arXiv:2507.18632v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Zero-shot domain adaptation is a method for adapting a model to a target domain without utilizing target domain image data. To enable adaptation without target images, existing studies utilize CLIP's embedding space and text description to simulate target-like style features. Despite the previous achievements in zero-shot domain adaptation, we observe that these text-driven methods struggle to capture complex real-world variations and significantly increase adaptation time due to their alignment process. Instead of relying on text descr
The proliferation of AI models across diverse applications necessitates efficient domain adaptation methods to reduce reliance on extensive, labeled target datasets, driving innovation in zero-shot techniques.
This research streamlines model deployment by enabling robust AI performance in new environments without costly and time-consuming target data collection, accelerating AI adoption in specialized or data-scarce domains.
The shift from text-driven to synthetic image-driven zero-shot domain adaptation promises faster, more accurate, and more adaptable AI systems in real-world scenarios.
