Zero-shot learning (ZSL) aims to recognize unseen objects (test classes) given some other seen objects (training classes), by sharing information of attributes between different objects. Attributes are artificially annotated for objects and…

Domain generalization is the problem of machine learning when the training data and the test data come from different data domains. We present a simple theoretical model of learning to generalize across domains in which there is a…
