MiMiC / MiMiC+ (moment-matching steering)

Techniqueintermediate

Steers a representation from one concept class to another by matching the first two moments (mean and covariance) of the source and destination class distributions under a Gaussian/Wasserstein-optimal-transport assumption, optionally amplified by pushing further along the mean-difference direction by a scalar factor α (MiMiC+).
