Generalization to new domains not seen during training is one of the long-standing challenges in deploying neural networks in real-world applications. Existing generalization techniques either necessitate external images for augmentation, and/or aim at learning invariant representations by imposing various alignment constraints. Large-scale pretraining has recently shown promising generalization capabilities, along with the potential of binding different modalities. For instance, the advent of vision-language models like CLIP has opened the doorway for vision models to exploit the textual modality. In this paper, we introduce a simple framework for generalizing semantic segmentation networks by employing language as the source of randomization. Our recipe comprises three key ingredients: (i) the preservation of the intrinsic CLIP robustness through minimal fine-tuning, (ii) language-driven local style augmentation, and (iii) randomization by locally mixing the source and augmented styles during training. Extensive experiments report state-of-the-art results on various generalization benchmarks. Code is accessible at https://github.com/astra-vision/FAMix .
