NICO++ DG Benchmark Subset (Unofficial)

Dataset Summary

This is a non-official subset of the NICO++ dataset, designed for Domain Generalization (DG) evaluation. We select 20 categories across 6 domains.

The dataset can be used to benchmark algorithms for domain generalization, domain adaptation, and robustness testing.

⚠️ Note: This dataset is not the official release of NICO++, but a re-organized subset curated for research purposes.


Supported Tasks and Leaderboards

  • Domain Generalization (DG)
  • Out-of-Distribution (OOD) Robustness
  • Representation Learning with Multiple Contexts

Languages

  • Images contain natural objects and scenes; no text annotations.
  • Labels are in English.

Dataset Structure

Data Fields

Each sample contains:

  • image: the input image (RGB)
  • label: the class label (integer)
  • category: the semantic category (string, one of 20)
  • domain: the environment/domain (string, one of 6)

Domains

We follow the DG benchmark setup:

"domains" = ['autumn', 'dim', 'grass', 'outdoor', 'rock', 'water']

Categories

The selected 20 categories are:

"categories" = [
 'kangaroo', 'dolphin', 'sailboat', 'pumpkin','gun','sheep','tent','mailbox','cactus','car',
 'spider','tortoise','fox','lion','elephant','racket','umbrella','crab','giraffe','chair'
]

Data Splits

The dataset is split into domains rather than standard train/val/test.

  • Researchers may adopt leave-one-domain-out DG evaluation, where training uses 5 domains and testing uses the held-out one.
  • Example: Train on {autumn, dim, grass, outdoor, rock}, Test on {water}.
