This paper is adjacent to HFEPX scope and is best used for background context, not as a primary protocol reference.
Use this as background context only. Do not make protocol decisions from this page alone.
All signals on this page are inferred from the abstract only and may be inaccurate. Do not use this page as a primary protocol reference.
Best use
Background context only
Use if you need
A secondary eval reference to pair with stronger protocol papers.
What to verify
Read the full paper before copying any benchmark, metric, or protocol choices.
Main weakness
This paper looks adjacent to evaluation work, but not like a strong protocol reference.
Treat as adjacent context, not a core eval-method reference.

Active test-time adaptation (ATTA) improves robustness under distribution shift by updating a deployed model during inference while selectively querying supervision. However, most existing ATTA methods implicitly assume that supervision can be requested for every incoming test batch, which can incur substantial annotation cost over long test streams. In this work, we introduce \emph{budgeted ATTA} in which labels are available for only a fraction of test batches. This formulation shifts the central challenge from deciding \emph{what} to label within a batch to deciding \emph{when} supervision should be applied over time. To address this challenge, we propose a budget-aware approach \emph{WISE-ATTA} that allocates supervision over the test stream based on lightweight signals computed online, prioritizing periods where supervision is likely to be most useful. When a batch is selected for supervision, we further employ a drift-based sample selection criterion that targets samples exhibiting ongoing, unconverged adaptation dynamics, enabling effective updates from a single labeled example. We evaluate this approach on synthetic corruptions (ImageNet-C) and natural distribution shifts (ImageNet-R/K/A). Across settings, WISE-ATTA achieves competitive or improved performance compared to recent ATTA methods while requiring substantially fewer labels. Overall, we find that the timing of supervision is a key, yet underexplored, aspect of active test-time adaptation. Code: https://github.com/Muhammad-Huzaifaa/WISE-ATTA
These are the protocol signals we could actually recover from the available paper metadata. Use them to decide whether this paper is worth deeper reading.
