Target Domain

Target domain adaptation in machine learning focuses on improving the performance of models trained on one data distribution (source domain) when applied to a different, unseen distribution (target domain). Current research emphasizes techniques like adversarial learning, self-supervised learning, and pseudo-labeling to bridge the domain gap, often employing architectures such as generative adversarial networks (GANs) and transformers. These advancements are crucial for deploying machine learning models in real-world scenarios where data distributions inevitably vary, impacting fields ranging from medical image analysis to natural language processing and robotics. The ultimate goal is to create robust and generalizable models that perform reliably across diverse data sources.
