Traditional strategies like personalized training, which trains separate models per domain, and joint training, which uses a single model for all domains, have significant limitations in flexibility and effectiveness. To address this, we propose two novel domain adaptation methods for regression tasks based on interpretable unrolled networks--deep architectures inspired by iterative optimization algorithms. These models leverage the functional dependence of select tunable parameters on domain variables, enabling controlled adaptation during inference. Our methods include Parametric Tunable-Domain Adaptation (P-TDA), which uses known domain parameters for dynamic tuning, and Data-Driven Tunable-Domain Adaptation (DD-TDA), which infers domain adaptation directly from input data. We validate our approach on compressed sensing problems involving noise-adaptive sparse signal recovery, domain-adaptive gain calibration, and domain-adaptive phase retrieval, demonstrating improved or com...
