Reviving In-domain Fine-tuning Methods for Source-Free Cross-domain Few-shot Learning
Yaze Zhao†, Yicong Liu†, Yixiong Zou, Yuhua Li, Ruixuan Li
- By establishing fine-tuning baselines of CLIP for CDFSL, we find adapter-based methods consistently outperform prompt-based ones—contrary to in-domain scenarios. We analyze this phenomenon and discover LoRA’s superiority stems from rectifying the collapsed attention of visual [CLS] token, enhancing modality alignment and class separation by focusing on text-related visual regions. Further, we find textual [EOS] token exhibit much better attention to visual samples, and CLIP’s standard contrastive loss weakly constrains modality alignment.
- Based on these insights, we propose a plug-and-play Semantic Probe framework consisting of an EAR module and a dynamic BAS loss, which revives in-domain fine-tuning methods and achieves SOTA performance on four CDFSL benchmarks.
- † indicates equal contribution (co-first authors).
GiPL: Generative augmented iterative Pseudo-Labeling for Cross-Domain Few-Shot Object Detection
Jiacong Liu, Shu Luo, Yikai Qin, Yaze Zhao, Yongwei Jiang, Yixiong Zou
- We propose GiPL, an efficient two-branch training framework for CDFSOD. In the first branch, we design an iterative pseudo-label self-training paradigm, which performs zero-shot inference on the support set to generate reliable pseudo-annotations, fuses them with ground-truth labels, and iteratively optimizes the model. In the second branch, we introduce generative data augmentation pipeline using large vision-language models, which synthesizes domain-aligned, multi-object annotated images.
The Second Challenge on Cross-Domain Few-Shot Object Detection at NTIRE 2026: Methods and Results
CDiscover team from HUST
- As part of NTIRE 2026, we hosted the second CD-FSOD Challenge to systematically evaluate and promote progress in detecting objects in unseen target domains under limited annotation conditions. The challenge received strong community interest, with 128 registered participants and a total of 696 submissions. Participants explored a wide range of strategies, introducing innovative methods that push the performance frontier under both open-source and closed-source tracks. This report presents a detailed overview of the NTIRE 2026 CD-FSOD Challenge.
Interpretable Cross-Domain Few-Shot Learning with Rectified Target-Domain Local Alignment
Yaze Zhao, Yixiong Zou, Yuhua Li, Ruixuan Li
- This work first identifies and addresses the local feature misalignment problem in CDFSL scenarios based on vision-language models (CLIP). To tackle this issue, we propose the CC-CDFSL method, which constructs self-supervised signals via bidirectional feature transformation and introduces the Semantic Anchor mechanism to mitigate noise interference in the visual modality.
