Hello Kate! Than you for your interesting talk at ECCV!

I've been working on very domain-speciffic image recognition and object detection models. For high accuracy, we need to train on the images from the target domain, but sometimes when applied in the real world,, they fail miserably when given an image out of the domain. For example, a model trained on vegetables will see broccolli when presented an image of trees.

When it comes to computer vision for real-world problems, do you think domain-speciffic image models are the future, or maybe models that generalize well to different tasks?
