Resilience of Vision Transformers for Domain Generalisation in the Presence of Out-of-Distribution Noisy Images

Hamza Riaz, Alan F. Smeaton

Modern AI models excel in controlled settings but often fail in real-world scenarios where data distributions shift unpredictably - a challenge known as domain generalisation (DG).…
