Learning Subset-Shared Invariances for Domain Generalization with Mixture-of-Experts

arXiv:2606.25665v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Domain generalization (DG) aims to learn a model from one or more source domains that generalizes to an unseen target domain without accessing target data during training. A common approach enforces invariance of representations across all source domains, assuming predictive structure is globally shared. However, we demonstrate that enforcing invariance across more domains gradually restricts the feasible representation space, discarding transferable predictive factors that are not universally shared. To address this limitation, we propose subset

Why this matters
Why now

The proliferation of AI models across diverse deployment environments necessitates more robust and adaptable generalization capabilities, pushing research beyond simplistic data-transfer assumptions.

Why it’s important
