Partial differential equations (PDEs) with multiple scales or those defined over sufficiently large domains arise in various areas of science and engineering and often present problems when approximating the solutions numerically. Machine…
Any novel medical imaging modality that differs from previous protocols e.g. in the number of imaging channels, introduces a new domain that is heterogeneous from previous ones. This common medical imaging scenario is rarely considered in…
Domain shifts are ubiquitous in machine learning, and can substantially degrade a model's performance when deployed to real-world data. To address this, distribution alignment methods aim to learn feature representations which are invariant…
