Out-of-distribution (OOD) generalization has long been a challenging problem that remains largely unsolved. Gaussian processes (GP), as popular probabilistic model classes, especially in the small data regime, presume strong OOD generalization abilities. Surprisingly, their OOD generalization abilities have been under-explored before compared with other lines of GP research. In this paper, we identify that GP is not free from the problem and propose a domain invariant learning algorithm for Gaussian processes (DIL-GP) with a min-max optimization on the likelihood. DIL-GP discovers the heterogeneity in the data and forces invariance across partitioned subsets of data. We further extend the DIL-GP to improve Bayesian optimization's adaptability on changing environments. Numerical experiments demonstrate the superiority of DIL-GP for predictions on several synthetic and real-world datasets. We further demonstrate the effectiveness of the DIL-GP Bayesian optimization method on a PID parameters tuning experiment for a quadrotor.
