target domain

The target domain refers to the specific area or environment where a model or system is intended to be applied or used. In machine learning and data analysis, it marks the particular context or problem space for which the model is developed and optimized. For example, if a model is trained to recognize animals in photos, the target domain could be wildlife photography. Understanding the target domain ensures that the model performs effectively and accurately in real-world situations where it will be deployed, aligning its capabilities with the specific characteristics and requirements of that environment.
