizing the consequent shifts in latent representations and label predictions. Specifically, a mutual information-based criterion is devised and applied to guide nuisances unlearning in the feature space and encourage confident and consistent prediction in label space. Our proposed approach explicitly addresses agnostic domain shifts, enabling superior model generalization under FTTA constraints. Extensive experiments on various tasks, involving corruption and style shifts, demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms existing approaches.
