Feature Shift

Feature shift, the variation in data characteristics across different datasets or time points, poses a significant challenge for machine learning model performance and robustness. Current research focuses on detecting and mitigating feature shift's negative impact, employing techniques like adversarial learning, optimal transport, and Shapley values to understand and correct these shifts, particularly within vision-language models and time-series data such as video. These efforts aim to improve model generalization, reliability, and explainability across diverse applications, ranging from action recognition in video to monitoring the performance of deployed machine learning systems.
