arXiv:2606.04164v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Data samples used for training often differ from those encountered during fine-tuning and deployment, and while ML models show promise, their performance remains limited when only small annotated datasets are available. Performance often degrades under distribution shifts caused by diverse sensors, populations, and application settings. Although pre-training helps, models frequently encounter out-of-distribution (OOD) data in real-world settings, leading to reduced robustness. Existing adaptation methods usually assume fixed distribution shifts a
The paper addresses a pervasive challenge in machine learning, particularly with the increasing reliance on AI in diverse and critical real-world applications where data distribution shifts are common.
Improved methods for managing out-of-distribution data enhance the robustness and reliability of AI models, which is crucial for their safe and effective deployment across various industries.
New fine-tuning techniques specifically designed to handle distribution shifts will make AI models more adaptable and trustworthy, especially in scenarios with limited annotated data.
