Ramen: Robust Test-Time Adaptation of Vision-Language Models with Active Sample Selection

ArXi:2604.21728v1 Announce Type: cross Pretrained vision-language models such as CLIP exhibit strong zero-shot generalization but remain sensitive to distribution shifts. Test-time adaptation adapts models during inference without access to source data or target labels, offering a practical way to handle such shifts. However, existing methods typically assume that test samples come from a single, consistent domain, while in practice, test data often include samples from mixed domains with distinct characteristics. Consequently, their performance degrades under mixed-domain settings.
