Navigating under non-stationary environment shifts poses a critical challenge for a Vision-and-Language Navigation (VLN) agent deployed in the wild. Yet, existing Test-Time Adaptation (TTA) methods for VLN largely treat online adaptation as transient, isolated updates, leading to catastrophic forget…
Wild Test-Time Adaptation (WTTA) is proposed to adapt a source model to unseen domains under extreme data scarcity and multiple shifts. Previous approaches mainly focused on sample selection strategies, while overlooking the fundamental problem on underlying optimization. Initially, we critically an…
Contextual linear optimization (CLO) uses predictive contextual features to reduce uncertainty in random cost coefficients and thereby improve average-cost performance. An example is the stochastic shortest path problem with random edge costs (e.g., traffic) and contextual features (e.g., lagged tra…
The remarkable success of "pretrain-then-finetune" paradigm has led to a proliferation of available pre-trained models for vision tasks. This surge presents a significant challenge in efficiently choosing the most suitable pre-trained models for downstream tasks. The critical aspect of this challeng…
