Domain Weight

Domain weighting, in the context of machine learning, focuses on optimizing the contribution of different data sources (domains) during model training to improve generalization and efficiency. Current research emphasizes developing algorithms, often involving bi-level optimization or minimax approaches, to automatically learn optimal domain weights, rather than relying on manual adjustments or heuristics. This automated weighting improves model performance on downstream tasks, reduces training time, and enhances the ability to adapt to unseen data, impacting various applications from natural language processing to semantic segmentation.
