A new research paper published on arXiv introduces a strength-monotonic law for domain alignment in frozen-embedding bioacoustic classification. The study, focusing on cross-domain mosquito-species classification, found that the stronger an encoder is on a given task, the more its generalization across domains relies on distribution alignment terms and is harmed by domain-rebalanced sampling. This law suggests a simplified recipe for effective classification, involving a frozen Perch 2.0 embedding, a lightweight probe, cross-entropy, one MMD term, and input augmentation, which performs comparably to more complex methods.
