10.48550/arXiv.2603.28555A method to improve vision-language models' ability to generalize across different visual domains by learning domain-invariant prompts.
Abstract
Large pre-trained vision-language models like CLIP have transformed computer vision by aligning images and text in a shared feature space, enabling robust zero-shot transfer via prompting. Soft-prompting, such as Context Optimization (CoOp), effectively adapts these models for downstream recognition tasks by learning a set of context vectors. However, CoOp lacks explicit mechanisms for handling domain shifts across unseen distributions. To address this, we propose Domain-invariant Context Optimization (DiCoOp), an extension of CoOp optimized for domain generalization. By employing an adversarial training approach, DiCoOp forces the model to learn domain-invariant prompts while preserving discriminative power for classification. Experimental results show that DiCoOp consistently surpasses CoOp in domain generalization tasks across diverse visual domains.

WHY NOW
Vision-Language Models moved forward this cycle; last verified April 2026. Public score 4.0/10.
Experimental results show that DiCoOp consistently surpasses CoOp in domain generalization tasks across diverse visual domains.
Directly stated in the abstract and supported by experimental results in the analysis.
partial
By employing an adversarial training approach, DiCoOp forces the model to learn domain-invariant prompts while preserving discriminative power for classification.
Explicitly stated in the abstract as the core method.
partial
CFP demonstrates the strongest cross-domain consistency, consistently achieving high (and often top) accuracy.
Directly stated in the analysis section with a clear performance comparison.
partial
CFP and DFP outperform SCP, suggesting explicit separation of domain/class segments improves handling of domain variation.
Directly stated in the analysis with a performance-based rationale.
partial
SCP shows less reliable performance, often yielding results comparable to or occasionally lower than the baseline CoOp
Directly stated in the analysis, indicating a limitation of the shared vector approach.
partial
This adversarial approach encourages domain context vectors to become domain-invariant while preserving class discrimination.
Explicitly described in the method section with a clear technical explanation.
partial
However, CoOp lacks explicit mechanisms for handling domain shifts across unseen distributions.
Directly stated in the abstract as the core problem being addressed.
