process that can effectively generalize to test samples, even in the presence of distribution …

Inductive biases for deep learning of higher-level cognition

A Goyal, Y Bengio - Proceedings of the Royal Society A, 2022 - royalsocietypublishing.org
A fascinating hypothesis is that human and animal intelligence could be explained by a few
principles (rather than an encyclopaedic list of heuristics). If that hypothesis was correct, we …

Test-time prompt tuning for zero-shot generalization in vision-language models

M Shu, W Nie, DA Huang, Z Yu… - Advances in …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc

Continual test-time domain adaptation

Q Wang, O Fink, L Van Gool… - Proceedings of the IEEE …, 2022 - openaccess.thecvf.com
Test-time domain adaptation aims to adapt a source pre-trained model to a target domain
without using any source data. Existing works mainly consider the case where the target …

Efficient test-time model adaptation without forgetting

S Niu, J Wu, Y Zhang, Y Chen… - International …, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
Test-time adaptation provides an effective means of tackling the potential distribution shift

tackle distributional shifts. Despite encouraging results, it remains unclear when this …

Memo: Test time robustness via adaptation and augmentation

M Zhang, S Levine, C Finn - Advances in neural information …, 2022 - proceedings.neurips.cc
While deep neural networks can attain good accuracy on in-distribution test points, many
applications require robustness even in the face of unexpected perturbations in the input …

Tent: Fully test-time adaptation by entropy minimization

D Wang, E Shelhamer, S Liu, B Olshausen… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2020 - arxiv.org
A model must adapt itself to generalize to new and different data during testing. In this
setting of fully test-time adaptation the model has only the test data and its own parameters …

A fine-grained analysis on distribution shift
