On the Connection between Invariant Learning and Adversarial Training for Out-of-Distribution Generalization

Shiji Xin, Yifei Wang, Jingtong Su +1

Despite impressive success in many tasks, deep learning models are shown to rely on spurious features, which will catastrophically fail when generalized to out-of-distribution (OOD…
