Mixed Domain

Mixed-domain learning focuses on training machine learning models using data from multiple, often disparate, sources to improve generalization and performance beyond what's achievable with single-domain training. Current research emphasizes techniques like domain adaptation, where knowledge is transferred from a labeled source domain to an unlabeled target domain, and often involves architectures incorporating domain mixing modules, self-supervised learning, and distillation methods to bridge domain gaps. This approach is proving valuable in diverse fields, including computer vision (e.g., action recognition, person search, 3D segmentation), natural language processing (e.g., medical text analysis, machine translation), and robotics (e.g., terrain segmentation for planetary rovers), by enabling efficient model training with limited labeled data and improved robustness to real-world variations.
