A model must adapt itself to generalize to new and different data during testing. In this setting of fully test-time adaptation the model has only the test data and its own parameters. We propose to adapt by test entropy minimization (tent): we optimize the model for confidence as measured by the entropy of its predictions. Our method estimates normalization statistics and optimizes channel-wise affine transformations to update online on each batch. Tent reduces generalization error for image classification on corrupted ImageNet and CIFAR-10/100 and reaches a new state-of-the-art error on ImageNet-C. Tent handles source-free domain adaptation on digit recognition from SVHN to MNIST/MNIST-M/USPS, on semantic segmentation from GTA to Cityscapes, and on the VisDA-C benchmark. These results are achieved in one epoch of test-time optimization without altering training.

Entropy minimization has been widely used in unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA). However, existing works reveal that entropy minimization only may result into collapsed trivial solutions. In this paper, we propose to avoid trivial solutions by furt her introducing diversity maximization. In order to achieve the possible minimum target risk for UDA, we show that diversity maximization should be elaborately balanced with entropy minimization, the degree of which can be finely controlled with the use of deep embedded validation in an unsupervised manner. The proposed minimal-entropy diversity maximization (MEDM) can be directly implemented by stochastic gradient descent without use of adversarial learning. Empirical evidence demonstrates that MEDM outperforms the state-of-the-art methods on four popular domain adaptation datasets.
We describe a simple and general neural network weight compression approach, in which the network parameters (weights and biases) are represented in a latent space, amounting to a reparameterization. This space is equipped with a learned probability model, which is used to impose an entropy penalty on the parameter representation during training, and to compress the representation using a simple arithmetic coder after training. Classification accuracy and model compressibility is maximized jointly, with the bitrate--accuracy trade-off specified by a hyperparameter. We evaluate the method on the MNIST, CIFAR-10 and ImageNet classification benchmarks using six distinct model architectures. Our results show that state-of-the-art model compression can be achieved in a scalable and general way without requiring complex procedures such as multi-stage training.
We empirically demonstrate that test-time adaptive batch normalization, which re-estimates the batch-normalization statistics during inference, can provide $ell_2$-certification as well as improve the commonly occurring corruption robustness of adver sarially trained models while maintaining their state-of-the-art empirical robustness against adversarial attacks. Furthermore, we obtain similar $ell_2$-certification as the current state-of-the-art certification models for CIFAR-10 by learning our adversarially trained model using larger $ell_2$-bounded adversaries. Therefore our work is a step towards bridging the gap between the state-of-the-art certification and empirical robustness. Our results also indicate that improving the empirical adversarial robustness may be sufficient as we achieve certification and corruption robustness as a by-product using test-time adaptive batch normalization.
Domain adaptation (DA) aims to transfer discriminative features learned from source domain to target domain. Most of DA methods focus on enhancing feature transferability through domain-invariance learning. However, source-learned discriminability it self might be tailored to be biased and unsafely transferable by spurious correlations, emph{i.e.}, part of source-specific features are correlated with category labels. We find that standard domain-invariance learning suffers from such correlations and incorrectly transfers the source-specifics. To address this issue, we intervene in the learning of feature discriminability using unlabeled target data to guide it to get rid of the domain-specific part and be safely transferable. Concretely, we generate counterfactual features that distinguish the domain-specifics from domain-sharable part through a novel feature intervention strategy. To prevent the residence of domain-specifics, the feature discriminability is trained to be invariant to the mutations in the domain-specifics of counterfactual features. Experimenting on typical emph{one-to-one} unsupervised domain adaptation and challenging domain-agnostic adaptation tasks, the consistent performance improvements of our method over state-of-the-art approaches validate that the learned discriminative features are more safely transferable and generalize well to novel domains.
We propose self-adaptive training---a new training algorithm that dynamically corrects problematic training labels by model predictions without incurring extra computational cost---to improve generalization of deep learning for potentially corrupted training data. This problem is crucial towards robustly learning from data that are corrupted by, e.g., label noises and out-of-distribution samples. The standard empirical risk minimization (ERM) for such data, however, may easily overfit noises and thus suffers from sub-optimal performance. In this paper, we observe that model predictions can substantially benefit the training process: self-adaptive training significantly improves generalization over ERM under various levels of noises, and mitigates the overfitting issue in both natural and adversarial training. We evaluate the error-capacity curve of self-adaptive training: the test error is monotonously decreasing w.r.t. model capacity. This is in sharp contrast to the recently-discovered double-descent phenomenon in ERM which might be a result of overfitting of noises. Experiments on CIFAR and ImageNet datasets verify the effectiveness of our approach in two applications: classification with label noise and selective classification. We release our code at https://github.com/LayneH/self-adaptive-training.
