Domain generalization is challenging due to the domain shift and the uncertainty caused by the inaccessibility of target domain data. In this paper, we address both challenges with a probabilistic framework based on variational Bayesian inference, by incorporating uncertainty into neural network weights. We couple domain invariance in a probabilistic formula with the variational Bayesian inference. This enables us to explore domain-invariant learning in a principled way. Specifically, we derive domain-invariant representations and classifiers, which are jointly established in a two-layer Bayesian neural network. We empirically demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposal on four widely used cross-domain visual recognition benchmarks. Ablation studies validate the synergistic benefits of our Bayesian treatment when jointly learning domain-invariant representations and classifiers for domain generalization. Further, our method consistently delivers state-of-the-art mean accuracy on all benchmarks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ceessnoek.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/zehao-domain.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"985\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ceessnoek.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/zehao-domain-1024x985.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3846\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ceessnoek.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/zehao-domain-1024x985.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.ceessnoek.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/zehao-domain-300x289.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ceessnoek.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/zehao-domain-768x739.png 768w, https:\/\/www.ceessnoek.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/zehao-domain.png 1058w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ICML 2021 paper \u201cA Bit More Bayesian: Domain-Invariant Learning with Uncertaintyce\u201d by Zehao Xiao, Jiayi Shen, Xiantong Zhen, Ling Shao and Cees Snoek is\u00a0now available.
