Abduction-Deduction Entanglement: Domain Generalization via Representation Transplants
Researchers have introduced a novel method called Abduction-Deduction Entanglement to improve domain generalization in prediction models. This technique addresses the challenge of models trained on one data distribution failing to perform well on a different target distribution. By factorizing predictions into abduction (inferring unobserved variables) and deduction (predicting labels), the method leverages large source datasets to constrain possible prediction ensembles and then uses 'representation transplants' to search for optimal target distributions.
