Bridging Explainability and Embeddings: BEE Aware of Spuriousness

ICLR 2026poster

Current methods for detecting spurious correlations rely on data splits or error patterns, leaving many harmful shortcuts invisible when counterexamples are absent. We introduce BEE (Bridging Explainability and Embeddings), a framework that shifts the focus from model predictions to the weight space…

DCI-ES: An Extended Disentanglement Framework with Connections to Identifiability

ICLR 2023poster

In representation learning, a common approach is to seek representations which disentangle the underlying factors of variation. Eastwood & Williams (2018) proposed three metrics for quantifying the quality of such disentangled representations: disentanglement (D), completeness (C) and informativenes…

Spuriosity Didn’t Kill the Classifier: Using Invariant Predictions to Harness Spurious Features

NeurIPS 2023poster

To avoid failures on out-of-distribution data, recent works have sought to extract features that have an invariant or stable relationship with the label across domains, discarding "spurious" or unstable features whose relationship with the label changes across domains. However, unstable features oft…

Discovering Dynamic Salient Regions for Spatio-Temporal Graph Neural Networks

NeurIPS 2021poster

Graph Neural Networks are perfectly suited to capture latent interactions between various entities in the spatio-temporal domain (e.g. videos). However, when an explicit structure is not available, it is not obvious what atomic elements should be represented as nodes. Current works generally use pre…
