Abstract
We introduce Invariant Risk Minimization (IRM), a learning paradigm to estimate invariant correlations across multiple training distributions. To achieve this goal, IRM learns a data representation such that the optimal classifier, on top of that data representation, matches for all training distributions. Through theory and experiments, we show how the invariances learned by IRM relate to the causal structures governing the data and enable out-of-distribution generalization.

Target Consistency for Domain Adaptation: when Robustness meets Transferability.

TL;DR: It is shown that the cluster assumption is violated in the target domain despite being maintained in the source domain, indicating a lack of robustness of the target classifier.

Multi-layer Representation Learning for Robust OOD Image Classification

TL;DR: It is argued that extracting features from a CNN’s intermediate layers can assist in the model's final prediction, when evaluating on the NICO dataset, and adapted the Hypercolumns method to a ResNet-18 and finds a significant increase in the models’ accuracy.

Extrapolatable Relational Reasoning With Comparators in Low-Dimensional Manifolds

TL;DR: This paper proposes a neuroscience-inspired inductive-biased module that can be readily amalgamated with current neural network architectures to improve out-of-distribution (o.o.d) generalisation performance on relational reasoning tasks, and shows that neural nets with this inductive bias achieve considerably better o.

BERT: Pre-training of Deep Bidirectional Transformers for Language Understanding

TL;DR: A new language representation model, BERT, designed to pre-train deep bidirectional representations from unlabeled text by jointly conditioning on both left and right context in all layers, which can be fine-tuned with just one additional output layer to create state-of-the-art models for a wide range of tasks.
