Resampled Datasets Are Not Enough: Mitigating Societal Bias Beyond Single Attributes

EMNLP 2024main

We tackle societal bias in image-text datasets by removing spurious correlations between protected groups and image attributes. Traditional methods only target labeled attributes, ignoring biases from unlabeled ones. Using text-guided inpainting models, our approach ensures protected group independe…

Ethical Considerations for Responsible Data Curation

NeurIPS 2023oral

Human-centric computer vision (HCCV) data curation practices often neglect privacy and bias concerns, leading to dataset retractions and unfair models. HCCV datasets constructed through nonconsensual web scraping lack crucial metadata for comprehensive fairness and robustness evaluations. Current re…

PRIME: A Few Primitives Can Boost Robustness to Common Corruptions

ECCV 2022poster

"Despite their impressive performance on image classification tasks, deep networks have a hard time generalizing to unforeseen corruptions of their data. To fix this vulnerability, prior works have built complex data augmentation strategies, combining multiple methods to enrich the training data. Ho…

Benchmark for Human-to-Robot Handovers of Unseen Containers With Unknown Filling

RA-L 2020

The real-time estimation through vision of the physical properties of objects manipulated by humans is important to inform the control of robots for performing accurate and safe grasps of objects handed over by humans. However, estimating the 3D pose and dimensions of previously unseen objects using

Hold me tight! Influence of discriminative features on deep network boundaries

NeurIPS 2020poster

Important insights towards the explainability of neural networks reside in the characteristics of their decision boundaries. In this work, we borrow tools from the field of adversarial robustness, and propose a new perspective that relates dataset features to the distance of samples to the decision…

Multi-View Shape Estimation of Transparent Containers

ICASSP 2020accepted

The 3D localisation of an object and the estimation of its properties, such as shape and dimensions, are challenging under varying degrees of transparency and lighting conditions. In this paper, we propose a method for jointly localising container-like objects and estimating their dimensions using t…

Neural Anisotropy Directions

NeurIPS 2020poster

In this work, we analyze the role of the network architecture in shaping the inductive bias of deep classifiers. To that end, we start by focusing on a very simple problem, i.e., classifying a class of linearly separable distributions, and show that, depending on the direction of the discriminative…
