MixTTA: Low-Rank Cross-Channel Mixing for Reliable Test-Time Adaptation
Test-Time Adaptation (TTA) methods commonly update the affine parameters of normalization layers to adapt deployed models under distribution shifts. However, per-channel affine parameters perform axis-aligned scaling and shifting, making them geometrically incapable of correcting cross-channel structural changes induced by distribution shift. To address this limitation, we propose MixTTA, a lightweight plug-in module that equips normalization layers with a low-rank cross-channel transformation, enabling inter-channel mixing at each layer. To ensure that the low-rank branch captures only cross-channel interactions, we also propose Decoupling Projection that enforces strict separation from ...
